I had opened an account with them and was suppose to have my SS sent to my new checking account. (I was moving to Florida and the bank I was using had no branches in Florida.) The paperwork for the SS was never sent in and so this never happened. I got charged and charged for breaking their rules" out of their Corporative neglect and mistake. I went into the bank to talk with the manager. She looked at the papers, asked to see my card and shredded it. Then looked up and said, “Now you don’t have an account.” I had deposited $500 in this account. $100 only for the checking and the rest for this Statement saving and according to them I also had a reserve checking account without an checking number or checks.
When I moved down to Florida I went into a PNC to find my statement savings since my online banking was turned off. According to the Branch there was no account in my name and they were going to call the Sheriff for me trying to hold up the bank. I was in a state of shock. I had no proof of the account and now they wanted to arrest me? I left and used the phone. They said I was harassing calling them to ask where my money is. I did not abandon the money or the account since I was calling, they followed a loophole in the law stating that since I showed no activity (I didn't have the accounts or numbers) they turned the money over to the PA State Unclaimed Property.
Finally when I called they admitted they had the money in the account and they closed it. They stole my money. The Law is if the money is not claimed the State sends it back after so many year and PNC get the money. I filed to get it back But I was told now it's going to take 17-20 weeks before I get the money back. The bank stole my money, abused me as a senior, extorted me, charged me with fees which they caused not me. And when I moved to Florida and tried to get my money it became an interstate scam.

Stay away from this or any PNC Bank credit card. They won't post your payments, don't matter how many times you call, so they can charge late fees. Just closed my credit card account today. They will scam you and take your money. Solange **

A representative of this bank came in to my job`s orientation, offering $200.00 free to open an account, with nice details. I was wrong to assume this would get better as I listened. I already have a bank account with another bank and have for many years. I have no outstanding car loans, live in a paid for house and have a driver's license to match. My job had to have a decision on approval of me, or not, with PNC Bank before I could go to work, in terms of how I was paid. I had to repeatedly call the bank until I found out in the 2nd day near close of business. I also don't have any outstanding loans. I've had 2 overdraft totals in 18 months, both just under $10.00. One of those being at the same timing from my own bank as I was trying to get approved for PNC, and was denied. I was zonked with being told that I was denied an account. Don't do business with them is my advice.

PNC has give me the run around about getting my money back from the ATM. I deposited 700 dollars into an ATM to be preloaded to my smart access card and it continuously was counting my money and didn’t deposit but continue counting and read error and spit my card out so I then went inside and manager told me where it was an smart access I would have to file dispute and I did then I received letter that said no transaction made or record of, then I re-did my dispute because money still wasn’t in hand. So I ask to see cameras and they said dispute people looks at those. I still don’t have my 700 and either someone else pocket it or ATM service guy is a crook. My next step is a lawyer and a police report because being the amount is consider a felony charge. And something needs to be done.

I had some money in my account and PNC Bank took my money. I’m going through a financial situation and they took more than the monthly fee. Usually a bank takes a 1.00 from your account but no PNC Bank took all my money. Never again will I ever deal with this bank again.

I have had issues with them before but not quite this bad. My husband pays my credit card bill by mail. It is set up to be paid monthly from his account to mine. They consistently get the check on Friday but do not credit my account until Monday. This results in finance charges when not paid on time. Apparently they can’t credit my account on a Saturday or Sunday? Ok, if that’s not enough, they have no way of knowing when a check comes in the mail. If the bill is not with it they apparently send it back. They have no system to tell what money comes in when. I have spoke to about 12 different people this week and received 12 different answers. They have been trained to lie instead of finding an answer. This was the last straw. I will be changing banks. If I can’t trust them to tell the truth, why would I trust them with my money?

I have been a customer for over 15 years with PNC. A while back I was dating a man that said "come on my account, if anything happens to me you can get money out". I asked PNC to remove me from that account. Their policy is unless some is deceased names can’t be removed. I had an account with them all by myself as well where my work checks went into. Needless to say yesterday PNC took the 3700.00 I had in my account to cover overdrawn fees in my ex's account. They refused to do anything about this and when I called my ex he said he reported the debit card stolen, which PNC refused to do anything about. All that money in my account was for my rent, my bills and food. And they didn’t give a crap. The account was not in my ex's name. This is the worst bank ever and I hope they get run out of business. They could care less the hardship they have caused me. Don’t bank with PNC Bank. This is how they treat their customers.

Customer service people are not helpful. Very young, rude and slow. This bank said my account was hacked but never notified me that I needed to update my online banking username/ password. One 5/28, I tried to log into my online banking. I was unable to log in. I bounced around to 3 different customer service reps to finally learn that my account had been locked on May 6th. At one point, the customer service woman told me I had received an email about the account being locked, which I had not. I searched my inbox to confirm. No emails from PNC. If my account is hacked or there is an attempt to hack my account, I would want to know immediately, not 22 days later when I am unable to log into online banking! Overall, I think the communications are very poor and this bank is not well organized. I would not recommend PNC.

I’ve had an account with PNC for ten years, never had any issues, until now. My social security number was stolen and someone ruined my credit. I thought my money was safe in my bank. I even alerted them to the issue. Incorrect, they allowed a company that buys out collections, even after they were removed from your credit report and records to clean out my entire account. As if that’s not bad enough, they let them do it on the Saturday before Memorial Day... so I can’t even speak to anyone for three days. I can’t get gas or food or anything else I need because of a scam that this bank allowed. I have no idea how this is legal.

We have had a Commercial Loan for 15 year. I would never recommend or borrow from this bank again. It is the WORST lending institution I have ever dealt with. A red flag should have gone up when the Loan Officer was 20 minutes late for the appointment to finalize the loan. The Teller was extremely rude and act as if we were an imposition after we had driven 30 miles to a branch because we had to change our address and they required that a fax be sent... ON A DIAL IN FAX MACHINE (who has those). The never-ending automated phone system is a hassle to use just to get a payoff statement sent. We close on the sale of the building and our loan will be paid off Friday, can't wait. I will NEVER do business with PNC again, no matter how low their lending rates sink.

