Huntington National Bank will soon begin laying off employees in Dallas after closing a $1.9 billion acquisition of Veritex Community Bank.
The Columbus, Ohio-based regional bank plans to lay off 63 employees, according to a Nov. 21 Worker Adjustment and Training Notification Act notice. Huntington confirmed the layoffs in a statement provided to Dallas Business Journal.
The layoffs will go into effect on Jan. 19, 2026, according to the filing. They come after parent company Huntington Bancshares Inc. closed the acquisition of Dallas-based Veritex in October.
Huntington executives previously told Dallas Business Journal layoffs would occur as part of the integration process, but the filing provides a clearer view of the exact impact. Brant Standridge, president of consumer and regional banking, said in an interview after the deal closed that 25-27% of Veritex’s employees would likely be affected.
