Huntington, TCF Merger Impacts Debit Cards
Regional U.S. banks Huntington Bancshares and TCF Financial have agreed to merge in an all-stock transaction. Huntington will acquire TCF for almost $6.00 billion. The combined bank will have about $170 billion in assets and over 1,200 branch locations in 12 states.
When their debit card businesses are combined, the new bank will rank 14th largest in the U.S. Huntington and TCF combined generated $39.05 billion in purchase volume in 2019 from 1.06 billion transactions and 5.1 million cards. Huntington, which issues Mastercard brand debit cards, uses Fiserv to handle cardholder account processing. TCF is a majority Visa debit card issuer. Fiserv also handles processing for TCF debit cards.
Neither Huntington nor TCF own merchant acquiring businesses. Both have merchant referral agreements with Fiserv.
TCF does not own a credit card portfolio. It is an agent for First Bankcard, a subsidiary of First National of Omaha. Huntington issues consumer and commercial credit card products. Its portfolio is the 35th largest among Mastercard and Visa card issuers in the U.S. There were 768,432 Huntington credit cards in circulation at midyear 2020. All had the Mastercard brand.
