    PNC is the worst mortgage company ever. DO NOT GET A MORTGAGE WITH THESE PEOPLE. I received a preapproval on October 19th. I found a home on November 10th. We were to close on December 16th. They have literally asked for the same documents from me 7 times. They keep telling me they didn't get the documents or can't read them. Funny since I'm, in some cases, dropping them off right to the mortgage officer. Our mortgage guy went out on a leave of absence from work because first his daughter was in the hospital and then he was in the hospital. No one from his office picked up the files that were left so my appraisal was never ordered. When it was finally ordered, they sent it back 4 times saying that there were corrections. Who are they to correct the appraiser? Then they asked me again for documents that I had sent in many times.

    They told me 2 days before December 16th that we wouldn't be closing until the following week. That week came and went and now they told me that if the loan doesn't close by December 27th (which it isn't because of them), they are going to increase my rate. They have had all paperwork that they need since November 16th. The documents that they keep asking for, the mortgage officer, claims are in their files, but that they don't look back into the files so they just keep asking for the same documents again. I can prove that they have the documents because I have emails confirming from the mortgage officer, that the documents were in his hand. Patricia from Chicago Office (the actual loan officer that approves everything) doesn't know her ** from a hole in her head.

    She is the one that keeps telling me we need documents that I have given them 7 times already and she never returns phone calls when you try to find out what is going on. On December 16th (original closing date), I received an email saying that everything was finally approved and congratulations. Then I got a text from the mortgage officer saying, "No that's not right, I'll have to speak to my IT Department about why they told you that, because it's not approved." After telling me that this loan would close before the 1st of the 2017, the mortgage officer's boss (Anton from the Hamilton Township NJ Branch) said "Nope, no more closings. We are too busy." I think he is just stalling so that they can increase the rates.

    They are rude, and on several occasions have cursed at me and told me to "relax and chill out," which I have in writing through emails or text messages. Well guess what PNC, you are losing this loan. I am seeking alternative financing and things are working rather quickly with this new financing. Please buyer, do not use this bank for anything. When this is all completed through the alternative means, I will be filing a complaint with Banking and Insurance in New Jersey as well.

    Today, Saturday, December 17th, I came to a branch of PNC Bank to cash a check that was drawn on their bank and was stopped in my tracks when I was informed there was a $10 fee to cash one of their checks since I was not an account holder. I asked it's the manager could waive the $10 fee as a one-time courtesy but that was also denied. This corporation must instruct their employees to not let go of any pennies.

    This is nothing but consumer extortion, in my opinion. Hasn't gotten so bad that these big corporations need to nickel-and-dime prospective customers every single penny just so they can continue to everybody else? I would understand if my own bank charge me a fee to process a third-party check but to be charged $10! $1 fee for non account holders would generate money for PNC Bank. More people need to stand up and address its abuses and challenge these bad practices.

    I've been with this bank for literally my entire financial lifetime and it has been horrible from the very beginning and has only gotten worse. I recently switched to a Virtual Wallet account and that was where the main problems started. They promote this account as a way to manage your finances from your phone and on the go, but nothing in your actual account is accurate. Transactions will pend for days with no explanation, things I have purchased may not even show up in pending at all and just magically appear a few days later after the transaction has gone through. Because of this I get overdrafted regularly, $36 each time a long pending transaction just happens to go through at the most convenient time for them.

    Right now my account is sitting at a nice -$89 even though my paycheck just went through last night. Why was I overdrafted if my direct deposit just cleared?? Because PNC likes to steal money from poor college kids. I double checked my account at midnight because I had a bill to pay. No overdraft. Paid my bills and figured that was that. Two hours later I get an email I've been hit with the fee. I double checked my statements and my bills haven't even gone through yet. So I got charged for a pending transaction that just went through...AFTER my direct deposit went in??? It makes zero sense. My holiday is basically over now because I can't afford to pick up gifts for my family, I can't afford to fill up my car, or even eat.

    This has happened so many times it's honestly ridiculous. Contacting customer service about these issues is like hitting a brick wall, they berate you for not having extra money inside accounts to protect against overdraft. That's the most entitled response I can even imagine, the solution to not getting overdrafted is having more money! How about an accurate bank app that their PNC claims to provide? How about listing all my pending transactions instead of hiding certain few? I've been told to use a passbook to keep track of my transactions on paper, but again...the online banking is what I got the virtual wallet for...so why am I being so punished for using their services? I'm at my limit with this horrible bank and will be leaving immediately.

    I first noticed what they were doing months ago. I looked online to see how much my available balance is before making a purchase. I forget the exact amounts, so these are estimates, but it was over $600. The next day I get an overdrawn account notice to my e-mail. I was upset since there was $600+ in my account, and I only made a $70 purchase. I look at my account and they put through a check that was applied to the account. It was cashed to a month and a half ago. Not only that, but the check and my purchase combined should not have overdrawn my account anyway.

    They waited to apply money I spent until they knew it would overdraw me, but in that case it still wasn't enough, so they adjusted my previous available balance in order to steal just barely enough money from me to overdraw my account. I called them, very upset, and their response was that it was impossible for their website to be wrong, and flat out refused to answer my question if they knew it would implicate them. And this isn't a one time thing, it has happened again. I will be switching banks. Don't go near these thieves.

    We live in a small mountain town. We followed PNC when they bought RBC. We stayed because we like the staff in our branch. The branch didn't last long. PNC closed and did not even put in an ATM machine. We have to drive at least 1.5 hours no matter which branch we visit. Every time I have contacted PNC over the phone concerning a problem I have received no satisfaction and terrible service. There is no sense in complaining to the bank, they will close the account, they will defend employee error regardless. One branch told me that I could not deposit a check into my business account as our customer made the check out to me instead of the business. This was so ridiculous and erroneous and ignorant on the part of the teller. This same teller demonstrated blatant racial discrimination to the customer in front of me. It was embarrassing for me so I can imagine it was even more so for the person discriminated against.

    It is true that one cannot deposit a business check into a personal account but depositing a personal check into one's business account is completely fine. Plus, it was very simple to check us out. We have 4 credit cards, 4 debit cards, 2 checking accounts, 1 savings account, 1 Equity Line Account and 1 OverDraft Protection Account. We had Driver's Licenses, Passports; we could provide security information, it was unbelievable. We had driven 45 minutes one way to deposit checks. We had to take another 45 minute drive to get to our branch and then 30 minutes home. Credit Card issues are never resolved in a courteous, business-like or timely fashion. Their fees are outrageous.

    I am slowly moving my business towards other credit card companies. I am going to use Square for credit card payments from my customers. If you are not already involved with PNC don't take them on as your financial institution. I could go on and on about unsatisfactory PNC service is but I simply don't have time to write it all out.

    I have a Home Equity Loan with PNC Bank. We made our payment at the Branch 10 days before the due date and instead of applying it to the loan they tried to auto deduct from a checking account that was closed out 3 years ago. Hence they raised our interest rate 1/4% because they never took off the auto deduct. It took a manager over a week to get back to me with an answer that for a loan I had 7 years without missing a payment no longer qualifies for the Promo. DO NOT deal with this Bank. They have no idea what customer service stands for and are unqualified employees who were not giving the rules and guidelines of general accounting practices.

    My email got hacked by a PNC customer. He cc himself on one of my emails. I was doing a contract with an engineer and he requested the down payment to be deposit on his account (the hacker) but the name was my engineers name so I thought it was him. I went to the bank made the deposit for $2,500 to the account he sent me. The teller didn't even bother checking the name on account (which it was different from the one I wrote on deposit slip). She just took the money. Later on I called to see if my engineer got the deposit and he said he didn't send me that email. It was the person with PNC bank account in Baltimore (we are in Jersey). I went back to the bank told them what happen and they don't want to give me my money back.

    I filed a police report and print out all the emails (by the way my email is been blocked since that day). The lost dept told the call the client and he said he was going to deposit a ck so they can give me my money back, but the lady Gail ** from PNC lost dept said they are not giving me my money back, that their client has to get in touch with me personally, but they not giving his number. So it was PNC's fault for not verifying the name on account when I made deposit like other banks do.

    They are stealing my money and if I don't get it back I'm going to file lawsuit against them. It's not fair they letting this criminal walk away so he keeps scamming other people. They have been proven to be cheaters and scammers and they stole my money. We all need to email the Consumer Federal Protection Bureau and file a class action suit. I am not sure if the Federal trade commission has anything to do with it or not. I suggest we all file and I have also file with the OCC and told them I am tired of the collusion and corrupt government practices. PNC is insured, so instead of giving small amount I will file criminal charges. If anyone supports the CFPB action, please comment.

    I give them 2 stars because 1 the amount of banks branches and atm's is a plus... However I usually never get overdraft coverage because of getting burnt in the past (before the national class action suit against big banks and the fraudulent practice) anyway. If I used my PNC card it was taking out that day... However about 1 month ago I just went and opted for the OD coverage and noticed somehow what use to come out the same day (work lunch) now lingers for a day or 2 in pending status... and when it would finally come out I get hit with a 36 fee for a $5 lunch... You call them and they tell you some bs about pending blah blah... Sounds good but I'm not an idiot... How come before I had coverage it was taken right out. Now it's not. They want you to rely on the banking app... (because in the 21st century let's face it not many want to do the pen and paper).

    The app is a diff amount than the online, which is diff than the atm ledger balance, and all usually different than your paper total. I feel like they do that on purpose to catch people. It's not hard at all to sync these accounts to give you a correct balance. Any who if someone can just please explain why with no coverage my money was taken right out and my total was usually right the following morning vs the overdraft coverage where I have 2 wait 2 days for things to clear and they blame it on when the company processed their business especially when it's the same business both times. I'll be looking for a new bank. If I can't trust you with my money then I can't trust you for my business.

    Really interested in seeing these 1 star reviews. In short an ATM machine at a local branch outside Philadelphia stole over $300 of my money. Got barely any response from the people on the phone when I first called, and they kept bouncing me around via phone until finally they credited my account with the money lost. With a "provision credit" and a "dispute pending". I show up two days later (today) to discuss what happened and it's like they barely wanted to say anything. They "don't work with ATM machine". What the bloody ** are you talking about?

    It's really a shame looking into this bank on this website now, after having an account with them for years. It seems they're in a really sad state of affairs and I'm cautious about continuing service with them. Seriously, the big man in the suit was breathing down my neck today like he didn't have time to talk to me and I just don't appreciate it. What the ** is wrong with you people, the machine obviously ate my ** money. It's unbelievable. These banks are run and owned by money-hungry non-humans. They're preying on us, pretty simple to see. It's unbelievable how untrustworthy they are. He says I've got "nothing to worry about". OK. Well, obviously I do if my account says "dispute pending". What if they decide I was lying and take the credit away that they put there? Makes me cringe.

    My wife and I were customers of PNC bank since it was called Flagstar. We each had checking accounts. We complained about the branch manager located Holcomb Bridge and Grimes Bridge in Roswell Georgia because she and her staff would refer customers, including ourselves, to other branches on Mansell Road and Crossville Road contending they were too busy. This was their response for service in the bank or at the drive-through window. The branch manager there also refused to decorate this bank for any holiday, including Christmas, because she indicated she did not believe in such celebrations. She also allowed an English as a Second Language school to use the PNC parking lot for their students impacting PNC customers.

    When we complained about her to the regional branch manager, he and other bank management retaliated and closed our respective accounts, informing me, instead of my wife, about her account (which is very chauvinistic). They indicated that this was their prerogative and that they were not accountable to the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Controller of the Currency, or any other regulatory agency. They are the worst.

    I live in Fredericksburg VA. Never go to the Southpoint PNC bank or any PNC bank. First someone got my debit card and was having a joy. I called as soon as I saw the fraud charges got a new card and had my money returned. Then if fraud or typing error I don't care someone had my whole account # and made checks with a totally different bank. I immediately went to the Southpoint branch closed that account and opened a new one. Ever since then I have had nothing but issues. First the manager assured me the PNC loan I have would be transferred to the new account. That was never done. Then for some reason the loan was taking money out of the supposedly closed account. So long story short I have $134 removed from my open account to make up for all the over draft fees to a closed account.

    I called and spoke to Sheena in the escalate department on Tuesday. She assured me everything would be refunded by Wednesday. Here I am on Thursday not hearing back from Sheena. I call again and speak to someone new and she informs me there is no note on my account that Sheena ever did any request with my refund. So yet again I have to wait till I get my money back.

    First, they fraudulently put my business address/building on my home equity loan because, I assume, I own it free and clear. They were eager to lend me money on that building, but I caught this at closing, and had them put in the correct home address. They then had the nerve after they had initially approved my loan to then deny me the home equity loan! None of the information was different, but they wanted my commercial business building and tried the old "bait and switch" tactic. When I complained about this in writing, they just ignored the complaint.

