Open the app and go to Accounts

Start in the Huntington Bank mobile app on your phone. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner, then select Accounts. You'll see a list of accounts you've already linked to the app.

Look for a button or link that says Add Account, Link Account, or a plus sign (+). The exact label changes occasionally, but it's always near the top or bottom of your account list. Tap it to begin.

Choose which account to add

The app will ask whether you want to add an account you already own at Huntington or link an account from another bank. If you're adding a Huntington savings account you already have, select the option for Huntington accounts.

The app will then show you a list of savings accounts associated with your login. Select the one you want to add to your app view. If you don't see the account listed, it may not be linked to your online banking profile yet—you'll need to contact Huntington customer service to set that up first.

Verify your identity if prompted

Huntington may ask you to confirm your identity before adding a new account to the app. This usually means entering your PIN, password, or answering a security question you set up when you opened your account.

Some accounts trigger a text message or email verification code. If you receive one, enter it in the app within the time limit shown on your screen. This step protects your account from unauthorized access.

Confirm the account details

The app will display the account number (usually showing only the last four digits for security), account type, and current balance. Review this information to make sure it's the correct account. If something looks wrong, go back and select a different account.

Once you've confirmed the details are correct, tap Add or Confirm. The account should now appear in your account list within seconds.

Set up alerts and preferences (optional)

After adding the account, you can customize how it appears in your app. Many users rename accounts to make them easier to identify—for example, "Emergency Fund" instead of just the account number. Look for a settings or edit option next to the account name.

You can also set up balance alerts, which send you a notification when your savings account drops below a certain amount. This is useful if you want to avoid overdrafts or track spending. Go to the account settings and look for Alerts or Notifications.

Troubleshoot if the account won't add

If the account doesn't appear in the list when you try to add it, the account may not be fully set up in your online banking profile. Log into Huntington's website (not the app) and check that the savings account is visible there. If it's not, you'll need to contact Huntington to activate it.

If the account shows on the website but not in the app, try logging out of the app completely, closing it, and logging back in. Sometimes the app needs to refresh to show newly created accounts. If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall the app—this forces it to sync with your account information from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a savings account from a different bank to the Huntington app?

Yes. When you tap Add Account, select the option for accounts at other banks instead of Huntington accounts. You'll need to enter the account number and routing number, then verify your identity with the other bank. This process is called linking, and it lets you view multiple bank accounts in one place.

Why doesn't my savings account show up in the list?

The account may not be fully activated in your online banking profile yet. Log into Huntington's website and check that the savings account appears there. If it doesn't, contact Huntington customer service—they can activate it for you. Once it's active on the website, it should appear in the app.

Do I need a separate password to add a savings account?

No. The app uses your existing Huntington login credentials. You may be asked to re-enter your password or PIN as a security check, but you don't need to create anything new. If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" option on the login screen before trying to add an account.

Can I add multiple savings accounts to the app?

Yes. Repeat the Add Account process for each savings account you want to view in the app. You can add as many Huntington accounts as you own, and you can also link savings accounts from other banks to the same app.

What should I do if I get an error message when adding the account?

Common errors include network problems, outdated app versions, or temporary server issues. Try closing the app completely and opening it again. If the error persists, update the app through your phone's app store, then try again. If you still see an error, contact Huntington customer service with the error message—they can troubleshoot from their end.