Although I've been happy with the bank I currently use for my checking account (Regions), I'm in the process of moving to a different state where my current bank does not have any branches. So, I opened a checking account with PNC, and funded it with a check drawn from my existing account. The check cleared on the following day, May 23. My employer requires a voided check in order to transfer my direct deposit to the new PNC account.
On May 25, I went to the local PNC branch to get a convenience check printed, and was told that my account was on hold since Regions had declined the funding check (which I knew had cleared days ago). I went to the Regions branch right across the street, got printed proof that the check had cleared, and took it back to PNC. The manager said, "Oh, sorry about that. No problem, let me call our hold department to clear it up." A minute later she came back and said, "sorry, they only work Monday thru Friday, so we cannot fix this until after Memorial Day." At that point I told her not to worry about it, that it was my fault for opening an account with the wrong bank, and I would close it. A waste of time.

This has been the most horrible experience I’ve experienced in quite a while. I set up an account online. Nowhere that I saw on the website did it say it was going to be $25 so I didn’t expect that to come out but OK that’s fine. So I set aside time on my day off Saturday to go to the bank to sign to get my card and I waited an hour! After waiting an hour, I signed all of the paperwork and left. Fast forward 5 days later and there’s still a hold on my account. I called customer service and they told me that the lady at the branch didn’t fax over the paperwork and that is why my $25 that I deposited is still on hold and that I would have to go BACK to the bank and sign for the card again.
Then after being on the phone with customers service for an hour they told me that it would cost $25 to close my account and they kept me on hold for an hour just to tell me that. This is the most horrible experience in an organized company I have ever dealt with. I do not recommend them whatsoever. If you are looking to open up a new checking account try Bank of America, Fifth Third Bank or even Michigan First but I do not recommend PNC! Now because of THEIR mistake I will not be able to receive my paycheck.

Tree fell through our house over six weeks ago. AAA Insurance took ten days to get money to us. PNC, as the mortgage holder, now has our money. Four weeks of calling DAILY, we still have no money. Every document sent in is wrong. They have never contacted us to help us get the required information. I can prove that they are just stringing us along. Documents that they have refused are now OK. Others that they have accepted are now wrong. Worst Mortgage company that I have ever dealt with. Will never do business with again. Consumer BEWARE of what you sign with this company. They claim to be protecting you as a customer but their process makes no sense. Have already spent $22000 of own money stabilizing home and they just informed us that they can't accept Contractors W-9 because they can't tell if he wrote 2018 or 2019. These people are insane!

1. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME CHECKING YOUR BALANCE ON MOBILE APP. It doesn't accurately reflect your balance, either at the time of transactions, the next day or even after the transactions post. I paid 3 bills online after the 10 pm cutoff of the banking day, around 10:30 pm. The initial debits showed. By the next day (the same bank day as the 3 debits), the debits disappeared, leaving me to think that they didn't go through. One of the payments had to be done by 11:59 pm, the day I paid it. I called customer service, who could only say that they didn't see the transactions. They accelerated my situation. I was told that someone would call within 24 to 48 business hours. It was Friday, leaving me wondering about the account all weekend.
The charges finally came out the following Monday. By Tuesday afternoon (1 hr short of 48 business hours), I called the bank back. Apparently the app is unreliable. I needed to go to the PNC website to get an accurate accounting. At the same time, it appeared that I was charged a bounce fee, even though I wasn't overdrawn. I checked into that issue that Tuesday.
This is what I was told. Say I swipe my card at a store. I only have $5 in the bank. The bill is $10. If I have overdraw protection (not the same as overdraw protection), the $10 debit charge will go through. I will be charged a "transaction fee" ($36 bounce fee). It may take a few days for the $10 to post. Meanwhile, if I don't deposit funds to cover the overage, other non-swipe transactions will go through, accumulating more bounce fees. If that $10 charge, which overdrew my account, goes through after the other transactions, the Bank won't charge me the initial bounce fee. There is 1 caveat. I won't get charged, but only if I opted out of the overdraw option. If I opted out, that initial transaction wouldn't have gone through. It stands to reason then, that I wouldn't get charged an overdraft fee. I wasn't overdrawn at the point of the failed overdrawal.
One more caveat. If the next transaction(s) were made as recurring charges, I wouldn't get the "overdraft fee" refund from the initial, denied, transaction. I guess not, in any case. It was denied. No overdraft fee. Then there's the recurring overdraft fee. I never did figure that out. Sometimes if the overdraft continues to the next day, they charge an additional $7 fee. Every day until it's cleared up. According to the customer service person, they can charge up to $36...a day. Plenty more. But I'm tired of carrying on. Think twice about signing up for this bank.

I started my small business 5 years ago and have used PNC Bank from the start. The Columbus Indiana branch on 25th street needs lessons on courtesy. Every single time I’ve had to deal with these rude people, I’ve left upset so between this issue and all the service charges just to have a business account, I’m just done! 3.00 just to check my balance from a business savings account. 5.00 to maintain said account. The list goes on and on. I have been to other branches and not had any problems as far as customer service and I don’t have many issues with the app. It’s a shame that one branch of rude customer service people can ruin it and so many service charges as well.

PNC wouldn’t refund my money due to me miscalculating money cause of their APP said. I had the money in my account. Now ya I understand if this happened every week to not refund something but I also understand customer satisfaction as well and I’m very unsatisfied. This doesn’t happen every week. As I’m normally good with math and calculating how much I have. Tired of the same issues every time with PNC taking an overdraft fee when I have money being refunded as is.

I would highly suggest using any other bank rather than PNC. I started a savings account to park money used periodically to fund CDs in another bank. Despite using the very same user ID and password as I use on two other banks the software at PNC repeatedly corrupted my password blocking my access. I repeatedly complained and there was zero improvement. Finally I got so frustrated that I called and asked to close my account. They were able to get me temporary access and I transferred all the money to another bank and thought they would honor my request to close the account.
They lied and did not and an outstanding transfer request came in that I was unable to cancel due to no access to the account and they tried to claim I overdrafted my account and wanted to charge me a $36 overdraft fee. When I called to complain that the account was supposed to be closed they tried to blame me. Btw it took 20 minutes before someone answered the phone another indication of their lack of customer service. They are unbelievabley arrogant and incompetent.