    Now, I just discovered another unethical practice they use to bilk their customers. I keep track of my balance every time I put money in PNC and immediately replenish money if I think there is even a remote chance that any of my checks will bounce. But, I have an overdraft protection line of credit that is directly connected to my checking account at a whopping 19% interest, so I am very careful about keeping the checking account solvent. Imagine my shock and ire when I got a $36 fee for exceeding the $500 limit in my overdraft protection. Then, I got a letter that I owed $256 on my overdraft.

    When I went to talk to the manager at the Camp Hill, PA branch she informed me that I owed over $500 in overdraft. Evidently they pick overnight when the checks clear, and NOT INFORMING THE CUSTOMER, they then keep crossing my checks in the middle of night and thus charging more fees and interest. Even though my checking account showed a healthy balance, they were secretly using the account to get their fees and almost usurious interest rate for a month without my knowing about it. Quite ingenious way they fleece the public. I immediately paid off the overdraft "protection" account with cash, and they dropped the $36 as a "courtesy" but when I requested a mere $500 increase in the overdraft protection amount to stave off another of these travesties, the lousy bank denied my so called "loan" request!!!

    I asked the man what interest rate I was getting and at what levels, on my Premiere Mny Mkt acct. He responded that it was.75 % with a balance over 50,000. Then I checked my statement and it was only.13%. Upset, I checked the details online to find that I would need to add a direct deposit (regularly occurring) like with my Mutual Fund IRA withdrawal totaling more than $5,000, apparently. This was unprofessional of him not to point that out to me, and I look very suspiciously now on the viability of keeping them as my bank for keeping my cash central accounts. This was the Randall Rd.

    I must admit, I'm chuckling at the greed and stupidity of PNC. Let me share my experience. I lost my debit card and immediately reported it so that no fraud would occur and so I could order another. PNC did just that along with charging a $7.50 replacement card fee. Let's step back in consider the customer unfriendly action: 1. I reported the card to avoid fraud. Had I not done so, thousands of dollars of costs could have been incurred by PNC since in Maryland we are only liable for the first $50. It would seem my reward for being responsible was a $7.50 fee. 2. I have two accounts and two mortgages with PNC. Last year I paid btw $35,000 & $40,000 in interest to PNC. Moreover, I don't bounce checks, make late payment and do not even use the tellers but do all of my transactions electronically or through ATMS. It's probably safe to say PNC makes close to $50K per year from my business.

    NOT ANYMORE: When I saw the fee and got the push back from PNC, I reached out to a mortgage company who is happy to refi my loans, actually at a lower rate. Moreover, the bad will I will put forth will certainly cost them future and perhaps current customers. To PNC I say... enjoy the $7.50. Um $7.50 vs $50K vs good will... I'd sell my stock if you have any.

    I have used PNC Bank since the fall of National City Bank. From that time PNC has been nothing but a headache. Dealing with PNC Bank takes forever and as a customer I received different answers on questions depending on the branch or person I spoke to. My banking with PNC did consist of a business checking account, business savings account, business credit card account, and two business mortgage accounts. On the person side with PNC I had two checking accounts and a savings account. My kids also both had checking accounts with PNC.

    My first house mortgage with the business was a terrible experience. The person working with me directly made promises she did not fulfill, timelines that were nowhere near what she promised, and lost documents more than twice which left me unsatisfied and when I mentioned these problems I was apologized to and moved on. After the first business mortgage I assumed I had a single bad experience and decided to give PNC a try for the second time. I assumed this would be an easy transaction since all my other accounts were there and switching banks would be a huge undertaking. To my surprise I received the same treatment. Following that problem I went to a PNC branch and spoke with a lady who was more than accommodating. She did the best she could do to put PNC in a positive light with respect to what happened and even convinced me to open a business credit card account.

    As result of her doing so well with helping me out I did open a business credit account which I was very pleased with for only a couple of months. One day when I went to use my business credit card at a store for supplies the card was declined. I knew the card was nowhere near maxed out and the declination must be the result of a security feature, which was not a problem at the time. I was actually somewhat pleased and assumed PNC was watching out for me. Therefore I called the number on the back of the card and spoke to someone who said my credit card number had been stolen and the card had been maxed out. At this point I assumed there was still not a problem and PNC would simply fix the mistake. Then I was told PNC could not immediately fix the problem and it would take a couple of weeks. At this point I was inconvenienced but still not the end of the world; I paid for my materials and moved on with life.

    I continued to check on the status of the card and each time I called the credit department I was given different answers. Finally when someone would answer my questions as to when the card account would be corrected I was again told a couple of weeks. Then when I asked how the card number was stolen I was told the bank did not know. I was also told the card number is supposed to be unhackable as a result of a double account number. Which meant nothing to me not being a banker but assumed it was for my own good.

    I called back a period of time later to again check on the account. I spoke to a different person and asked how the account number was taken and used. The person on the phone told me they did not know, their security team was looking into the problem and they suspected someone on the inside of taking the account number.

    Nonetheless the problem was resolved and life continued on and the account was reactivated. I used the account for purchases over the next month and checked the card online. After I used the card the balances were not showing up on the account side of the card to make a payment. I called the branch; they told me there was nothing they could do about the charges not showing up on the account. I let a week or so go by and still the charges were not showing up on the account and I had been told every excuse you can think of as to why. It was everyone’s fault by PNC’s. Finally, I called the number on the back of the card and explained again PNC was not charging me for items I was purchasing so I stopped using the card and the money was kept aside in an account.

    Next, two months later I got a notice my card was over the limit and I was being charged overage charges and fees. At this point I lost my mind. Called PNC, explained the situation and I’m assuming they did not believe me nor did they have my recorded calls of me telling them they were not charging me for items I was buying. I called and offered to pay to close the card and the account, explained the security issues and asked they remove the interest and the fees they put on the account. PNC refused to do any of this even after explaining the problem several times. They simply did not care, it was their fault. I would absolutely agree if I were the one that screwed up.

    Further, the debit cards. I use my debit card several times a day; often to buy fuel. For an unknown reason gas pumps do not care for worn out cards therefore I go through about three to four debit cards a year. With my work schedule and finding a PNC Bank going into the branch to request a debit card was difficult. I was never in the right place at the right time. I called the branch I attended when I could explained why I was having a hard time making it to the branch and asked if they could mail me a card. I was told several times no.

    My wife (who shares all the same accounts as I do) called the number on the back of the card, asked for a card and the thing was in the mail in no time. Then after an argument between us, me accusing her of lying for being able to call the number on the back of the card to replace the card and her accusing me of the same for saying she would never get a card without going to the branch I called the number and got a new card mailed to me in no time.

    Next issue. My son had a checking account that was linked to ours; I believe it’s called a virtual wallet so my wife could teach him paying bills etc. To my knowledge this account went smooth. However, three years later when we attempted to get the same account for my daughter my wife was told my daughter could not have a checking account because she was under 18. This sounded crazy and we knew she could have an account it’s advertised online. My wife went to another branch and set the account up no problem.

    Finally, for a third mortgage. Now having even more accounts with PNC and keeping my fingers crossed I was going to cross this bridge again; dumb move. Here is how it went. I was requesting a $27,000.00 preapproval letter to buy an income property. I called the number for the mortgage section from online because from the last two experiences I did not want to deal with a branch. I scanned and set over all the information the lady requested. The second day I told her I wanted to add my business income to the figures, she said "no your income will cover what you need to do, everything looks good."

    Next day, I get a call back asking for the property address of my business. No problem I supplied the addresses and all the financial information that goes with those. Three days later she called me back and advised houses that I own free and clear I could not use because I have not owned them for more than two years, therefore that could not be configured in the numbers and she asked me for a statement from a retirement account. No problem I sent over a statement advising I had approximately 25,000.00 in it. I was only requesting a total of 27,000.00 and did not intend on taking from the 25,000.00, on top of that the property I wanted the money to buy had a much higher value than 27,000.00 which was more than I was going to have to pay.

    PNC called me back and told me they were declining my loan, but my credit score was excellent which did not make any sense to me but ok. I was referred to another financial institution by a friend and told to give this guy a call. I explained the situation to the new guy. He said doesn’t sound like a problem at all and this time I requested 70,000.00 to buy houses. He requested I email over my previous years taxes via a secure email, which PNC does not have. Probably why the business credit account was hacked and asked I complete a couple questions on an application.

    For this transaction it is important to note, I have NEVER been to the bank before, never called, have not received junk mail, I did not even know they existed. The guy called me back 2.5 hours later and asked me when and how I wanted my money. I was blown away. That is service. With that being said no matter what it takes I’m switching all the accounts from PNC to the new bank. Someone that wants and appreciates my business as I do for my customers.

    I called up their Irvine, CA office and was promised 2.75% rate fixed for 9 years with no closing costs. Too good to be true as I was suspicious with the loan officer and trying to be positive and thinking because I've been with this company from the very beginning and also refinanced 6 years ago for 15 years with the same company. I just went ahead and waited 2 months before I was told that my rate would be 3.675% and with $2,000 closing costs which is horrible because I have a very clean loan (never took money out from my mortgage) with very good credit score. And why the hell would I go ahead with it when I only have 9 years more to pay it off!

    These loan officers just wanted some money from me and thinking I'm just stupid to listen to their lies and jokes! To make the story short I didn't continue with the loan and I really wanted to see a lawyer and sue them for damages for all the troubles that I went through trying to comply with all their requirements. I would never recommend anyone to PNC Bank!!

    PNC needs to stick to their policy they provide for their customers. I have been a member for quite some time and NEVER had an issue when I use my debit card during the week after hours and on the weekend. All of a sudden now there is a cut off time on Friday that extends until Monday morning for when you use your debit card and it's not calculated until Monday Morning. I never had an issue with this before and their fees are ridiculous. $36.00 for a NSF fee and $36.00 for return check fee and $7.00 a day for a late fee charge. If you have money in your reserve and let's say not enough to cover a ACH they will stop the check charge you a $36.00 return check fee and a $36.00 NSF fee, will not pull money from your Main account to cover it and then continue to charge you $7.00 per day on top of all of that.

    Now if the same thing happens in your main account, they will cover the ACH amount (even though you will be in negative for the ACH amount) charge you whatever the amount is for the ACH PLUS the $72.00 which is $36 twice along with the $7.00 per day until it's paid. PNC is ripping the middle class hard workers off! I had fraudulent activity on my "joint" account with an associate of mine so I took them off of my account closed the account and opened a new account. PNC then eventually reopened that account without my knowledge because of the ACH and then closed this account again within about 13 days. I was advised all was well and done and that my name was not on any other accounts with this associate.

    Well the associate had their own account and I was listed for minor services as in the event something happened in death etc, well their account became negative and per PNC customer service once an account is in the negative after 14 days it closes out (SUPPOSEDLY). Well PNC tracked my account down where I'm listed alone and took $500.00 from my account to pay this negative balance in this associate's account without my knowledge (this associate's account has been negative for 26 days) now my account is negative due to the transactions I made which should have cleared because I had more than enough money to cover it before this $1,000 hold on my account to cover a $500.00 debt from someone else's account that I was listed on. Not to mention, I COULDN'T EVEN ACCESS MY ACCOUNT FOR 3 DAYS!!! Now I would understand if the account was from an outside bank but it's PNC to PNC.

    It's sad they have to collect money like this from individuals. I plan on posting this on social media and getting the news involved. This site has 699 700 complaints, including mine, on the unfair treatment to their dedicated customers. The kicker is that associate's Reserve account was negative and they just took over $70.00 from my Reserve account to pay that balance so the balance was $-1.56. The associate went to pay this balance today 09/29/2016 and their account is now clear. They left the bank but went back to make sure the account was CLOSED OUT! Now the PNC representative states they need to wait until tomorrow 09/30/2016 until the CASH payment of $1.56 that was given has posted to the account. Since when has a cash deposit NOT been available to you on the same day you deposit the money into an account - NEVER! It's just ridiculous and a complete RIP OFF.

    Then you have EVERY LAST customer service agent telling you different information when you call in. I can call and hang up just to keep calling back and all 20 people will tell you something different. Nothing is in order and there is NO structure, no mandatory guidelines and everything seems to change on a daily basis, just to pacify the customer with a complaint. The only ones affected are us, the consumers that put tons of money into this raggedy piece of a bank called PNC BANK!!! I wonder what Robert Q Reilly, the CFO of PNC Bank, thinks of all of this...or has he turned a blind eye to how his low level employees treat the hard-working customers who keep the bank afloat! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!

