Huntington Bancshares Incorporated has completed its merger with Veritex Holdings, significantly expanding its presence in Texas and accelerating growth initiatives in key metropolitan markets such as Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston. The merger, which was finalized recently, marks a significant milestone in Huntington's national growth strategy and underscores its long-term commitment to Texas communities.

Following the merger, the combined organization boasts approximately $223 billion in assets, $176 billion in deposits, and $148 billion in loans as of September 30, 2025, according to Pulse2. This integration has expanded Huntington's branch network to over 1,000 branches nationwide, with the addition of Veritex's 31 Texas branches.

Both Huntington and Veritex customers will continue to bank as usual during the integration process. Veritex accounts are scheduled to transition to Huntington's systems in the first quarter of 2026, with detailed conversion information to be provided to customers ahead of the change. Huntington customers will not experience any disruptions to their current banking services.

The merger underscores Huntington's commitment to strengthening community banking across its 14-state footprint while positioning the company for continued growth in one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding economies in the United States.