I have been reliable PNC customer for the last 8 years. While I have had several complaints in the past, nothing has frustrated me to the point of writing a review. I have been living abroad for the last 8 months and traveling extensively. I have continually updated my account to approve such travel. However, three days ago, for no apparent reason, they 'red-flagged' my recent purchases and froze my cards without warning. I have repeatedly messaged their customer service agents to no avail and was finally told to use the chat or call directly.
I have been checking the chat roughly once every hour for the last two days and it is always closed. I only have a Spanish phone number and my plan does not permit international calls so I am unable to call PNC's help number. As they are a very limited, US based bank, there is no international call number. Because of this fiasco, I have been unable to purchase food and necessities and have been unable to book reservations for upcoming travel plans. If I could give PNC less than 1 star, I would.

In early 2018, PNC pressured me into getting another VISA credit card explaining that they could offer me a significantly lower rate. I planned on transferring my activity from the higher rate card to PNC's card. I was not transferring any significant balance (<$200). I tried to use their card for a cash advance at the branch in Allentown, Pennsylvania near Cetronia Road. They declined to do so - which is their right. And I called to cancel the card - which had absolutely no balance on it - which was my right. PNC Visa refused to cancel the card after the first call. And after several more phone calls, they told me they canceled it but would not send me confirmation. Two weeks after that call, PNC sent me a letter confirming the card was active and they were updating my address. I had better success with a PNC branch in Rockville.

I received a check from the college I attend and just last week cashed a check with no issue at the PNC on W Broad St in Columbus, Ohio. Today I went in with the same type of check (nowadays schools disperse checks in two payments, back to back) and received a lead worker named James. He gave me a hard time and said he needed to verify the check. Ok. I inform him that the gentleman next to him cashed the same check for more less than 2 weeks ago. He pretends to call and verify the check and after it ringing for about 10 seconds makes an moron comment that they are closed on a Friday at 1pm! Idiot.
I called PNC and they said that they are sorry and it is at the discretion of the teller to cash a check or not! I asked and what discretion would that be?! The guy had no reason not to. I smell good, I’m dressed nice, I conducted myself professionally. I have a professional desk job! Only thing I can think of is I am a minority! Don’t use PNC!

I had a car loan with PNC arranged by the dealer. I have never had an account or a loan with PNC before and what the heck. I traded the car on March 13 2019. The dealer had PNC fax over the 15 day payoff. So, we have it writing from PNC. I buy new car, Dealer pays off loan within 15 days (payment due on the 27th of March, 15th day after new car purchase). Plenty of time for the dealer to pay the old loan in full. What could wrong?
3 Days after the paid off loan payment was due, I get a call from an unknown number. I didn't answer, no voice message, another call same day, I didn't answer, no voice message. So I decided to look up the number. It was PNC. The next day another call from PNC, I was busy and didn’t answer and no voicemail. Again the same day, another call from PNC. This is 4 calls in 2 days, what the heck is going on. I answered. It was their collection department. Then proceeded to tell me I was late on my car payment (I have an 800 credit score, for a reason.) and demanded I make a payment over the phone now. I politely explained the car was traded and I will not be making a payment and the dealer has paid the loan in full and PNC collections department needs to check with their loan department.
I was then treated like a piece of loan dodging, criminal as they explained to me again my payment was late and I need to make it now. (Really? 3 days? Are you kidding me?) Well Again, I refused to make the payment (beware of this banking scam because if you think if you overpay you will get it back in 3 days, I doubt it, if you even see it) and then told them to never call me again that it is called collection harassment and against the law and if they had something they needed to communicate with me, then they could send me a letter of late notice. Again they said they would call me as much as they wanted and they were not breaking the law. (They are, I looked it up. Every state is different. In my state it is.)
I again explained the car was traded (a very reputable new car dealer). They said they didn’t care and again I need to pay them now. I again refused and told them to call the dealer. They told me to call. I hung up. Ok, I called the dealer. The dealer mailed them the payoff check on the 20th of March. 7 days after the trade and 7 days before the payment was due. They had the money. Ok, No more worries. Then the dealer looked up to see if the check had cleared, it hadn’t cleared. Come to find out, PNC sent the check back to the dealer stating it was short a few $$$ and wanted a new check for a specific amount.
Wait, this was all done with a 15 day payoff 7 days before maybe 4 or 5 before the 15 day payoff amount. How can this be? Scam? I think so. Milk the dealer for a few extra bucks knowing if they want the title, the dealer would have to pay the ransom. PNC could have cashed the check and asked for the balance before the title could have been sent. Come on PNC, it’s not like you have never closed a loan for a new car dealer before or the dealer is going to rip PNC off. So the next day the dealer sent another check for the amount requested using next day delivery.
The next day they called again, I didn’t answer, no voice message. They called again same day. (6 times in 3 days) So I answered again, same collection assault and tactics, rude, degrading, attitude and insulting. I then asked for a manager, which was like pulling teeth but they finally sent me to a manager but only after I had to repeat 15-20 time “transfer me to a manager”. Well, the manager was just as rude as the 1st tier grunts. I then proceeded to tell him to never contact me again. It was illegal, send me a letter if you need something. Again, they didn’t want to hear anything except how I was going to make a payment I didn’t owe that was 4 days past due but was paid.
Finally I was so mad I made it clear and confirmed it was being recorded (just in case I had to get a lawyer involved). I then stated, in no calm voice, they were never to contact me again via phone. They were in violation of collection laws. I knew they refused payment and sent the check back to the dealer just to try to collect more interest on a loan and even scam me out of addition payment money that I did not owe because when they sent the check back to the dealer, they were in fact refusing payment...
I told them if they ever called me again, my next conversation would be with a lawyer who would then contact them with a court date. Never, ever deal with bank, even if you have a higher interest rate. I will never deal with PNC again and I have advised everyone I know about this event and PNC scam tactics and practices.