    I did an online chat telling the agent I had been charged twice by my cell phone carrier and the carrier told me I had to notify my bank. He reviewed my account and saw the 2 charges. I asked what could be done and he explained, all in writing that if I filed a fraud charge my card would be closed. I told him, "no, I do not want to do that as it would leave me with no access to my money." I bank online with Virtual Wallet. There is no branch near me, just ATMs in CVS and Harris Teeter. He said he understands and that he could fill it out since it wasn't fraud and was just a double charge. He then said he had completed and I could possibly get paperwork in the mail. I thanked him.

    To my utter surprise I went to use my debit card the next day and it was declined 3 times. I called the number on the back, was sent to a branch who said she could not help me. She told me to call again. I did. I was told after a long wait that my card was suspended and they could mail me another in 5-8 days. I said that was not acceptable as I had no way to access my money and no way to get gas, food etc for me and my son. I told the lady I specifically told the man yesterday I did not want to file anything if my card got canceled that I would need to go get money first. He assured me him filing it would not affect my card. So he flat out lied. She said he did not cancel card, their fraud department did. Passing blame around not caring the huge impact they had by not allowing me access to my funds. They said they cannot undo a Fraud alert. We all know it is a punch of a button.

    In this day with computers, they very well can reactivate a card in a split second. Especially when it was their error. But they refused to. Also, should they not have verified by a telephone call to me before canceling my one and only means of access to MY money? Just all around a failure of customer service. They care no one bit about customers and I will close my account as soon as I get my new card. Until then, a bank is holding my money without my consent. No wonder everyone hates big banks.

Told loan officer to forget the loan, just send me a copy of my appraisal. She argued with me that it was a good deal. But only for the bank. If I increased my payment of my current mortgage to the same amount as interest and principal amount at the new rate of 3.675%, I would pay off the current mortgage within 6 months as the proposed new loan after rate increase.

    I have been a customer with PNC since shortly after turning 18 in 2007. I am now 27. Last week I attempted to deposit two checks totaling $4000 into my PNC personal checking account from my Primerica mutual fund UTMA account that my parents had set up for me when I was 16. I had found some kitchen cabinets second hand online, and I decided to use some of the money from my mutual funds to purchase them. The following day, I checked my account balance online and saw that they were rejected. I waited until end of business to see if it was a mistake, and then I called PNC customer service the following day. I was told by the PNC customer service representative that the checks were rejected because the check was from a custodial account. They also said that a legal copy was in the mail, and I would receive it in 3-5 business days. So I waited, and I did not receive the copies in the allotted time.

    So yesterday I went to the branch where the deposit was made to see if I could move things along. The representative took down my information and said he would call back the following day to see if he could get it approved. He called back, and I got the same line about the custodial account, so I called customer service again. I explained to them that it was an UTMA established in my name (which was clearly listed on the check) and that although my father was the named custodian on the check, because I am older than 21 and because of the nature of UTMA accounts in Pennsylvania, I am in fact the legal custodian. I also explained that I have deposited checks from the same source written out in the same way to my PNC account without issue. After talking to 2 more customer service representatives PLUS the retail escalation manager, all I got was the same line about custodial accounts.

    I asked why they accepted the checks in the past, and I was told (paraphrasing) that PNC can change the terms of the service at any time so I can just deal with it. Also, despite being told on Friday that the checks had been mailed, I found out later that they weren't mailed until Tuesday. They blamed the holiday weekend, but the checks were rejected on Thursday. Friday wasn't a holiday for them. Couldn't they have mailed them Friday? Normally, I would just suck up my beating from PNC and move on with my life, but I placed a deposit on the kitchen cabinets that I was going to buy so the guy would hold them for me until this coming Saturday while I get the money to clear. Now I'm worried that I may lose my deposit all because PNC's policy is to apparently do whatever they want whenever they want.

    Additionally, last December I deposited two checks from friends of mine into my checking account, and then I placed three currency exchange request for the amount on the checks they gave me plus money that I had just transferred into my checking account. A week later I received a letter that they "forgave" me for over-drafting my account. Apparently, the currency transaction executes in the PNC system immediately even though deposits only go through at the end of business. I didn't actually receive the foreign currency from PNC for close to a week, but in their system it was already a withdrawal.

    I guess my issue is that PNC makes PNC policies. A company that cared about their customers might alter their policies or bend them if they placed undue hardship on the customer. After all, they are the ones making the rules. Not at PNC. At PNC, the rules are the rules even if it causes hardship for the customer and there's no legal requirement for them to follow the rule.

Instead I went to another local branch. The manager was kind enough to try and reach someone in business banking for me but he said no one was in, even though it was the middle of a weekday. The manager took my number to have someone contact me, which they finally did the following week.

    Overall, my experience with PNC was completely terrible. I was charged an overdraft fee 3 hours before my direct deposit was in my account. I went to see what they could do about it and they said they cannot help me. This incident along with others made me want to take my business elsewhere. I closed my checking account on the 10th of June and I also tried to close the account for the prepaid credit card I had with them as well. Shanice **, a worker at the Forest Park location informed me that my credit card account has already been closed with $60 still on it that will be mailed out to me within two weeks. Surprise, surprise the check did not come! As a matter of fact I received letters from a credit collection service months later stating I owe $390.95 to PNC bank for the credit card.

    I go back into the bank on Sept. 7th, 2016 to find out what is going on and once again there's "nothing they can do." They couldn't even tell me when the account was closed for the credit card FROM THEIR OWN COMPANY!! I had to find out from the credit collector that my account was not closed before the 10th of June like I was originally told by Shanice ** in the Forest Park branch ran by Tiffany **. It didn't seem much of a problem for them that my credit is being messed up over information I was given by ** employees at the Forest Park branch. I don't understand why they have people working there to assist you if they don't know what's going on. They said it would be 7-10 days before I would hear anything from them on my account information.

    You'll continue to see more and more reviews until this problem is solved but by the looks of the ratings PNC already has, it seems as if they do not care about their customers problems.

    Now, let me just say, I don't write reviews often but I've had it up to here with these "banks". I've had PNC Bank since they are RBC, the Royal Bank of Canada. I went through their PNC Hostile takeover of RBC for years now, but that was a terrible experience that left thousands of people trying to recoup their money and there wasn't enough to go around. I waited weeks for the remaining money in my accounts. After about a year I decided to give them another try. They were a new bank right? What could it hurt. Hardly had any issues at all, that was almost 5 years ago. All of a sudden I got issued new debit cards with these "chip enhancements" or whatever they are. I get paid on a regular basis. I've been working for the same Bible and Christian Book Manufacturer since 2010.

    Now they have us relocating so I am in the middle of moving myself my entire household, driving two U-Haul trucks, my car, and a rental car. So last night we were driving back from one trip with one left to go and I was asked to renew my rental car again since I had it for 5 days. No problem. Deposited 1,350 cash. Transferred the balance to my credit card account. So I can see the balance as soon as it's posted. Made the transfer from reserve account to checking after the teller deposited cash.

    Then I drive in Labor day traffic with kids in tow to renew the rental car before we all make our final trip to Florida. Card is declined at Sixt to my surprise, so I telephoned PNC customer service and they said that everything was showing normal, then she went to dispute the fact that the teller deposited cash and made a single transfer while placing me on hold for over 15 minutes and transferred me again to account retention. Account retention? My confusion was apparent. They proceeded to tell me my accounts were closed. "What?" She said "I believe I made myself clear." She proceeded to read me something about PNC reserves the right to close accounts at any time. Etc.

    I said "ma'am you do understand I've had these accounts for almost a decade?" She said "yes, I can see that here." I said "okay are you closing my business accounts?" She said "no of course not." I said "I just deposited $1350 in cash, and in the 19 minutes it took to drive here you closed my accounts?" She said "yes." I said "so you can see that I have regular car accident settlement payments going to this account? One is for $3,000 due on the 5th of each month?" She said "yes they'll mail you the balance within 30 days, have a great day. Thanks for choosing PNC." So what makes a bank strand a person in the middle of a interstate move at a rental car facility with children, animals in tow, U-Hauls rented, new utility payments pending, while swallowing that person's pay, car accident settlement payments, and child support payment? For 30 days without a single explanation?

    Even the branch manager of the bank I made the deposit at was horrified. She had tears in her eyes while she told me she was sorry and she even tried to get my deposit back since it was only an hour later, but the person that handles it was gone for the day. The branch is amazing. I've banked there for years and they know me very well, and my kids by first name. I've made two late payments in my life while getting divorced 6 years ago but not since. This isn't a bank, it's a throw all your bills in the air and roll in them kind of place.

Then she failed to mention some fees that were associated with being overdrawn, in my case it was an accident. No bank that I have ever dealt with has a overdraft policy of $36 PLUS $7 a day. By the time I realized I was overdrawn it was $300. Although I cleared everything up with Clara, the assistant manager at the Aventura branch, possibly the only person with a brain there. Then all of a sudden I was being charged for the account when I'm suppose to have free checking when you have over 2.5k in income.

    Clara fixed that as well but it was very frustrating to continue to go through issues. Then all of a sudden on the day I got paid, my debit card stopped working. I called Clara - at that time is when I found out PNC decided to close my account. I had to drive an hour to get access to my money and then go 2 days later and do the same. Now today I have another problem with PNC and I don't even bank with them. They are horrible. They have no consideration.

    I opened this account for my daughter who is now in her first year in college. PNC has a presence where she is so I thought it would make sense to have her account with PNC. I opened the account in a local branch and the woman was really nice and helpful - it was actually an impressive initial experience. But I think the behind the scenes support that this bank has is really confused. Most recently there has been a problem transferring money into her account from another account that I have.

    I went through the online process for adding that account as one from which I can make transfers and validated as the instructions required and even received the message saying validation was complete and all of that, but I am unable to make transfers. In fact, I withdrew the money from the other account and that account shows the withdrawal and the transfer has been completed, but the PNC account does not show a credit for that money. It has just disappeared. There are other oddities about the PNC accounts and the associated credit cards I won't get into (I have a $16 balance on one card but there is no activity history that shows online to support that balance) but I wish I had set this up with Wells Fargo like I did for my son when he left for college 4 years ago.

    I've been a PNC customer for about 4 years now. Never had an issue before switching to the virtual wallet. I will admit this is partially my fault, but I digress. I was setting up my bill pay for 2 Payees. I went to the online banking and went to the Bill Pay option, added my payees. Then proceeded to setup the automated payments from PNC to those Merchants. I was setting up the automatic payments and the first thing you do is select the acct for the funds to come from. I did not realize that the Reserve acct with the virtual wallet would pull to this list because I guess I missed the memo that the Reserve is a checking acct even though it shows as a short term savings. I thought the list displayed in order and selected the wrong acct by accident. So what I thought I selected (Spend Acct) ended up being the Reserve acct.

    You cannot see which acct you are selecting. They all show as "Interest Checking **" and last 4 of the acct, my fault. I should have known the numbers better and not relied on the order in which they display. The Virtual Wallet Spend acct displays first in all areas but not in the selection for automatic bill pay. I feel PNC should make some changes to this and show a fuller description of what acct you are actually selecting. Second, when I set this bill pay up, the amount to be paid was over $500, the reserve acct had a $10 balance at the time.

    I wish or feel there should be a alert or a warning that addresses you prior to confirming and setting the automated payments that the amount you have set to pay is greater than the funds in the acct you have selected. "You have selected a acct with funds less that your automated billed amount. Is this correct? or would you like to continue?" Kind of like a final "Are you sure, because if not it's going to overdraw your acct if there is no plan in place to add funds to this acct in the near future!" A preventative measure for accts to get over drawn from the front end. I would have caught this mistake right then. But I didnt because everything setup without a glitch. So both payments pulled from the Reserve acct overdrawing the reserve by $800.

    I called PNC as soon as I saw this on saturday which is when everything was in a pending status. PNC was not able to cancel the payments because they were already posted. She did refund the $36 overdraft fees. Well then comes in this unknown third party biller, Fiserv. Fiserv is who actually pulls the funds. They pay your bills and you are basically paying them back. So unannounced to me they actually return the insufficient funds back to the acct they pull from. I had no idea this would occur. I had transferred the funds on Saturday from our checking to the reserve to cover the overdraft. So then yesterday 8/23/16 when I'm thinking none of my payees got paid and my acct is overdrawn, I sign in to see that the Reserve acct was now to a $1,000+ balance just yesterday. All the while I was thinking the girl at PNC did this! Because again, Fiserv had not entered the picture yet!

    So then I received an email from Fiserv yesterday at 4:20 pm about the issues that transpired on Saturday. Called Fiserv and spoke with a representative there, who was understanding of what happened and told me he would get the second attempt they make to pull from our checking acct AND not the Reserve acct. I asked for one of the payments to pull from our Checking acct and not the reserve. He assured me when the funds would pull again, either the next day, that it would pull from our Spend acct. Well knowing this, I transferred the amount from the Reserve BACK to the spend for what I was told would be pulled from Spend. Well that is not how it happened. Fiserv pulled from the RESERVE, resulting in ANOTHER overdraft! Because I moved the money to where I was told it would be pulling from THE SPEND ACCT.

