Huntington’s auto portfolio has continued to grow while maintaining “long term underwriting consistency and discipline,” according to Mac McCullough, the bank’s chief financial officer.
“The underwriting has not changed and our credit performance remains superior,” he said. “Our auto portfolio continues to demonstrate industry-leading performance.”