I have been a co-signer on a student loan for nearly twenty years. Every time a payment needed to be made, I stepped up and made the payment. Then I became disabled and had to retire. Though I still made payments when I was required to do so. PNC decided the balance of about $4000 needed to be paid immediately. Since I had lost half of my income I couldn't pay that amount. However, I did pay $1000 that caught my nephew up on the account. At that time, the collection agency agreed that they would not report me to the Credit Bureau. That was lie #1. I tried to refinance my mortgage for lower interest, but cannot because of this.
I just spoke to Marcia from PNC, who said she could not remove this from my credit report. Lie #2. Lie #3 is that you would be informed of this reporting. Marcia didn't take into consideration all of the payments I'd made over the years, nor did she show an ounce of compassion. So all of my years of hard work, and excellent credit is down the tubes. Of course I do not recommend PNC Bank. And unfortunately, when Marcia gets old, she will remember why she has so many financial struggles. Miss Gail

I received a flyer from PNC with a $300 bonus offer for opening the Virtual Wallet with Performance Select Checking account. I met all of the requirements including the direct deposit from "an outside agency" totally more than $5,000 and using the debit card more than 10 times. Needless to say, I never received the promised bonus. Even after repeated calls to PNC and reporting the fraudulent advertising to the BBB, the bonus was never paid. If you open a checking account expecting to receive a bonus -- beware!

I came to this bank to withdraw money from my account. Instead I received rude, unprofessional, and incompetent services from the branch manager. When told they didn't have a sufficient amount of funds available -- I subsequently asked for a lower amount of $2500. The branch manager stayed in his chair and literally 'rolled' in his chair over to the teller I was working with and stated, 'I'm not giving you this amount of money, get it from the ATM.'
First I told him about his rude behavior then I explained to him the policy and procedures of his own banking system that you could not withdraw that much money from the ATM. I then had to tell this 'so-called' branch manager that the procedure was for him to call and verify the funds were available and then he had to give me my money! He did call to verify the funds after I told him what to do. I was then given my money. Mind you this was all in front of customers! Unbelievably incompetent for it to be a branch manager! I reported him immediately!

I've never been so disrespected or offended in my life by anyone or any business. Not only will I never bank here, but I will also be going out of my way to dissuade anyone from ever banking with PNC after how my friend and I were treated at PNC at this location in Bay City. My friend's husband passed away in a tragic car accident a few days ago, and a GoFundMe was being prepared, and my friend has no checking account so we ran to PNC before closing, about 15 minutes before close to ask if they could accommodate us because it was urgent and frankly an emergency because she was low on funds.
My friend has a 4-year-old son and is pregnant with her second. We told the banker about our situation, but he refused to help. He wasn't explaining why, and it came off like he didn't want to versus he couldn't. I got heated and explained the situation and asked if he could please make an exception this one time but he said there was nothing he could do and to come back in the morning. I was very upset and asked him why he couldn't help us, and the tellers overhearing the situation began laughing at me and my friend.
I turned and asked, "Are you really laughing at me?" I was holding back tears, and they replied, "Yes, we are laughing at how you're acting." I was stunned, disgusted, and disturbed. The banker, not coming to our defense in any way, showing no remorse, sympathy or even a shimmer of condolences hands her a PNC pen and says coldly, "You can do it yourself online if you want or come back in the morning."
I called PNC customer service to file a complaint and they explained to us that at 5 pm the system shuts down, and they wouldn't be able to complete the opening the checking account anyway. Finally! This is an explanation I could understand and work with, but that is not what the banker or the laughing tellers said whatsoever. It was a basic checking account and it was an emergency. The least the banker could have done is offered a sensible explanation to us rather than treat us like we were lying or inconveniencing him. It was a horrible feeling, and I felt so bad for my friend who just lost her husband. I've never been treated like this at any establishment in my entire life. Stay away from these heartless and unprofessional people, and go to Chase or even better yet, a community bank.

I managed to get 500 dollars from the branch of my own money from the branch to pay an emergency expense. Today, Monday, I have a zero balance. I phoned in, and their rep. said the funds will be available Wednesday! Tuesday, 100 dollars will be available. I said, how can this be? The check is drawn on PNC!!! They said, it is their standard policy. What a disgusting institution! If I close the account, there is a $25 early withdrawal penalty, so I need to wait 6 months.
After 6 months, I will close this account. Since PNC does respond to Better Business Bureau, I am considering complaining to my state's Department of Banking and Insurance. Hopefully, enough people will realize how devoid of honesty or integrity this bank is, and close their accounts en masse. If only I would have seen these overwhelming negative reviews of this bank to begin with, I could have saved myself so much aggravation.

I initiated a bank to bank transferor at Bank of America on the morning at around 6am. My bank informed me the next day March 6th that the transfer was completed and gave me the transaction number. Since I have been calling PNC bank savings representatives. They keep on telling they don’t know where the money is. On Friday of last I talk to a senior representative and he said not to worry and money will soon appear my account with interest from the day it got transferred.
Today the money is the account but no history of when got it. I called PNC bank and got another representative who informed me that hold my money for five days without any interest. This so crooked and no one told me that till today. I could not get a hold of the Manager apparently convenient not able to take the phone call. The representative however promised that she would call me within a 24 hr period. I think since PNC is NYSE traded stock I would call the SEC fraud department, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau and FDIC to let them know how PNC is defrauding millions of people with this practice.
It is absurd that the 6th largest bank would indulge in this fraudulent practice but then there was Wells Fargo. I will update what happened on this page. My advice to all is ask as many questions as possible and if you feel compelled to open an PNC account at least you have someone that told you all about the High Yield savings account. This so fraudulent that it would bring down the Bank.