    There are too many accts to keep up with in the virtual wallet. The bill pay is not easy or user-friendly to setup and I do consider myself a tech savy person. I could not imagine anyone (like my mother, not so tech savy) trying to set this up by themselves and not royally screwing it up. PNC doesnt know much about the bill pay setup either because it's pulled from this 3rd party. So when you call you get 2 different people telling you 2 different things. I feel PNC should know enough about this company and how they work to explain this when you are told about the bill pay option. Fiserv was never mentioned to us by PNC when we opened these accts. So when this biller sends, they are sending their own money and you are basically paying them back for the payments. They make 2 attempts to get the money.

    They try to pull the funds, which will overdraw your acct if the funds are not there. They will then repost the funds they pull, then they pull a second time all within a 48hr time span. If you are not aware of how all of this works they will be pulling the funds again before you have time to really realize what is happening. It caused mass confusion up until 8/23/16 4:20 PM because that is when I got the email from Fiserv that they pulled the funds from reverse, then put the funds back and would be pulling again!

    So all this time I was thinking my payees were not paid, when they were paid. It's hard to keep up when it's not just you, PNC bank and your payee. This has been so frustrating and is not over yet either. I ask all the right questions, but when it's something unknown and you have no idea it's not just PNC it causes major confusion. I will say this, my banker I use has been amazing the whole time and if it wasn't for him, I would be considering closing the virtual wallet accts due to all of the confusion.

    I have banked with PNC Bank for 28 years. Long story short, the bank knows who I am and also they know I am a business owner. My husband's work check also goes into my account faithfully every 2 weeks. At this point I came into a large check issued to me. I deposited it and planned to cash it out. They told me they would order the amount and it would take a week. I went back to the bank on the Friday they told me and first of all let me say... the privacy of my transaction was a joke. There was not a room to deal with the transaction... so I was taken care of in the middle of the small room of a bank for all to see. I was also told, they had to do a report and come now to find it is called a SARS report (suspicious activity report).

    Well I have never been so insulted in all my life for one. Number two... the entire bank staff knew my business as it was like a big bank meeting including all tellers. I was asked my ss number telling it to her across the room. She did not even come over to me to try to make it private. This was the woman who handled the vault and I had to return to the bank as she was not there in the morning but after 11 am. Now after 28 years of banking I am changing my financial institution to one that practices privacy and acts in a professional manner. The branch was Newton NJ branch located on Water Street. For your information my intention for MY large withdrawal is to purchase and update my vehicle cash.

    However, I don't understand the big deal of my taking my own money out of the bank. They actually made me feel like I was doing something terribly wrong. Since when should you feel like that with your own money lol. And also who's business is it what you wanna do with your own money. I could see if it was deposited in cash and then withdrawn but this was a government check. Well this incident is going to end my relationship with PNC Bank. After 28 years I am suspicious??? Wth.

    This Bank IS THE WORST financial institution in the world. I helped my mom apply for a hardship load back in 2014 due to her disability so she could keep her home. It was a very long process and took about 6 months to complete. I had a lot of patience and understood the security issues while going thru the process. During that time, I was the POA of all financial and medical decisions. To make a long story short, the hardship loan went thru and that time my mom struggled in and out of nursing homes and hospitals. She finally couldn't hold on, and passed away on Nov 4, 2015. Prior to her death, she requested in the event something happened to her to get a lawyer and have the house transferred in my name and other 2 brothers. The house loan was set up thru PNC Bank and two day prior to selling the house I requested a final payoff.

    Now the house was in my name and other 2 brothers and there was no estate. My mom had nothing and living below poverty standards. IN Michigan if there is no estate you don't have to file anything with probate. (Something that PNC doesn't understand). The house was finally sold and it came to my attention we over paid $46.21. I contacted PNC over 20 times trying to get the refund. Faxing, calling, and being transferred over and over til I was blue in the face... Every time I called I was told to do the same as I already done before. I had to explain I set up the hardship and then they looked back and found it and the check would be issued in my name. PNC sent the check to the property of the new owner. I continued to call over and over. It is now August 2016, after last night phone call to PNC I gave up. What a bunch of total idiots they have working for them. These people went to school and have degrees of STUPIDITY.

    How in the hell does this operation work. It has been so long now the account has been archived. Here's one for all the people at PNC, why not contact the title company and issue the refund back to them since it was handle thru them, since you won't talk to me. I WAS the POA and personal representative of all my mother's affairs and THIS IS THE LAST FINAL THING TO COMPLETE and basically told to fly a KITE. SO the $46.21 is lost, and I gave up. I'm not wasting any more time with these CLOWNS. DON'T USE THIS BANK. TAKE THE $46.21 AND CHOKE ON IT.

    I've been a Virtual Wallet customer for over a year. My company has been directly depositing my paychecks into my Reserve account over this time, which is supposed to waive any fees for my account. However, I noticed fees being charged for the past two months. When I called about the fees, they refunded me the latest months fee hassle-free, but said I had to change the direct deposit to my Spend account to get the other month's fee returned. My next paycheck got directly deposited into my Spend account so I called PNC to get the the refund as promised. PNC then refused to refund my fee. Where's your integrity PNC? I did my part now hold up your end of the deal. Fortunately for me, PNC is not the only bank account I have and it's easy for me to switch. Don't let this happen to you.

    This bank sucks. My wife and I took out a home equity line of credit with them. We paid for something that was roughly $200. The bank double charged us and took out $400. Fine, mistakes happen, right? I called them and told them about the double charge. The girl on the phone acknowledged the mistake and told me that in 2 days the money would be back into the account. 2 days pass, the money still isn't in our account. I called them back and spoke to a different person. This person told me that it takes up to 5 business days and not 2 as the previous rep had told me. I wait until day 5 which was today and again there is no refund. I called them for the 3rd time and spoke to a someone about the whole thing. This rep told me it takes 7 days and not 5. Needless to say I reamed this guy out big time. No one knows any of the rules at this bank and they all give false information. We will be cancelling our account as soon as possible.

    Someone hacked my debit card and on-line checking account. CSRs are completely indifferent and extremely ineffectual. There is no security department you can speak to (kind of blew my mind because most banks are extremely aware of security these days) and you are reduced to speaking with highly ineffectual, totally disinterested CSRs who do nothing, solve nothing and care about nothing. Oh, but they can 'dispute' the charges AFTER (always AFTER your money is removed from your account as they have no security in place to stop this anyone from stealing your money even though you have report that the account has been compromised).

    Isn't that special. There is no telling if you will win the dispute or if you will ever see your money again but they do tell you that once the fraudulent charges post, you can dispute them. No security department, no warm & fuzzies, you may not speak to a supervisor no matter how many times you ask for one, the CSRs do not give you their last names or any identifying information and you have absolutely no recourse. If you are stupid enough to open an account at PNC, I guess they feel you get what you deserve.

    We have been with PNC bank for over 50 years. We were advised by our financial adviser, William ** to open a Home Equity Loan through loan officer Jaclyn **. We told her we needed the loan to build a condo until our home sold. We signed the papers in Florida and faxed them back to Michigan where we live during the summer and are building the condo. At the signing we were told by the Florida manager if we closed before 36 months we would be charged a fee. Ms ** assured us the fees would be waived. Since then she has stopped working for PNC bank. At our closing we were charged the fee of $550.00 for closing early. We were forced to close the loan because of the lien the bank placed on our home. Remember this story the next time you have business with PNC. They only have their best interest at hand. This bank stole our money and I want it back. I hope Ms ** never work again.

    Everything was fine with PNC until they sent me a new debit card with a chip that is supposed to be more secure. Well, I had the card 4-5 months when someone cloned it somehow and withdrew $500 from another PNC ATM in a state I don't even live in. This has never happened to me before when I didn't have a chip card. Well, PNC won't credit me my money back until they do an investigation. They are telling me the earliest they can credit me back is 16 days AFTER I reported the incident, and could take up to 45 days. This is unacceptable. I called their customer service center and explained to them that I am a single mother and cannot afford to go almost 3 weeks missing $500 from my account. They even told me, the only way they can give me an expedited credit is if I overdraw my account... I'm sure this is so they can charge me overdraft fees on top of it. Their response was they need to have time to review the video.

    Mind you, the person who withdrew these funds did so at another PNC bank. How hard is it to pull video from their own bank??? I spoke to a couple other people I know this happened to that bank with different banks. Without fail, every one of them told me their money was refunded immediately. PNC does not care about me, my kids and being accountable for the security of the cards they hand out to their customers. I will be switching banks. Buyer beware. If you bank with PNC, and your number is stolen, you will be waiting a long time to get any credit back.

    I have been with PNC for about 6 years. Most issues I let go and just figured it was no big deal. This time though, it has ended my relationship with PNC altogether. We had a special conservatorship put in place to look at a family member's accounts while they were in the hospital (a few months). The letter from the courts had an expiration date and everything. When the letter expired, we took the dismissal paperwork from the court to the branch as directed by the branch. We were told it "shouldn't take long to unfreeze his accounts." Well, one business day, turned into 3-5 business days, 3-5 turned into TWO WEEKS! We were calling and asking what the hold up was and no one could seem to tell us ANYTHING! It was an absolute joke.

    Then after 2 weeks, they said the form we brought in from the court, signed by a judge, that said dismissed in big bold letters, "wasn't something they had seen before". We ended up having to get a lawyer involved, who in turn supplied us with another copy of the court order to dismiss the special conservatorship. We turned that into the branch and are still waiting. Their legal department as they claim is a complete joke. It's my belief they lost the original paperwork and didn't want to tell us. The ladies at the branch were beyond rude. Rolling their eyes at me and everything as if somehow we were to blame for their incompetence. I have left PNC and took my banking needs elsewhere. I will never use PNC for another single thing.

    Just got a bill from the PNC credit card. I was told I paid off per PNC employee's confirmations on 7/6/16 in Pittsburgh inside the Cranberry Township branch. I take full responsibility for ASSUMING the 5 bank tellers who crowded the computer. "Nick" the bank teller was fumbling at could all do math. I closed my checking and savings that I barely utilized anymore and applied the remaining amounts to be paid toward the remaining balance on my credit card which was (I'll round to make it easier for you PNC) ~$500. Then I asked "how much do I still owe so I can pay it off right now?" It took 5-6 different tries for Nick and 5 other bank tellers staring at the screen to get a balance that even sounded close to what I had estimated to be left...yet it still wasn't. So again I take responsibility for not just doing my own math and relying on BANK employees with their banking software to assist me, the customer to PAY THEIR INSTITUTION the correct amounts.

    Thanks PNC for reaffirming that day why banking with you was the worst choice and here after thinking I was through with you I still have to deal with your haunting bank statements. ALSO here's one last funny demonstration of your detail oriented customer service. The day I decided to close my accounts one of the bank employees asked about why I wasn't using my checking and I explained I never received my "chip" reader debit card and never used it much anyways so never bothered. This had been going on for almost a year at this point. Well after closing my accounts 2 weeks later I get a new chip reader debit card. That goes along with my closed account. Thanks!

Anyway, long story short they told her that she was not on the deed, that I was the only one on it. Either way, we are married and the collateral was the same and would have been released.

    I was told to drive to the courthouse and figure it out. So I did, an hour and half of my time was wasted to find out that the deed is a spousal deed showing I'm 50 percent owner and that she is 50 percent owner. Sounds like the way marriages work, right? Anyway, we just received a letter from them saying that the loan was denied because she wasn't on the deed and that she didn't live in the address!

I was tasked with a short notice military assignment to Korea. I was able to resolve all of my life conflicts except the ONE that required PNC Bank's cooperation. I was made aware of a Port requirement to have a letter, nothing else, just a letter from the lien holder saying that they will permit the vehicle to leave the country. I made this request in writing on 11 Jul, and I needed a letter by 22 Jul. I made the request via fax (along with requested insurance information) and military orders.

    First of all, who in the hell relies solely faxes for modern business processes. I bought a house via correspondence and without a fax machine, but PNC requires it to make a written request? Antiquated thinking is what makes companies obsolete. Either way, I found a museum with a fax machine and complied with PNCs request.

    After 2 weeks of back and forth, and FAXING additional documents to appease some bureaucrat sipping coffee behind their desk, I called (PNC didnt call me) the day before I absolutely needed this document (mind you, there are countless calls between the date I initiated the request and this day) to find out that they have no intention of sending the letter until they receive SOME document from SOME organization that has absolutely nothing to do with me or my request. It is to check their procedural boxes with no regard for how their stalling and impotence has significantly complicated my life. I needed a ** letter, which they said I would receive, but could not generate it in 11 days.

