9:28 am, February 8, 2010
So much for bankers' hours at Huntington Bank. Huntington said it's extending its banking week in Northeast Ohio to include Sundays, and will be open longer hours the rest of the week. Beginning today, Huntington said its 55 Cleveland-area banking offices will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday,
Huntington said it also has added 150 hires in the Cleveland area, bringing the total number of Huntington employees in Greater Cleveland to more than 900. The bank said it plans to add another 50 positions in commercial banking, treasury management, insurance, mortgage, asset-based lending and trust.
"At Huntington, we know that consumers and small business owners are busier than ever and want the convenience of evening and Sunday hours," Mary Navarro, senior executive vice president and retail and business banking director at Huntington, said in a statement. "The expanded hours are part of a larger Huntington strategy aimed at investing in Cleveland through more customer services as well as jobs that can help stimulate the economy."
Huntington said today's announcement is the continuation of a series of investments Huntington has made in the Cleveland market. Huntington recently opened a new banking office in Avon and has focused on small business lending. As a result, Huntington recently was named the No. 1 SBA lender in Cleveland. It is also the 7th largest SBA lender in the country.