I have banked with PNC for years and never had a problem until two weeks ago when my bank account was hacked and a large amount of money transferred out. In dealing with the fraud department and my local bank I am appalled at the lack of professionalism and total lack of communication between the fraud department and the bank. I caught the fraud the day the withdraws were made. I called the fraud department and was only able to speak with their credit card fraud as their account fraud department is not open 24/7 (I guess fraud only hits Monday - Friday 8-10 and Saturday until 4:30). The withdrawals were still pending. The credit card fraud representative told me it was obvious blatant fraud but he could only put a hold on my account and I would have to go to the bank the next morning to file a fraud report.
Next morning I went to the bank and it was such a joke. Nobody knew how to handle the fraud. “I’ve never seen this before” was a phrase I heard more than once. No hold had been put on my account. They tried calling the fraud department which was closed (this was a Saturday at 11 am EST). They told me they could not put the hold on my account and I would have to call fraud Monday morning to get a hold on my account. I asked them to withdraw my money from the hacked account to another account. They did and gave me receipts. Monday morning I called fraud and asked them to put a hold on my account. They told me my local bank needed to put the hold on my account. I had to call my local bank, who told me that I had to call the fraud department because they could not put a hold on my account. At this point I found out that the transfer of money in my hacked account was not complete.
My money had been left in the account unprotected for the fraudster to perpetuate. The lady at the bank reprimanded me that I should have done a cash transfer. The bank made the transfers for me! I just got a letter today saying that I rescinded my claims which I never did. I got the letter on a Saturday after the local bank and fraud department are closed. Almost my entire checking account was drained, and I am very disappointed with the lack of professionalism and communication of PNC. It should not be my job to be the intermediary between the bank and their own fraud department. Once I receive my money back I will be moving to another bank. I have lost all trust in the competency of PNC. Every other financial institution I work with has 24/7 customer service. Fraud does not work 9-5, neither should the fraud department.

My home loan was bought by PNC and I was already nervous by looking at all these reviews. Within 3 months I started receiving letters saying that my Hazard Insurance was not sufficient and to contact my Insurance company. I called my company and they checked and said that I'm actually OVER insured. So I call PNC and tell them this information and that they can check with my insurance company. They tell me "Oh, you need to be insured for the entire principal." I asked why, considering the last 3 companies that had my loan told me that you only need to be insured for the building and surrounding structures (which I am). I told him the difference is the land itself. I was told it needs to be the full loan. I think my response was, "Why? Because a sinkhole will appear and suck up my entire plots of land along with the house?"
I was given the usual line of "It's company policy, sir." Now I don't blame the client rep at all who remained professional and polite and I made it clear that my frustrations were not directed him. But I said, "I hope someone IS listening on this recorded line because your policies are ridiculous and I'm sorry you have to work with such a terrible company." He told me either I had to increase the coverage or they would take out coverage on my behalf and take the costs out of my escrow.
End of the story, I had to call my insurance company back and ask them to increase my coverage (much to their surprise). So now, I'm paying an extra $400 in premiums for something no other loan company asked from me and never had a problem with. The first opportunity I have I will be refinancing with another company and I advise anyone considering a loan to NOT use PNC.

I opened up a business checking account at the branch located at 2217 W Market St, Bloomington, IL 61705 with Branch Manager **. I opened up the account because I am new to the area and doing business there. I also started on another sub business under my current business which is a property preservation company. My sub was going to be business to business collection. I informed Mrs. ** that it was new to me and I knew very little about the workings of it worked but was learning how to do it. She asked me if I knew how much money would be going into the account. I told her I was not sure but I told her possibly big sums and doing wire transfers to pay the money to the company we were suppose to be working for.
I asked her how much could we deposit at one time and how long it would take for a check to clear, she said, "You can deposit any amount and for the first 30 days it will take 2 days for a check to clear because it was a new account, then after thirty days it will take 1 day for a check to clear." She said there were no holds on wire transfers, money orders and or cash. So I began my new business adventure and received, a check in the mail for over $79,000, I take it to PNC Bank the next day and deposit it. The gentleman that works there runs the check and begins to inform me there would be a longer hold on the check. Mrs. ** comes out of her office to say, "It could be but check your account in 2 days" before I spend anything further confirming she told me 2 day hold.
Now the reason the hold is important to me because I had already told the client that I was working for it would take 2 days for the check to clear, I did not care if it was 2, 5, or 10 days just give me the accurate information so I can inform my client when they would get paid. It resulted in me having to give them different dates which cost me the client because it appeared as if I didn't know what I was doing. The check was reversed back to the payees account by the payee and PNC Bank closed my account with no warning, no investigation till after the fact. They concluded and said the check that was received was fraudulent and although after 2 business days the check that was deposited was my ledger balance. Also PNC did not return or stop the check. They were not even aware that the check was reversed until I informed them.
So now if it was FRAUDULENT as they claimed how come the bank manager ** did not know it until I informed her that my payee reversed the check back to his account. So they closed my account made me pay for a bounce check that never bounced and sent me a cashiers check in my business name. I went to cash the cashiers check at the same location 2217 W Market St, Bloomington, IL 61705 only to be told they could not cash the CASHIERS CHECK THAT THEY SENT TO ME THE OWNER because it was in the business name oh and they wanted to charge me 2% to cash a cashiers check that they sent me.

Online banking is completely different than the app. The security is so high if you forget one detail your account will be locked and you'll have to call.

The interface is not user friendly especially for auto loan. You can't just click pay. You have to transfer money from one account to the next. Security questions are asked at every login so don't expect to quickly login and pay anything or see your account.

So I'll go make another $10 dollar purchase, instantly deducted, a pending transaction shows, main account balance shows $10. 20 - 10 = 10, yeah? So, the next day, I wake up and I have $-10 showing as my main account balance?!?! And I'm hit with overdraft fees. They are stealing money from people because they cannot accurately keep track of transactions.
Problem two - So I got the ** of this and decided to take my money out in cash as soon as I deposited a check leaving $5 in my account to avoid it being overdrafted or shut down. They will charge me $6 for some ** bank fee causing overdraft fees to occur. Problem three - deposit a check and they say it will be cleared the next day. Next day comes around, no money in my account. I have to wait and they charge me overdraft fees.
Problem Four - deposited a check and had the ability to make it an instant deposit. Paid the instant deposit fee, the transaction wasn't instant leaving me to wait until the next day and I'm still charged for the instant transaction fee. Problem Five - I wrote a bad review of this bank on Google Play, the next day my account is shut down and I'm on the phone for 9 hrs and talk to four different people who give me three different answers. I'm forced to go into their branch office and the guy tells me my account was shut down because I haven't deposited money into my savings account for 6 months so the system automatically shuts accounts down. **, I've had an account with this bank for years and never deposited money into my savings and never had a problem. They shut my account down because I wrote a bad review.
I'm currently waiting for my account to be overdrafted because of all the issues stated above, compounded together. I am now looking into starting the process of a class action lawsuit against PNC Bank for negligence and taking advantage of people, they are stealing money from people.