    Not to mention that I was going to pay for overnight shipping because they have never heard of email attachments, Dropbox and/or unwilling to use their own prehistoric fax method to expedite this request for a customer. Their failures means that the US Government will either have to delay sending an able bodied military member (not gonna happen) or Im going to have to find a way to move my vehicle to a Port 6 hours away from its current location.

I was negative on 2 of them. I deposited a check which can cover everything and leave a healthy balance. Well they are holding my funds because my other 2 accounts are negative. So while 8 days go by and my balance being $1950.00 but Available $00.00 I get charged crazy fees for being negative in my accounts and on top of that vendors are charging those accounts making it go deeper and deeper. After they allow the vendors to charge my account they charge me $36 for overdraft fees and $7 for being negative and $21 for being negative over 2 days. I was negative about $400 combined on both accounts and now 8 days later I'm $750.00 negative and counting.

    Then I go into a branch to be told "You have to call. We can't do much for you here." I could have saved $350 in overdraft fees and returned check if I had access to my money.

    On 7/6 (one week ago tonight), I placed an online order with Amazon.com then immediately cancelled it because I found a similar item that was much less expensive and more suitable. Amazon immediately cancelled the order and sent an authorization to PNC Bank to cancel the order and release any hold they had on my account.

    In subsequently checking on this issue, Amazon was very cooperative and gave me the verification code that was generated and given to PNC Bank when the order was cancelled. This entire sequence of events occurred within one hour of the original order being placed. That as on 7/6/2016. As of yesterday, 7/12/2016, the charge was still 'pending' on my account and the overdraft fees were piling up. This was not the normal 'hold' which is placed on an account pending the actual charge. It was as if an order had been placed and never cancelled and they had already taken the funds from my account and put it in their 'pending' queue.

    Today, the charge for the order was removed from my queue, but not before charging my account 11 overdraft fees of $36 ea. I started calling when I realized that the charges had never been cancelled on or about 7/8. At that point, I was assured that once the cancellation went through that the subsequent overdraft fees would be removed. Everyday after that I was online or on the phone trying to get this straightened out. Once a customer service representative asked me what I was so upset about. She told me not to worry about it. As soon as the charge was removed, the fees would be taken off. In the meantime, they just continued to pile up. At last count, there were 11 of them for a total of $396 PLUS the uncancelled charge remained, for a total $595.90.

    Finally, some time today the original charge was taken off the account, leaving 'only' 11 overdraft fees of $36 ea (for a total of $396). I just got off the phone with them and still they can't understand why I'm upset. After giving them yet another full explanation of the entire sequence of events, he let me know that it was after 10:00 and they couldn't do anything after 10:00 p. m (I'd been on the phone with him for over an hour-and-a-half).

    Tomorrow, with chat transcripts in hand, I am going to March into my PNC bank branch, sit down at the manager's desk and wait until he reads each and every chat remark, then remind him that customer service calls are recorded and ask him to listen to each and every call that was made in my attempt to get this straightened out. Then, when my entire $396 is refunded to me, I am going to cancel ALL accounts with the bank, including my substantial IRA account and take it to my local Credit Union, where I have already made arrangements with their investment counselor to roll it over into my new Credit Union investment account.

    PNC Bank does not value their customers. They try to convince you that their 'overdraft protection' is to benefit you but its only purpose is to take advantage of you. I transferred money from my saving account and made a cash deposit yesterday to cover the pending transactions in my account. As soon as I made the deposit at 3:50pm, I checked my online account and my account had available money. I was not overdrawn. At 3am I received 4 emails 3 stating my account had been overdrawn and I was being charged $108 in overdraft fees and 1 confirming my direct deposit amount! How could this be?! These transactions were not showing as pending on my account at all yesterday and now all of a sudden they magically appear, never bother to hit a pending state and BAM! $108 in overdraft fees! One of the transactions was for $1!

    I chatted online for 30 minutes with one of the most unsympathetic 'customer service' reps who couldn't be bothered to do anything other than send me canned replies and 'strongly urge' that I have enough money in my account to avoid this happening! He said he would file my complaint with a money manager. They would contact me in 1-2 business days.

    I went to my local branch and had a face to face conversation with a woman who spoke down to me and gave me a fake smile. I told her how I have been a member of PNC for 12+ years and I couldn't believe that PNC would fight me for a $36 overdraft fee on a $1 transaction. This $1 transaction was related to another transaction that didn't overdraft. It was a $1 for paying a bill online. Additionally, I explained that these transactions were not listed on my account ANYWHERE as pending! They just appeared! If I had seen that my account was overdrawn by $1 I would have covered it not to be charged $36! Come on!

    Also, just as these actions hit and I was charged overdraft fees my direct deposit hit as well, yet that deposit is showing as pending. Their real time online banking system is flawed and I almost believe it's done on purpose to generate these overdraft fees. That was another 30 minutes of my life wasted. She was unfazed and cold as ice. I wonder if all of the PNC employees are droids! I walked out of my local branch shaking my head in disbelieve. What's most disappointing is that PNC does not value its members. They are not customer friendly and to them there is no room for error in their eyes. They have no sympathy or empathy. They only care about the almighty dollar. Life happens. We all forget things sometimes or have oversights. Unfortunately for us PNC takes advantage of their customers being human.

    I had an account with my husband and when my son turned 15 he started working at a local business so he wanted to start an account for his paychecks. Fast forward two years. My account got overdrawn. I paid their ridiculous fees and moved on. Your charges don't show up right away and they chalk it up to gas pumps holding money but not showing, etc. then it was overdrawn a few weeks later and I refused to pay their fees again and wanted to close my account. These degenerates went and took my son's money out of his account to cover the money I owed. They claim they have rights to any money that had my name associated with it. Way to go PNC for punishing a rarity nowadays, minor child for his parents' mishaps. And punishing the fact that a 15 that actually works and does something constructive with his life. And chooses to use your bank! Needless to say my son started an account with another bank now.

    Fast forward another year or two, my daughter (she's just 14 years old) now has a job working at the local city pool and get her first paycheck that is WRITTEN from a PNC account and she takes her check in to cash it. She doesn't have or want any bank account due to the hassle she sees us deal with. Degenerate PNC in Crafton, PA charges her 10$ to cash a 119$ payroll check from what is written from the payroll account from Crafton Borough...

    I absolutely recommend that no one uses PNC SmartAccess account. I made an online transaction to renew my Insurance License on 6/24/2016. I ordered the wrong classes so I had my transaction voided. Long story short, the request was sent over to PNC from the company I made the transaction with 3 times. Twice on the same day the transaction was voided and once today on 6/27/2016. I was told to call the company back and have them resend the request to have the funds released to me. Must I add the company never even took the funds out of my account (great company, BTW)? They assured me that my transaction was cancelled and the request had been sent to PNC. They also added that they don't take funds out of the account until the end of the business day.

    PNC gave me run around after run around. First 24 hours for the funds to be placed back into my account then 1-2 business days then 7 days due to the fact that the transaction was not made through a hotel stay or car rental company. WTF. Why does it matter where the money was spent at? It was good enough for you to take it and hold it. Now I'm up ** creek because PNC is just holding my money. The company doesn't have the funds. The funds were never took out of my account. The representative I spoke with didn't even ensure that PNC received the request for the funds to be released to me. I absolutely rather receive checks than to let some big corporation hold on to my money and refuse to return it back to me, even after all the necessary steps has been made that they requested to be complete before they would hold their end of the bargain.

    They asked me to fax over the request because they had not received it. Then once I called back more days were added on to my wait and the representative did not even make sure the request was received she kept me on hold for 15 mins. I asked her if she could check to make sure the request was sent and she refused. Just too much to handle when my funds where never even took out of my account. This is absurd! I could possibly be resigned from my job because my license is not renewed due to PNC holding my money for no apparent reason. I did everything that was asked such a disappointment.

    Today I went to PNC bank to get a form with a signature guarantee. The first PNC bank did not have anyone who could do this for me. They were good about it and contacted a PNC branch in the next town. That branch had 2 people that could do this. The branch they contacted also told them to contact "corporate" PNC to ensure that the form that I needed the signature guarantee was not going to be an issue. I waited for them to contact corporate PNC and they said it was OK for the form to be signed. So they sent me to the Other PNC branch. When I arrived 5 minutes later the people in the branch knew of my issue. The original branch I went to contacted them to tell them I was coming. When I arrived with the paper work, we started all over again. The people in this branch contacted Corporate PNC again!

    This time the response from Corporate was they were not allowed to provide a Signature Guarantee. I was trying to get money out of a College savings fund (529 account). PNC told me the only Signature Guarantee on a 529 account they could provide was on a 529 with PNC bank. Are you kidding? An hour and a half, 2 PNC banks, 2 different answers to the same question? Do these people know what they are doing? The women in the 2nd PNC did not care. They were giving me the run around and the one Man a Manager at that PNC bank told me to go to CHASE bank and they would do it. Can you imagine being told to go to the competitor bank to get the service instead or your OWN bank? I even went on the PNC bank website to file a complaint and they force you to log into your account to file it and I refuse until I get my money out!

    5 Overdraft Fees 36 Dollars Each Plus 11 Of The Money I Just Owed Them. I had been charged with overdraft fees before and I told the representative to OPT me out. Meaning any charges that'll come will be declined so I won't go over. Purchased something and and I got used to checking my account over the phone to see if it was charged already and my available balance.

    Called today 1 am to check if a money I was expecting came in, instead it said I was overdrawn $191.82... I was devastated couldn't sleep no more. Went to work at 7 and called after 2 hours they can't even help me with the issue. They said a financial manager will call me on Tuesday and it's Friday today. Imagine I would have to wait and they will charge me another overdraft for the next 4 days. This is absurd. They said I should keep track of my charges and I do over the phone. It's not my fault phone service of PNC is not accurate. Not all people can use online or download apps. I like hearing it from a rep. What's the point of banking if they're not going to help you or notify you when your account is overdrawn. I am tracking it and they insist that I have to write on the paper??? What is this??? Aren't banks suppose to help us? And make sure our money is safe. This is nonsense.

Recently I get a letter said there is negative balance in my account. I called the bank to find out what is going on. They looked at and said there was $15 charge each month until no more money in my account. No letter or email to mention they are charging $15 each month. Banker told if I do not pay off the negative balance, they will continue charge me for a year and then send to collect agent. I had money there, they took all my money and I have to pay more to them to bring my balance to zero. This is like steal money from customer. What kind bank is this?

    I've been with PNC for a few years now and didn't have a single problem until recently. I didn't use my account for a year and when I came back from traveling abroad I had heard horror stories from family about PNC. My brother was really upset saying he was overcharged by $15 and never told about it. Then suddenly he was racked with overdraft fees.

    I even defended this bank, telling him I had been with them for years without issue. I just figured it was probably a mistake on his part. I got my first check and deposited it this week. I did what I always do, and make sure to be extra careful. Overdrafting is kinda a fear of mine since I work incredibly hard for little pay most of the time. I printed out my last receipt after a weekend of shopping and running errands. The account says I have $21.35 at 5:06 p.m. I go up the street and activate my phone, making sure I ask for a receipt on my purchase 5:32 p.m. I spend $15.00 exactly. I got home and used my mother's phone to check again, and I had almost $5 left like it should have been. I wake up this morning thinking I might get a 1$ soda down the street and see that my account is -$14 and some change.

    This is online banking and how it works, and how it always had worked, was whenever a transaction was pending, it automatically subtracts the amount from your spending account. So for the customer service person to tell me that it was from an earlier pending is wrong. I know it is. I checked and double-checked and have receipts to prove it. The "pending" transactions they claimed to be the culprit were hours before, and miles, and miles away. There's just no way the mistake was on my behalf. I'm going to try to get my money back but after being upset over this, I vented to my mother about it who said the same sort of thing happened to her too. I'm switching banks after this gets sorted.

    I have been with PNC for 11-12 years now, back when they were National City. I have had overdraws in the past but not many until they became PNC. Now I have them all the time. Ok, the first time it happened was I had a 150.00 bill payment coming out (for example) and then 3 smaller ones made at grocery stores. When I checked my online banking account those 3 store payments using debit were pending on my balance. So I was like, "Ok, I am going to overdraw my bill for 150.00". So when I go online the very next morning the 150.00 payment was pending and the store payments were no longer on there at all. Then after 9 am I checked and those store payments were all on there charging me 36.00 each for a total of 118.00 of overdraft fees instead of a single overdraft fee.

