Huntington Bancshares, Inc. is an American bank holding company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. As of September 2015, the company had $69 billion in assets, making it the 33rd largest bank holding company in the country. The company is a component of the S&P 500. It was ranked number 610 on the 2008 Fortune 1000. The company's banking affiliate, The Huntington National Bank, provides retail and commercial financial services in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Huntington also provides retail services online. There also are selected financial service activities in other states, including offices in Florida, Cayman Islands, and Hong Kong.〔 Huntington also had retail banking offices in Florida until 2002, when it sold these branches off to SunTrust Banks in order to focus on its core Midwestern operations. Huntington formerly owned ATM's installed at locations of Pittsburgh-based restaurant chain Eat'n Park, which it had acquired through its 2007 acquisition of Sky Financial Group. These are now operated by third-party ATM providers. In early 2012, Huntington was in merger discussions with Flint, Michigan-based Citizens Republic Bancorp, one of the few major banks that had not repaid TARP funds. Such a deal would have boosted Huntington's presence in Michigan as well as Greater Cleveland, while at the same time entering Wisconsin. In September 2012, Citizens was purchased by rival First Merit == Acquisitions == On December 20, 2006, Huntington Bancshares announced it would buy Sky Financial Group Inc. based in Bowling Green, Ohio. This merger was completed on July 1, 2007, although Sky branches did not change their branding until late September. Huntington was one of the banks attempting, alongside Fifth Third Bank, to acquire the National City branches in the Pittsburgh region that the United States Department of Justice ordered sold when PNC Financial Services acquired National City. Huntington, which had entered the Pittsburgh market by way of the Sky acquisition, has been expanding in that market, and had considered the National City branches as a way to expand its market share. Ultimately, PNC sold the overlapping branches to First Niagara Bank. On October 3, 2009, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation named Huntington as receiver of a $400 million deposit portfolio from the bank failure of Warren Bank in Warren, Michigan. On December 18, 2009, Huntington signed a 45-day lease with the FDIC to run a bridge bank for the failed Citizens State Bank in New Baltimore, Michigan. Huntington acquired the tiny Savings Bank of Chillicothe, Ohio in the early 1980s, which gained some fame in 2011 when 100-year-old June Gregg revealed to Huntington officials that her father had opened a savings account for her as a baby with Savings Bank in 1913 and that she had subsequently kept the account open to the present day. Huntington officials, after doing research on the account in question, later confirmed it and gave her account a temporary increase in her interest rate to 5% as a centenarian present for her 98-year loyalty to Huntington and the Chillicothe branch's predecessor, Savings Bank. In April 2014, Huntington announced it would acquire 11 offices of Bank of America throughout Central Michigan, including the Port Huron and Saginaw markets. This will raise the number of Huntington branches in Michigan to 173, which includes over 40 locations within Meijer supermarket locations. Huntington is continuing to grow its footprint in the Great Lakes state. The following month, Huntington bought 13 additional offices from Bank of America in Michigan, mostly in the Flint market. The locations were converted to Huntington branches in September. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huntington Bancshares」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