I am upset that fees are doubled when a non PNC atm is used. My account is constantly overdrawn due to atm fees that are posted after the dates the transaction was actually made, as well as a separate fee deducted from PNC bank per transaction. I constantly feel as though my money is being taken instead of protected. I regret ever banking with PNC Bank.

I have been banking with PNC since 2015. Ever since I have had this bank there is always a problem with my transactions & my card. When calling to speak the representatives they would bounce me back and forward from going to the branch bank & having to call them back; yet still couldn't help me with any of my situations. I have becoming outraged with this company because when first becoming a customer I received a different message then what I am getting. For example this morning I called the 1-888-PNCBANK because I found that my account was overdrawn by 34.66.
The overdraft fee for PNC is 34$. So I give a call to receive help and the young lady on the phone tells me, when becoming a customer they gave you all of your papers to read. WHOA ma’am. That's not how you speak to a customer early in the morning and even if it’s in the papers, this is your job to assist a customer. Further into the conversation, she’s says, "There is nothing we can do, you would have to go into a branch." I go to explaining my recent issues with going into the branch and calling and her reply was “well (pause) we can’t do anything so is there anything you need”. With a attitude like that I will be closing my PNC account. This isn’t the first time I have had a problem between my account & my representative, but I will not longer have that problem.

I have dealt with this company for over 40 years - both personal and business. I applied for a personal loan to purchase a new vehicle. I was told I would receive a lesser interest rate if the payment was "automatically deducted." Since it was a business vehicle, I wanted the deduction from my business account (TD Bank). Once it was time to sign the papers, they did the old "bait and switch" and swore they told me it had to be a PNC account and I would not be receiving the same interest rate initially quoted.
I asked them to review my conversation (recorded line) and they LIED telling me that I was specifically told that the payment had to be "from a PNC Account." I will be pulling all of my business from this bank, including my payment processing and personal checking account. The person with whom I dealt was Will **. He refused to allow me to listen to the taped line, even though the conversation was with me. Why? Because they were lying. I am done with this bank.

I recently leased a vehicle by applying for an auto loan with PNC Bank. Despite paying the car note on time I was bombarded with calls from the PNC collections department regarding payments that were already submitted on my end, but not reflected on PNC's end. As a means to end the continuous phone calls I made additional payments in hopes that it would be recorded so that the calls would stop. Fast forward a few days later I discover that my bank was debited two times the amount over. In an attempt to reverse the payment, I contacted the local branch.
Not only was I informed by the staff and a member of the re escalation team that I would receive a refund on a recorded line. I was also given a date. I provided bank statements that have detailed account information that shows all payments should be up to date. It has been almost two months and I've yet to see the refund check. Yet I still receive collection calls. It's really sad that PNC takes advantage of their consumers and tries to bully them into making payments that have already been submitted. I am truly sorry that I ever got into business with them. I work hard to keep everything current.

I had a situation where an automatic withdrawal from my checking was delayed by a holiday resulting in overdraft fees. I'm not angry about the fees themselves, it's how PNC compiled them. They claim they happen by automation... That's not totally true. When the first overdraft hit it was for a scientific amount. When the others hit they positioned them to get the maximum amount of fees they could. I saw the first payment that caused the first fee get pushed back so the smaller ones can go ahead of it. Here's the kicker, I stopped putting money in the account so these jackwagons changed my account status so they can start collecting 15 dollar fees for activity under 2000 a month AND DIDN'T TELL ME!

I had read a few concerning reviews but because of the highest available interest decided to go for it anyway. Terrible mistake. The approval of the account went smoothly but then the ongoing frustration continued to mount. Even though the account was approved, I couldn't transfer any money into the account for 5 business days. Now understand, I was trying to put the money in, not take it out. Once I was able to transfer money in, it had to be done in $75k increments per day. The maximum amount that can be deposited in 30 days is $250k. I wanted to deposit $375k. As you can see PNC seems to be doing everything possible to keep me from doing business with them.
By the way, I talked with several people with the bank, going all the way to management, and there was no willingness to allow me to move forward in depositing my $375k in their bank. So if you decide to go with them anyway, make sure you stay under the $75k amount and don't think PNC will make it easy. Just so you'll know, I was able to move my money into another bank just the way I wanted to do it without any of the above problems. Yes, it was a slightly lower interest rate but if there was this much trouble depositing the money in PNC, I can't imagine what other issues could have arose in trying to get my money out.

And subsequently was put on hold for more than 20 minutes while attempting to pay via a customer service representative, resulting in a late payment scenario. Background: PNC does offer a late payment exception but contains very strict guidelines. They employ a very inconvenient on time payment cutoff of 6 p.m. (E.S.T.)! I have 6-8 credit cards, with American Express, Citicards, Chase, & Bank of America among others, and in all cases there is a cut off time for on time payments with the earliest being 8 p.m. (E.S.T.) up to 11: 59 p.m. (E.S.T.)... very manageable and understandable.
I explained what caused my problem to pay my bill on time to the PNC representative I spoke with and the supervisor I requested. In both cases no attempt to understand the inability I had to make my payment on time due to a problem with PNC’s automated system as well as excessive hold time to reach a representative was acknowledged. They simply guided me to alternative payment options, for which, I had also made attempts in paying my credit card bill to no avail, explaining such to both persons employed by PNC. The result with both representatives was a less than sincere sounding: “I’m sorry that you had such an experience but there’s nothing we can do to change anything.”
Wow, that’s the epitome of customer service and a real effort to retain a long standing card holder as I am, as well as a PNC Bank customer of long standing! I strongly plead anyone reading this account to take heart in what my distasteful experience was and is with PNC credit card services, as it’s obvious that this corporation has taken advantage of a customer’s failure no matter the nature of unavoidable circumstances leading to such was. He/she clearly made no attempt to reconcile the problem in a satisfactory manner. As a result do I plead with you as a potential PNC customer to consider opening a credit card account instead with one of the alternatives listed above — you’ll be much more satisfied!