    I am not a rich woman. I am married and have 3 kids and we struggle to put food on the table. I do not receive assistance. So for the last 3 days I have had 10.00 in the bank according to my MOBILE APP. I went to the store yesterday and spent 3.00, so I had 7.00 and some change in the bank yesterday Monday, June 6 2016. I also had 20.00 cash on me yesterday. I went to bed around 1 am this morning and I always check my bank before bed using my mobile app. I had a 42.00 deposit I had forgot was coming so I was happy. I had a bank balance of 49.00 according to my mobile app. I wake up at 5:30 am to get kids up for school and I have a -5.00 balance on Tuesday, June 7, 2016. I was like, "What the heck". So I go to the online banking site to get a phone number and what I saw was not the same as my mobile app. It showed 3 days ago I had a -8.00 balance.

    I call the bank and I was telling her what happened. I said a couple cuss words, not towards her but like I was saying to myself "What the **" and she hung up on me. So I call the other bank and ask if I cuss it's not toward them, I was just mad and confused. So after a while she said she could not give me my money back. I said, "I had a 42.00 deposit on the same day as a 36.00 overdraw fee". So I call the 1-800 number to talk to a guy who can't give me my money back. They are thieves and this is the last time they steal from me. "I need my money" I told him or I am leaving their bank. Well guess, I am leaving. PNC bank steals and they lie and make excuses why they do it. "I am a mom with 3 kids to feed" I told him and he pretty much spat in my face.

    Closed all of my accounts including credit cards (ALL PAID IN FULL) over 7 weeks ago. I am owed a refund from 1 of my credit card. I have called multiple times, sent e-messages and was told my check was on the way. After 2 weeks called again was told that the check would be sent in 7 to 10 business days. Addition calls and messages sent and was told they had not sent the check but would do that now, I expressed that I was told this was sent multiple times and was told to hold and then informed the department I needed to speak with was not open and I needed to call back.

    Now it's another month later and they still have not issued my refund check. If the situation was reversed I would be paying multiple late fees and daily penalties. They have no right to hold my funds until they feel like they should refund my money. This would be set as a collection if I owed them. This is not only immoral but illegal. They should be held accountable as the consumer is to ensure refunds are set in a timely matter, as they require payments be sent to them by a set date. They have had these funds of mine since April this year.

    This has been an unbelievable irritation and a constant interruption in my life. I work 55 hours a week and I am a full-time student. I have spent multiple days and time being told my check was sent, not processed but will be received in 5 to 7 business days, and then again "oh we have not processed that and the office you need to speak with is closed at this time." I am done waiting for my refund. At this moment if I owed them I would owe 3 late fees @25.00 ea, and the daily interest. I have made 6 calls and sent 5 e-messages. I do not know how they are allowed to hold consumers funds for multiple weeks even months.

They refused to refund the overdraft fees. I opened the account in June 2013, and have now learned about the Overdraft Protection Act of 2013, where banks are no longer allowed to automatically enroll you in overdraft protection unless you 'opt-in' yourself. I called PNC Bank, and they told me that there was no way for them to send me the documentation where I 'opted-in' for overdraft protection because allegedly "I did it online." I told them "Then we've got a problem, and if you can't provide me with documentation WITH MY SIGNATURE ON IT where I 'opted-in' for what they loosely call 'overdraft protection', they are going to either refund me everything that they've ever charged me in the way of overdraft fees, or I will see them in court." I'm not backing down.

    Like someone else on this forum said, they figure that no one is going to take them to court over such a small amount. Well I'm definitely going to, and I'm suing for A LOT, more than they've taken from me, which in my opinion was - ILLEGALLY. And I would be willing to wager that others have filed lawsuits also. I also am not looking for PNC Bank to be around much longer. If they're so desperate that they have to become flat out THIEVES and TAKE people's money, then they're in dire financial straights.

They were not even the original Debt owner, they a probably searching for old debts they can buy on current account holders so they can just take the money, without any notice or attempt to collect.

    My name is Sean **. I received a settlement check from backgroundchecks.com in the amount of 915.95. The check was drawn off of PNC Bank. I went to the PNC Bank on 6025 Chippewa Street Saint Louis, MO 63109 to cash the check. I had gotten off work at 4:30 pm. When I got home the check was in the mail. I went to the drive thru and gave a teller my i.d. and the check. He asked if I had a checking account with the bank, I said no so he told me I had to come in. So I did. He had given the check to assistant branch manager **.

    She asked me for i.d. which she had because the teller kept it until I went in the bank and another form of i.d. so I asked her if my social security card would do and she said no because it could be copied so I asked what about my birth certificate. She proceeded to say no. She asked me if I had a gun permit for a form of i.d. I told her no, she asked did I have a debit card. I said no but I had a netspend card. I even gave her the letter that came with the check. Finally she accepted the netspend card.

    Ms ** proceeded to inform me the check was a fraud because the check did not belong to me but to someone else what a shock to hear this. She picked up the phone and called someone and before she hung up she said, "I thought so." She told me the check was valid but the check belonged to some else she never said who. She said my name was put in place of this person's name... I took it as if she was saying I forged the check. So I told her to give me the check back and she said since it was a fraudulent check she couldn't give it back to me. I was so upset how I was treated - I got up and left. When I got home about 5:30 pm I located the company who sent me the check and the person I talked to named jessica said the check was valid and it was a settlement check.

    So the next day May 17, 2016. I wake up the next morning to talk to one of the accountants at the general information services about the check. I talked to **. She also informed me the check was a valid check written out to me. She called the PNC Bank and talk to the branch manager about the check and let him know the check was valid. Still no call from the bank.

    I go to the bank and talk to the bank manager - I don't remember the name, when I walk in there was a ** women who greeted me and my wife. I told her my name and she know about the check and the branch manager was standing near her. I heard him say they are they here about the check and she said yes. So he informed us ** was coming in late and could we come back in an hour. I asked him if I could talk to him about what happened with **. I went to his office and told him, "What I am saying to you." He told us, "She was trying to protect us and the bank." I look it a different way when she said he basically took someone else's name off the check and put his name there.

    How embarrassing to me for being accused of doing something like this... so I asked him where the check and letter was and he said I am just finding out about this today and I am sure she has it in a safe place. He says she will be in an hour - could we come back and he would have her call me when she got in. So by the time we got home ** had called us. I called her back and it went to voicemail. So I called the branch manager and I was informed he was in a meeting with the boss. I hung up and 15 min later ** called back to my home. She still insisted the check didn't belong to me that it was written to someone else. I told her we can in that morning and talked to her manager about the check... I told her she needed to call ** at GIS in accounting. I take it.

    She did and 5 min later she called to say come pick up the money - she asked if I had two forms of i.d. over the phone and I said yes. I told her she owed me and apology and she said, "Yes I do." And I asked her, "So who did you talk to confirm the check was a fraud?" and she said she didn't remember the name and she had a different number than us to call. I don't know why she asked about the i.d. when she looked at it the day before. But what I don't understand is who did she talk to the day before to confirm this was a fraudulent check.

    When I went to get the money the black young lady was the only one in the bank. So I asked, "Where is everybody?" She said ** was pumping because she breastfeed her baby. How unprofessional was that. She know I was coming. So I sat for 10 min waiting for ** to come out still no **. The branch manager came out and said, "Hi guys!" and waved at me and my wife. And nothing else once again - how unprofessional so the teller had me come over to cash the check and he apologize. Why would he do that I was accused and inconvenienced by **. So the branch manager and the assistant manger never come out to apologize for the inconvenience caused by her and I still had to pay a 10.00 fee for cashing this check. Which this fee could have been waived for the causing me stress and calling me a fraudulent writer of checks. I have never been so humiliated in my whole life than on May 16, 2016 in your saint louis PNC Bank.

    I paid a bill online and submitted the payment with the decimal in the wrong spot. The payment was for 33,000 instead of 3,300 dollars. I notified the bank immediately. The payment was submitted 3 times to the credit card company. I have 3 overdraft fees but those fees were forgiven by PNC. However those 3 fees are in my history with PNC and they would not purge my account of that history. I could only institute a stop payment to prevent the payment from being submitted again. I was forced by PNC to suspend my bill pay indefinitely or they would not issue the stop payment. Ridiculous to say the least.

    PNC is now charging overdraft fees for "pending" transactions - then again when those transactions are paid. They are also delaying statement updates several days. Transactions done Friday - Sunday are not being updated until Tuesday-Wednesday. If you made a mistake, they are giving you several extra days to make matters worse.

    Even giving this bank one star is generous. They have terrible customer service representatives that do not know their business. To set the stage for what I'm about to tell you, my credit score is 875, I make very good money, and I pay all my bills before their due date. Since this was my son's first big purchase, I co-signed his car loan a year ago and set up automatic payments. The car loan amount is $373.71 and I inadvertently set up the automatic payments to be $372. After one year of payments, I start receiving phone calls from PNC customer service telling me my car payment for April 2016 was not received and they wanted me to make a payment over the phone. I tell the representative that can't be true as I have automatic payment set up.

    She explains that my automatic payments were cancelled and she continues to press me to take the payment over the phone. Something didn't feel right so I told her I needed to verify with my bank that the payment wasn't made. I check with my bank and the monthly payment was taken out on the 20th (as it had every month). Now I'm thinking it's a scam. I call PNC Bank back to tell them someone is calling representing them saying payments weren't made when they were. Five (5) representatives and 45-minutes later I talk with Ms. ** who explains that they did receive my monthly car payment however, they are calling to collect $18.81 (1.71 short each month) + 0.94 (late fee). Once I know this, I immediately send a check for $50 to cover the under payment.

    Frustration comes over the next 12-days when PNC continues calling me at home and work (most I counted was 10 calls in 1 day) each time telling me my payment was never received. I explain to the representative that it's not my payment it was the $1.71 under payment each month. I sent a $50 check, blah blah blah. The calls continue every day for 12-days. My apologies to the representative who called my house at 8:00 am as I lost it on him. After explaining this to multiple representative over the course of several days, and each telling me they will note the account, an 8:00 am call pushed me over the edge. I have since secured a car loan from another establishment (at a lower interest rate to boot) and will NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH PNC BANK EVER AGAIN!!!

    To make matters worst, since I'm in the process of transferring this loan, I send a check for the May 2016 payment since the first representative told me my automatic payments were cancelled. Well, guess again -- I mailed the May monthly payment AND it was removed via automatic payment. WTF!!! As a trainer, I see a lot of people in my classes. I will pass this story on and on and on as how not to treat a customer. Especially if you want to stay in business. My impression of PNC Bank is that they will not be around for very long. Not when you spend that much time and that many resources to track down $18.81 from what would have been a long standing loyal customer. Glad I do my banking with Wells Fargo!!!

    This "fine establishment" robbed me of around $300 in just overdraft fees which piled up over time and no it was not because of me being careless and trying to buy something that I could not afford. If you have insufficient funds on your account at the time of getting a direct deposit from your job, DO NOT buy anything with this horrible, swindling, companies debit card. They will rob you and charge an outrageous fee of $36 dollars which you cannot even dispute. There's not even an option to not let you buy anything if your account does not have sufficient funds so it's almost as if it is set up in a way which is very convenient for them to rob you of your money when you least expect it.

    Why are companies like this allowed to continue operating? They also figured out just the right amount of money to steal from you over time that they can get away with because they know that you will not go to court for the money and will most likely not win either and they will also make sure that you do not get any of the money that they robbed from you with overdraft fees back. I hope the BBB looks into what this company does and starts shutting it down because this is disgusting...

    If you or anyone you know are considering using the PNC Mortgage office in Peoria, IL, READ THIS. Several weeks ago my wife and I went to the PNC Mortgage office in Peoria, IL and spoke with Michael ** about applying for a FHA loan for a new house. We went through the application process and were approved. We told him we were currently in a contract for deed from my parents in our townhouse that we were selling, and that our down payment was going to come from the proceeds of the sale.

    Our realtor was purchasing the townhouse from us, so everything would be done at the same time. We had the contract for deed paperwork with us and he told us that he didn't need it because we shouldn't do the loan that way, that the money should be treated as a gift, and that would make things easier and cleaner. We assumed he must know better than us because he does this for a living. He asked us when we wanted to close, and we told him April 29 because our second child was due May 29, and we needed time to get moved, settled, and a nursery set up.

    As the process progressed, and we grew closer and closer to our scheduled close date, we began to grow concerned that things were not moving as smoothly as they should be. Because we were now proceeding with the funds treated as a gift, FHA required bank statements and other personal information from my parents, which, understandably, they did not want or need to provide. None of us understood why this information was required. He found another way around these requirements, so we submitted everything required and were all ready to go.

    Then, on April 25, four days before our scheduled close date, after not hearing anything regarding our status for several days, I sent a text to Mike asking about our status. Conveniently, he called me shortly after saying that he was "just about to call me." He said there was a problem with everything to FHA and that they hadn't reviewed everything. This was upsetting because everything had been submitted in plenty of time and there was no communication to us about the status.

