Huntington National Bank is growing its commercial banking services in Austin and central Texas, following acquisitions of Cadence Bank and Veritex Bank. These moves make Huntington the eighth largest bank by deposits in Texas and the first listed on the Nasdaq Texas financial exchange. The bank hired Claire Harrison to lead its commercial banking efforts locally, aiming to serve middle-market and corporate clients in a region known for growth and innovation. This expansion is part of Huntington's broader strategy to increase its presence across the U.S. with diverse industry verticals and client relationships in all 50 states.