On Sept 3, 2018, I submitted forms with PNC Bank to start bi-weekly mortgage payments effective Oct 1, 2018. The bank told me this was not possible unless I opened a checking account. I reluctantly did so even though I did not need another checking account. Shortly, thereafter, I received a letter from the bank confirming that my application had been accepted.
In a letter dated Oct 9, 2018 and received on Oct 11, 2018, I received a letter from PNC stating in part, "You recently received a PNC Bi-weekly Draft Program Authorization form and we sent you a confirmation letter for this program. However, you failed to meet one of the required terms.... You are required to make that month's full payment at least two business days prior to the star of your bi-weekly drafts..." PNC then went on to apply a late charge of about $70 for my missed mortgage payment that was due on Oct 1st. The bank eventually removed the late charge after I filed a complaint. Now I find that PNC also cancelled my long standing ETF automatic transfer feature and I have to submit forms to reapply to have my mortgage payments handled automatically. This is not a bank that cares in the least about the interests and well being of their customer.

On Friday 10/26/2018, I visited PNC Bank located at 340 Madison Avenue, New York NY 10173 and I used the ATM to deposit funds into my account. The ATM malfunctioned by accepting my deposit but the transaction was not completed as my receipt was not printed nor was the funds credited to my account. An error message came on the screen of ATM machine stating that no more than 50 bills can be entered at a time and the machine returned only a small portion of my deposit but kept the majority of my deposit. My deposit was under 20 counted bills. The machine then read that ‘service has been called’. I called out for someone at the branch to assist and was ushered to a banker who informed me that there was nothing that he could do since the bank does not service the ATMs and proceeded to call into the claims department.
I was visibly upset because the deposit was intended to pay bills that was due. The claims representative on the phone could not offer any assistance other than inform me that it will take 10 business days for an investigation and for my funds to be credited to me. Ten days later does not help me! I asked the banker if he could view the cameras to confirm my deposit and he responded no. I then asked to speak with the Branch Manager and I was told that the manager already left for the day, so he was the only one who could offer assistance in which he did not! I left the branch upset of course and I went to Wells Fargo to deposit the remainder of my funds that I intended for PNC.
At Wells Fargo I advised the banker what happened and he stated that I should’ve been offered Provisional Credit due to the situation and advised that I file a complaint. I called my best friend who previously worked in the banking field and she stated the same as Wells Fargo and also stated that this was standard procedure. Why was I not offered Provisional Credit at PNC? The banker at PNC did not care and was relieved when I left the bank. Once this issue clears up, I will not continue my business with the bank. I will also inform my friends and my colleagues in the insurance industry my experience. This horrible experience should not be repeated.

No response to request for follow up - I've had an account for 32 years. Recently had fees applied I disagreed with and called expecting assistance. Spoke with two very rude reps, so called my branch. In both cases I was told I'd get a call back regarding my complaint. That was 5 days ago. Description: I made 7 or so purchases each less than $3 after confirming my bank balance. The following day I saw a bill payment that legitimately put my account in overdraft, but it was listed between the several small purchases. PNC then added $36 overdraft fees to 2 of the $3 transactions. I will not stay with a bank willing to lose a long term customer due to $72 false fees.

I decided to give this bank a second chance after having to close an account because they would not stop withdrawals from a scam operation. I opened an account for a non-profit organization and after jumping through a lot of hoops, the account was opened. A month or so later, I received notice that the account was being closed. I asked why and they told me to go to my local branch. The local branch said that I had to sign a few more papers which I did. Today I received a check saying that the account was closed with no explanation. This is the worse bank I've ever dealt with.

I had given my savings account by accident to my rental portal instead of my checking account. I had called because the portal kept taking money and did a stop payment from everything from that company. Well, the first rep only did a stop payment for the rent amount and not everything that was supposed to come from that company! So the portal tried to take out a fee for $20 and that kept giving me NSF fees three times. When I called again the second rep stated the first rep didn't do a stop payment for everything! So he did but fees kept coming out and today when I called a manager at escalation he refused to understand and listen that the first rep didn't do the entire job like he was supposed to. Otherwise nothing should be allowed to come from the portal!
Those fees should be taken care of by PNC but he wouldn't listen and kept saying, "I'm sorry there isn't anything more I can do. I won't reimburse the NSF because you did call in twice before but it takes a few days from the actual date you put the stop payment through before the NSF is activated, sorry can't help you!" That is what he kept saying, said he understood but he just said that, they all say that but if he did he would have helped and he didn't. So because the first rep didn't do his job I have to pay for it? Thanks but no thanks... I can see why PNC only has a one star rating!

The phone customer service was exceptional. The associate showed empathy about any the wait time as a result of slow network issues. Nevertheless, I was charged an overdraft because I had inputted the information of my savings account instead of my checking entirely by mistake. I explained to them that I obviously had money in my checking account and that it obviously wasn't intentional yet, they rejected forgiving my fee because I had been forgiven before (more than a year ago) and that somehow barred me from getting more. These overdraft fees were never intentional and were a result of a school loan system that would continually change my account without permission and the business would not return the deducted amount. It's ridiculous what businesses are allowed to get away with nowadays!

Worst service! I used the PNC App and tried to pay my credit card. The App had a feature of “Pay my Bills”. I transferred the money and it took five days to send it. Then the PNC customer representative promised me that he would help me remove the late fee. Today when I checked my account. The late fee was not refunded. I called them. The representative named Austin (in the acceleration support team) told me he could not help and later hung up my phone call. Since PNC could not help, why did they say they would previously? I was shocked by Austin’s attitude because never had I met such a rude customer support!