    At this point, since our closing date was only seemingly important to us, I decided it would be best to get a manager involved. After telling the manager, Joyce **, what was going on and going through all the difficulties with the paperwork and loan structure, she even said that it should have been structured to have the money down come from proceeds, not as a gift. A gift would infer that we did not have the money, when in reality, the equity we had built in the townhouse was our money. So, after a comment or two from Mike about "having to restructure everything," we restructured and resubmitted to FHA. The manager was involved now and was going to work to expedite everything, and we assured everything was going to work out.

    Well here we are on May 13. We already moved into the new house because the manager suggested we ask our realtor for early occupancy because everything was going to be fine. We needed furniture and appliances, so we went shopping and purchased what we needed. We've already closed on the sale of our townhouse, so we don't own that anymore. We have a two year old girl and in two weeks will have a baby to bring home. The problem is, Joyce, the manager, called me this afternoon, after another ignored text to Mike, and informed me that FHA was no longer interested in proceeding with the loan. They felt that because of the discrepancies and changes in structure and paperwork that something fishy was going on.

    I asked her what PNC was going to do to fix this, because after all, it was the ineptitude of the Peoria office that did this to us. Her response was that there was nothing they could do and that they weren't going to charge us for the appraisal. Great! Thanks for the few hundred dollars! If Mike had just structured everything how we had wanted and thought it should have been done, everything would be taken care of. Now we're living in a house that we don't own, we sold the house we came out of, so what are we supposed to do? They won't even admit that they did anything wrong. My wife and I are beyond upset with everything right now, and we can't even get a "sorry."

    2008-2009, the federal government bailed out banks with taxpayer-backed dollars to the tune of 204 trillion dollars. PNC got a mere 7.6 billion. The average Joe, that's you and me, did not benefit from this action of our trusted politicians, but Washington has benefited big time. If I understand this whole action completely, to cover the cost of, hey, let's pull a figure out of a hat like say 7.6 billion, PNC just issued more stock options, devaluing their existing stock holders' investments, and paying much lower dividends. PNC took the money, did not help one single average Joe, again that's you and me, and bought up other failing financial institutions, and handed out big bonuses to their top few on the golf course.

    It doesn't end there, the funny stocks newly issued were guaranteed at a reduced price to the federal government. Are you still following this? So the federal government basically paid back the taxpayer-funded bailout with taxpayer dollars. How did that happen? Is there nobody in Washington who has a moral bone in their body? Well, Joe, here's why!!! The federal government now owns any bank, every bank, that took bailout funds or TARP money. These banks answer to Washington and don't have a care about you and me. To make a long story short, banking is a whole new ballgame. There are still good banks out there. Do your research.

Well here where we are there are no PNC banks which we were told otherwise. This is where it get out of control with PNC bank.

Wait a little bit and try and call a bit later. The girl on the other end then tells me there was fraudulent charges on our account or rather what PNC thought were fraudulent charges, which they were not. But they did not tell us this.

    Now my husband and I do not spend a lot, so apparently they shut our cards down three weeks ago and did not tell us. Hence why I could not use the card anywhere. Then told me if I had called seven days after the card was shut down they could have done something. Well if you don't tell us you are shutting our card down we can not get anything done.

    So then after 7 hours - yes seven hours of being on the phone with them - after this was faxed and that and yes we can wire this and send stuff here. They tell us of "there was fraudulent activity on your account. We cant do anything for you." They couldn't even find a way to overnight us a new card. Ugh.

LET'S SEE IF FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS ALLOWED/IF THIS POST DISAPPEARS: It seems that no matter who you deal with in business, the big companies are just so impersonalized and the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Latest problem is with PNC Bank: Got an e-mail on March 25 that new chip card is on its way. Last week try to make online purchase and my order is cancelled by merchant as unable to verify my information with my bank on my credit card. Call PNC bank and they tell me my card hasn't been activated. I tell them it is the same card I have been using for a year or two.

    PNC activates my card anyway (this I later find out is the card that is supposedly in the mail, which as of April 11 I still have not gotten). This automatically deactivated my card in hand and now I have no card and a card possibly lost in the mail which is activated! PNC next tells me to go to Farmington Hills branch and they can print me off a new card on the spot. After driving 38 miles one way to do this, I am told that they can't print off a card on a business account. But, the manager orders me a card to be over-nighted, due for delivery on Monday April 11. That card doesn't arrive either. Call PNC again. That card was not over-nighted. They "don't do that"!

    So, I sit with no card yet. Unable to conduct business if I can't get to the bank during banking hours, which on my work days, I can't. Can't pay my vendors for advertising contracts that I have, suppliers for weekly supplement orders to treat my patients...nothing. I pay over $300 per month in banking fees because I use PNC merchant services (I accept credit cards at my business through PNC Bank) and this is the lack of service that I get. It is really unbelievable and such a lack of care and an unwillingness to resolve problems. Where do I go to get better service? Had different problems with Comerica, but just as troublesome. Can't we get good customer service anymore? Can't we believe what we're told? Can they deliver what is promised?

But after a day they told me that they need a co-signer on the loan with a minimum credit history of a year. Which was surprising to me because I already have 4 years of good established credit history. When I asked them to look in to the application again, they told me they would really like to see a vehicle loan history on my account.

She was told an investigation would take place and that her account would be frozen for 90 days. She explained to a customer service representative that her mortgage needed to be paid. The women told her to resubmit the mortgage payment. The customer service women assured her she would make sure the payment went through. Fast forward a week. A local branch in Canal Winchester, Ohio charged off her account without any attempt to contact her first or wait for the investigation to be completed. After learning about this she called the women in customer service back who now was very unhelpful, rude and disrespectful.

    Wanting answers she went to the bank in Canal, where she was told by the assistant bank manager that they had no information from anyone higher up in the bank that the account was being disputed and was being investigated. The branch manager said "What's done is done" and that there was nothing he could do about it. He told my girlfriend that the women she talked to in customer escalations failed to make notes or inform them of anything on the account. She asked why she never was told about this decision. The assistant manager told her that they have the right to arbitrarily close any account at any time for any reason and that they don't need to inform the person on the account. To add insult to injury, after they took all of her savings and the money in her checking she was informed "by the way you still owe us the $508 to cover the remaining balance."

    It's bad enough that my girlfriend was the victim of a fraudulent check. It's worse that her bank PNC decided to make things worse by working against her. She made every attempt to try and resolve the situation and make payment arrangements. They refused to work with her and are now blaming it on incompetent communications internally.

    My experience with PNC began when they bought out my bank. Since then they have closed 4 local branches in 3 years. My branch was 20 minutes from my home. Now, I drive 45 to the closest branch and have to pay for parking. I have my own checking account, a Visa, and two student virtual wallets where I co-sign with two of my sons with PNC. They keep merging my account information into my son's student account. The bank's attitude about this error is appalling to me. They are now refusing to fix it. If you are looking for a bank or looking to change banks, use anyone besides PNC unless you want inconvenient locations, apathetic customer service, and general frustration in your banking.

    I banked with PNC for a year until just recently. First off they have very poor customer service. Each time I've ever gone into that bank physically I was never greeted! Secondly, I am in the US Navy and I am deployed a lot so therefore, I was not as active with this account in particular, however, I still utilized it for what it was worth. Anyway, to make a horrific long story short, I eventually had to close this account because of several reasons. They have all kind of hidden fees, that one day you'll look at your account and it's fine to seeing it again and it's overdrawn. I had my taxes deposited into this account while it was still open, they accepted the refund and then closed my account. So where the hell did my funds go??? Yes, I asked myself the same question.

    After 2 weeks, everyday of going to a branch and calling the recovery department, I spoke with several "Supervisors" that lead me in a world of circles. One day they'd tell me, "ma'am your cashier's check has been sent out." The next time I speak with someone to confirm, they'd say, "ma'am your check will be sent out on tomorrow and you will receive it within 3-5 business days" then the next would say "Let me get your physical address and have the check sent out to you on tomorrow and you should receive it within 7-10 business day." Imagine how irate I became.

    It has been a very stressful journey trying to retrieve what I am entitled to legally! There has to be some kind of resolution or help that I can get with this. The last attempt that I made trying to get help was with this so called Supervisor "Mark" who is extremely rude and with very poor customer service that also likes to hang up the phone in your ear and not allow you to speak with his Supervisor. I will be filing suit at this point. My advice to anyone that is considering banking with this horrible bank is... DON'T!!!

    I would strongly advise anyone thinking of banking with this company to take their money elsewhere! I had banked with PNC for 7 years and never had a problem. Until my roommate, (ex roommate now) wrote me 3 rent checks that bounced. Pnc held me responsible & even though they took the fees out of my account on payday the bank suspended my access to my money awaiting review. I went to the bank and explained what happened. I was pleading with them to please release my funds & just close the account. I'm a single mother of a 5 year old boy that depends on me. I have bills that need to be paid. They said there was nothing they could do & unfortunately they were going to hold my funds for the next 10 business days. I said, "What am I supposed to tell my son? Oh sorry honey you cant eat anything for the next 2 weeks cause Pnc bank wont give mommy her money that she worked for?" They didn't care.

    They are cold-hearted, inhumane, pieces of garbage. They held my paycheck (Mind you I get paid through direct deposit every 2 weeks & it was payday), plus my federal & state taxes. Over $6,000.00 of money that belongs to me was frozen for 14 days. In that time I had barely scraped by & even faced an eviction notice from my landlord because I was 2 weeks late on rent, I actually received my paycheck in my new m&t account before FINALLY getting the cashier's check they promised me in the mail. Do not bank with this company, they truly do not care about people at all. All they want is your money & I'm living proof they can & will keep it from you too. #PNC=PeopleNeverCare

    I called the 800 customer service number and no one answered the phone. The next day I went to the bank. I needed to cancel some checks and was told it would be 33 dollars per check, I said in that case I should just close my account. I would like to start by closing my savings account. The teller dumped me off on another woman in an office. That women closed all my accounts. When I told her I was only closing my savings she said it was too late. But she tried to call the teller support and they informed her that I closed a POD account and I was not allowed to close it because it belonged to my husband. I opened the account in my name and it was suppose to be POD to my husband. I made all the deposits from my paycheck.

    Another time I was working with a teller and a teller working at the drive thru butted in and made my teller stop our transaction so she could wait on the drive thru customer. I am very sure they don't want customers... They want money and all transactions to be virtual. It has been years of unprofessional behavior and this was just too much. They have constant turnover. They take tellers and try to train them to be personal bankers. But, that is not a good idea. They have redesigned the bank and it is ugly. They don't have deposit slips out where they can be found. They are tucked in a drawer and you have to ask for them. I decided if they can't set up my POD account correctly... it was time to move on.

    The Branch Manager at the Mt. Dora, FL bank gave information regarding a POD acct without asking for identification or verifying the persons inquiring were in fact the executor(s) of the will. He further gave names of beneficiaries and balances on accounts that were already in the process of being closed, causing unnecessary and irreversible damage to the family dynamics and trust in PNC's ability to be responsible with confidential and private information. PNC offered nothing beyond an apology and claimed no wrongdoing happened. The Manager did NOT have any identification for the persons, nor did he ask for it. He did NOT have legal proof of executors nor did he ask for it. This gross negligence is inexcusable behavior on the part of any bank employee especially the manager!

    PNC states that when I signed up for their checking account over 6 years ago I was informed of their fee structure. This must have been done with invisible ink, I do not remember reading anything. Also they have in place that if you write a check they can choose to honor it or not no matter how much money is in your account. If you use a debit card, payment would be refused. Order PNC logo checks: costs $38. Need a new debit card: $7. Overdraft fees over 7 days add up quickly. Plus the initial fee of $26. 7 days of $7. As a senior citizen with limited income this does not help with bill paying and eating. Talked to customer service 3X and a supervisor. I was told it's my fault but TY for banking with PNC.

    I created this account just so I can post this review. I've been a customer for years and never had any issues until now and I am horrified at PNC's customer service. I got charged a $15 service fee on my checking account, even though I met 2 out of 3 requirements to not pay the fee (you need to meet any ONE of the three). I called 1-800 number and was told that they can't reimburse the fee. I took the time to go to a local branch (waste of time) and the personal banker that was there doing nothing did not even come to help me.

    I dealt with a teller (she was at least nice) who told me they will take my info and give me a call by the end of the next day. When I was leaving, the banker stood there smiling, doing NOTHING. By 3 pm the next day, I called the branch and asked to speak to a banker, any banker. I was told that she was just about to call me but went to lunch and will call me when she returns. I guess they take 3-hour lunches at PNC because they called me at 5:51, with the branch closing at 6 pm. Left a message that I can give them a call the next day and they will explain the charge. UNBELIEVABLE!

    This is how I get treated after banking with them for 10 years! I called 1-800 number again, and again was told that the fee is fine and that it will happen again(!) and for the millionth time, I told the guy that it better NOT happen again because I currently meet ALL requirements of having a free account...

