On October 20, 2025, Huntington Bancshares announced the completion of its merger with Veritex Holdings, Inc., closing the all‑stock transaction that had been pending regulatory approval. The combined entity now has approximately $223 billion in assets, $176 billion in deposits and $148 billion in loans based on September 30, 2025 balances. The deal adds Veritex’s 31 Texas branches to Huntington’s network, giving the combined bank more than 1,000 branches nationwide and expanding Huntington’s presence in the Dallas‑Fort Worth and Houston markets. Veritex’s president and CEO, C. Malcolm Holland III, will serve as Huntington’s Chairman of Texas, ensuring continuity of local leadership. Customer accounts from Veritex will be migrated to Huntington’s systems in the first quarter of 2026, while existing Huntington customers will continue to operate without interruption. The merger is expected to accelerate Huntington’s growth strategy in Texas and create synergies in lending, fee income and technology platforms.