    I did a Popmoney transfer using PNC Bank with which I have my primary checking account. The Popmoney offers the service to send money using phone number which is what I used to transfer funds ($533) but the money went to some other person's account. The intended party's phone number was registered with Popmoney and the account is also in PNC Bank but still the money went to someone else. I escalated it 4 times with PNC and went to great lengths to explain them. Every time they kept changing their stance. They admitted money went to some wrong person and they were aware who it was but they are not ready to refund it or even reach out to the person to check. They asked me to talk to the person but how can I when I have no idea who it went to?

    On my first attempt PNC even initiated the process of refund stating it was a goof up on their end but cancelled the process later. I was asked to reach out to Popmoney directly on my 4th attempt which I did but was told by Popmoney agent that they can't do anything and I need to check with PNC. After trying for 3 months and with no results I am posting it here so that this is noticed by a larger audience. I don't expect I will ever get my money back now. I surely will be closing my account with PNC and will recommend others to be wary of this before opening the account. Any suggestions on how to deal with this are welcome. Thanks in advance.

    I have had at least 5 accounts with this bank in the last 33 years, both business and personal. They started out very satisfactorily but as time progressed they became bigger, more impersonal, and more greedy. Case in point, they offered me a home equity loan with favorable terms, and when the 10-year term was expired, they changed the payback terms so as to make payment considerably greater than the original amount in the agreement, and used the excuse that my credit score had been degraded. When I approached them and asked for a temporary loan modification due to extenuating circumstances, they absolutely refused, and told me to sell my home or they would file foreclosure. I was able to secure a loan from another bank and pay them off.

    On another occasion they changed the terms of the reward points on a credit card (in tiny fine print) so that I ended up getting back next to nothing. They had also added big account "maintenance fees" to another account, and drastically increased other service fees all while decreasing or eliminating any interest on deposits. This is apparently the way banks that are "too big to fail" become bigger. Last week I closed the last remaining account I held with this bank. I have had enough of their devious, underhanded, and outright deceptive practices. After 33 years it is a sad way to have to end a business relationship.

So I kept 500 in the account and let it stay open. I never even used the account. A "paper statement fee" of $2 brought me under the limit and I was charged another fee of $8 for being below $500.

    Happened for months before I caught on. All total PNC BANK stole about $50 before I went back to the branch and closed my account.

For months I was calling up the bank asking them what they needed to sign it so we could get our audit finished and for months I got the run around. Telling me we needed to get a bank teller to notarize our documents before we got our account confirmed, telling me that we weren't a corporation so we couldn't use our corporate stamp to get it notarized...

    Next, I offered to make the Dec. and Jan. payments on the phone via auto-check transfer. They confirmed the routing and check numbers, and the payment was made for a 2nd time. After (10) days, my mother received another call from a PNC collector who said, "The Dec. payment had not been received." So, I called PNC and they informed me that they "reversed out" those (2) payments. I asked for a reason and none was given. So, why couldn't they call me before reversing the charges?

He said not to use the old debit card (throw away) and wait for my new one.

    A few days later, I received my debit card in the mail. Again, I tried to activate the card and nothing! I went to another branch and they said it had been closed again because they didn't give the associate the authority to open another account and quickly wrote me a check for the money in my account. The associate said that he didn't know why and I should call an 800 number to find out why they closed my account again.

She assured me that it would show as one payment today, but on my account would be broken down. I realized later that it did not break down, so I went back in the bank and spoke with the same teller. She said that is shows in their system that I made several month's payments ahead of time and everything was fine. I thought I was okay for a couple months until I had the money to make another payment (I always stay ahead with loans and I never miss a payment).

    Three months go by and I get a phone call asking if I was aware I had missed three payments. I assured the employee that it was impossible because I paid 5 months ahead, so I still had two months of payments in their system. He informed me that I only had made one payment equaling the amount of 5 payments. I spoke with their supervisor who told me it was impossible to check who did the transaction to sort out the issue. Although, every time you make a transaction, their ID goes on EVERY paper. I don't know who she expected to believe that, hopefully not me.

    After getting absolutely nowhere fast with this bank, I paid the loan off in full, closed both of my accounts and walked away. Thinking I was done with PNC was a great feeling. However, this week and almost 3 years later, I get a notice about updates to my account ending in **. This is impossible because I do not have an account with PNC Bank.

    As a 15 year customer, PNC inconveniently chose to close my accounts without reason. In disbelief with the situation, I frantically tried to contact PNC for answers. I was told PNC did not have to disclose reason for their actions and that the account would be closed in thirty days. Two of the women I tried to discuss the issue with hung up on me and the last woman redirected my call to a PNC employee number. Frustrated, I chose to call the 1888 PNC BANK number, at this point in search for any type of help. I spoke to one customer service representative for thirty minutes who couldn't see any hold on the accounts, and told me to go to a branch. The following day, I went to my local branch and discussed my issue with an assistant manager. After a few tears out of frustration and embarrassment, I chose to end my relationship with PNC due to the inconsideration and hassle I was going through.

    The Assistant manager handed me my cashier's check and the signed letter with proof of signature that the accounts had been closed. To officially part ways, I took my ATM card bent it and threw it away. Twenty days later, I receive a letter in the mail stating PNC had over drafted my account that has been closed. Confused, yet again, due to the fact I knew I didn't have an account with PNC, I chose to call the 1 888 number to confirm this had to be an error on their part. After another 30 minute conversation with one of the reps and being on hold for the third time, I was again hung up on. Out of pure determination, I called back looking for answers, and was told to visit another branch.

    Apparently, if you have a reoccurring monthly charge, such as a Netflix account and Netflix tries to run the charge on the closed account, PNC reopens the account without acknowledging the account holder and charges the account holder with overdraft fees. My experience with PNC has been anything but exhausting. My hard earned dollars and precious time have been spent trying to fix an issue I never created in the first place. I am going to take extreme measures to make sure this never happens to anyone else.

    PNC charged me unnecessary overdraft charges. Took three days for me to actually talk to a manager, after being called back by the first one and being told "I'll be in meetings all day. Right now is the only time I can talk." not when is a better time for me to reach you? Different manager informs me I will not be refunded the fees. Three of his sales associates told me to fight this because I was mischarged. Four days later still no refund of my wrongly charged fees and on wait for 45 minutes to be told they can give me suggestions for the future. Horrible customer service, rude employees, and one very unsatisfied customer. Would never recommend anyone to use PNC bank!

    PNC locked my boyfriend's card after they failed to receive a payment. It was sent, there is a confirmation showing. It shows posted. But that did not stop them from locking the card down until they got a payment. We worked with customer service and supposedly there was nothing else they could do. This is the one and only payment that has been missed and it was already paid and posted, via their website. We are cancelling this card asap.

    The people at PNC are crooks. I had overdrafted my account -6.46. I put 70 dollars in the atm at 11 pm. Which put my account to positive at 62 dollars. I had to get groceries so I went to the store around midnight and spent 49 which would leave me with 13 dollars in my account. At 2 am, I get an email stating that I was overdrafted -23.10. When I logged into my online banking there was no overdraft fee listed. So as soon as I got up I called PNC and talked to the representative that had told me because I didn't deposit the money by 10 pm that my deposit didn't have time to process.

    If that were the case then why would the atm receipt state that I was positive? AND, if you overdrafted me 36$, why in the hell am I negative 23.10? I called corporate and they also stated that they could not waive the overdraft fee. I deal with this all the time with them and get different information each time. I'm tired of having to pay so much in overdraft fees. Will be switching banks after rent is paid. Horrible service.

    With the exception of one very nice representative I had the worst experience of my life with no resolution. I was transferred over 10 times to representatives who were completely clueless as to how to resolve my problem which was simply sending me out a new pin number for my online banking account. When I was transferred the last time my phone was simply cut completely off.

    I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how a customer service line can keep a customer waiting for an hour and a half for ZERO resolution and rude and clipped representatives who clearly would rather transfer you at the first sign of difficulty rather than spend 5 minutes trying to resolve your problem. Stay far away from this bank if you want to be treated as a respected customer. I have used many other banks including TD who have easy, quick and respectable representatives. I am absolutely shocked at the lack of dedication to service this bank has. PNC, you need to reevaluate your service because you will lose your customers.

    Thought this bank was good. I was attracted to the wallet feature. As soon as I called them regarding a fraudulent transaction they took the merchants side. Never asked for my documentation and charged my account over 400 adding as many fees as they could. I will make sure to find another bank most likely a credit union! Creeps and Robbers are what they are.

    PNC is only out for your money. We opened a virtual wallet account back in 2013 and right away had some problems. The bank told us everything was the way it should but we had checks being taken out of the wrong account. Complained about it and called their customer service. Neither helped. Now they sent us some new checks and they are coming out of every one of our accounts. We went directly to the bank which admitted that the bank had incorrectly set up our account. They had overdrafted us by 400 dollars on two weeks. I was told by the bank it was our fault that we overdrafted, when on fact we had the money. They just took it out of the wrong accounts. We had this escalated up to the regional manager and was denied the money back despite the bank seeing it was their fault and admitting to it. I will be looking into suing the bank for the major inconvenience and for robbing me.

    WORST BANK EVER. Not customer friendly. Doesn't want your business. If you are not a "client," your interaction with personnel is just atrocious. They do not go out of their way to please potential customers or accommodate anyone. Tried to cash a check drawn on daughter's PNC account. Would not cash since I was not a "client." Then, when trying to open an account to deposit the check and withdraw some of the funds when funds were transferred from my daughter's PNC account into my potentially new PNC account, they refused to open a new checking account for me stating I was just trying to "clear checks" and/or to "get a cashier's check in order to get the funds," and I would just then "close the account," so they would not even open a checking account for me. Don't waste your time. They are a mess.

    I was the same account as my mother. My mother's bank account closed so they ended up closing mine as well. Okay that fine I was deal with that. But this was the problem. PNC did not notify us of the closing of our bank accounts! Isn't that illegal or something to close an account and not let the owner of the account know? And what was even worse was that my check had direct deposit into the account after it had closed. And since it did that I have to wait 7-10 DAYS to get MY PAYCHECK! They are very careless they obviously see my activity and see that I get direct deposit every FRIDAY! And could have waited to unofficially close my account until after my direct deposit hit! I had things to do with that paycheck but because of their carelessness I have to wait 7-10 for MY PAYCHECK?!

    And what was even worse was that I went into my local branch and they told me they opted of the option to get my check at the branch so I had NO CHOICE but to wait 7-10 days. I just feel like that is very unprofessional for a bank to close an account and not give notification. All of this would have been avoided and I would have gotten my check on my payday. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BANK TO ANYONE!!! And this is not the first time this bank has done something to my paycheck.

    I had been looking for a new credit card to open. I had been very happy with my Chase card, which I had for about five years. I recently started paying interest on my balance. I was looking to find a card that would offer 0% interest and also allow me to transfer my balance, which I was always getting offers in the mail. After looking for a few weeks at various cards, I came across PNC which had reps set up in the grocery store. They had a big sign which stated 18 months- 0% interest, balance transfer, etc. The offer sounded too good to be true. I told the PNC employee EXACTLY what I was looking to find in a new credit card. He passed me the application right there and he even called me the next day to provide me with an update on when I would be receiving the card and offered to help me with the balance transfer, which ended up costing me $150.

    The $150 didn't bother me too much because I knew that was the only interest I would be paying for 18 months. Boy was I wrong... I have been paying interest every month since the card opened. When I talked to the PNC rep over the phone, which was the third person I had climbed up to, she told me that she would get his side and get back to me with what they could do for me. Our last conversation was her telling me that PNC couldn't help me out since it was a "He said-She said" situation. WORST MISTAKE I EVER MADE! I am now paying more interest than what I was with Chase. I would advise everyone from opening this card!

    Started dealing with PNC on a commercial loan in May. It is now November and we just secured a loan from my small town home bank. After dealing with them I plan on staying as far away from PNC as I can. PNC lost all of our paperwork in August and did not tell us until I called and asked what the status was and I was told "what loan". To that I say what a joke. My advice is just stay away from them.

    Worst bank I have ever dealt with. I mailed a payment back on October 2, 2015, it was not due until October 22, 2015 and they did not post it till the 23rd. There is no way that the payment took that long to reach the bank. They refused to remove the late fee. I have been a card holder for 4 years and have several accounts with them including my business accounts. All of my accounts will be closed and I will never bank with PNC again. I am highly disappointed in them. They lack a lot of customer service experience and all need training. When I told the supervisor I would be closing my account because of the situation all she said was, "I will close those for you today." With a few choice words after saying I will be opening new accounts first I hung up the call. I cannot believe a bank would chose to lose thousands of dollars in interest instead of a $25 late fee!