I have been an account holder for years since PNC took over RBC with whom I had been a long-term customer. I have personal and business accounts. Last month the bank canceled my 2 business accounts and personal account without notice. This caused numerous recurring payments to bounce and prevented me from accessing cash while traveling in Mexico, during the week it happened. Upon return, I was advised that my accounts were closed because the bank was missing information regarding my citizenship (I am a green card holder) and I needed to take various pieces of ID to the local branch. Which I did. After an hour with the local rep, and him on the phone with HQ, it was determined that they did, in fact, have all the ID on file and that the accounts should not have been closed in the first place!
I was advised that the total amount of funds (approx $50k) were being sent to me via cashier's checks and that I could redeposit them after I received them. 2 days later, while back in the branch the rep came to me to say the checks had NOT been sent at all, but that the funds had been restored into my account. Evidently, they had no idea where the money was, let alone what they were doing. The local rep did advise that he would request a refund of the charges I incurred for the bounced payments. This remains to be seen. I also am concerned that my personal credit history will be affected by this. Regardless, not only was I put in a difficult position while traveling with no access to cash, I have spent several hours of my time sorting out a mess that was theirs to start with and should never have happened in the first place. This is inexcusable.

One typographical error, one penny short, caused us to have our health insurance cancelled for three months in arrears.

We received a confirmation that the check was issued and sent two days before the due date. Received our next statement and found out that the credit card company never received the check and assessed us interest fees. We always pay our bill in full every month.

I've been a customer for 10+ years, but due to some recent major problems, I am now taking steps to close my account for good. The first problem: I fell on hard times this January because I did not get paid that month, so I bounced some checks. I got charged fees, which is understandable. However, I had a hard time paying back the fees, so it led to Continuous OD charges that added up fast. I ended up losing over $200 in fees because of this. When I finally got paid, what I owed plus the fees came out. Since this, it's been a long uphill battle of trying to catch up: I keep falling short, overdrawing, and then get charged even more fees. According to my last statement, I have amassed over $900 worth of OD and COD fees this year. That is not counting returned check fees or stop payment fees.
I tried to discuss this with PNC multiple times, but they keep giving me the run-around. They suggest features that have NOTHING to do with my situation ("have you considered paying your bills through online banking?") or tell me to sign up for OD protection - which I can't do because I don't have the money for a savings account, and they won't approve me for the credit card. I even signed up for an escalation and the guy that was supposed to call me asked for my availability - then proceeded to completely ignore it and called when I wasn't available.
The second problem: a payday loan company I did business within the past randomly deducted over $600 from my account. I only learned about this when I got a text message alert about it. I called - which is what they say you are supposed to do - and the CSR basically told me that I had to wait until it was cleared to dispute it, which could take days. I later was told by a lawyer that I have the right to revoke ACH permission to that company, so I chatted with a CSR online to talk about it. Surprise surprise, she acted like she had no idea what I was talking about and basically said that I can't stop people from yanking money out of my account. That was the last straw. I'm taking steps to close my account with PNC and I will be taking my business elsewhere. They have let me down for the last time. We are done.

I have dealt with this bank for 3 years and will now be closing my account. I made a cash deposit after hours for a bill that would be automatically taken out the following day. The ATM ate the money without crediting it to my account. The next day, the bill was withdrawed, overdrafting my account and charging a 35$ overdraft fee. After over an hour on the phone explaining the situation, I was told that I would have to file a dispute to get my money back. The woman was very helpful and ensured me that the money would be credited back right away.
The money was credited quickly, but they refused to waive the overdraft fee. I went in person to my local branch to talk to someone about getting the fee waived that same day and was told that I should have taken precautionary measures and the fees were my responsibility. On top of the 35$ fee, they informed me that they would charge an additional 7$ a day for each day the account remains overdrawn. This was all apparently part of an overdraft protection plan that I had declined when opening my account. This bank is a joke and does not care at all about their customers. They charge fee after fee and offer absolutely no protection for customers' accounts. Me and my family will no longer be doing banking with them. I've already had multiple friends that have closed accounts for similar reasons.

PNC is the worst bank I've ever dealt with. I opened an online bank account called a "virtual wallet" with PNC 12 days ago (08/23/2018).

HOW many more mistakes are you allowed to make before it is ok to close my account without fees.

Second: I have been living and working mostly overseas. In the past year have been transferring about 4k USD a month into my Virtual Wallet primary account without a glitch. I am stating this as it is THE ONLY change I had in dealing with my accounts for many years. In June I was notified via mail that my VW accounts would be closed. I called the CS number and was told that it was due to inactivity. I told them there was activity, and explained fully everything that I do with the accounts. They then told me as long as they were being used in the way I described the accounts would not be closed.
So being assured by the CS representative, I jumped on a plane thinking all was okay with my banking partner for the past two decades... Another few weeks go by while overseas and I get email notices that my bank card was being rejected. Another call to the CS... "Oh, the card was cancelled for a reason that could not be disclosed." I said, “Well, reactivate the card”... “NO CAN DO, must send a new one.” “Okay, here is my overseas address”... "Cannot be sent to an overseas address." WHAT? Okay...relax...take a deep breath. I should be okay without the card, I don’t use the card in ATM's and as long as the accounts were okay I would be fine (still overseas). Rep says the accounts are still no problem...I say okay, thank the CS rep and get back to my overseas work...
Another week goes by, now my relative in the US that checks my mail says they have received account closure notice and certified checks with my closed account balances. REALLY? REALLY?

Then later they asked for my wife and we put her on the phone via Kakao Talk. Then they would email me. The area manager called me twice to try and resolve. They unblocked the account but did not raise the limit. I had asked for two days what the problem is. They then asked they had to speak to my wife directly. So I went to the bank and via Kakao video they spoke to my wife. She said among other things that they can speak to me. The manager Marit ** said after wife spoke her that she will put the request in again to raise the limit and get back to me.
Mind you the first reason they denied it was because we were a new account but they knew what we wanted to do when we opened the account. Now because no bank in Korea would do a cash advance my wife had to do ATM withdrawals but need to raise the limit. I didn't hear for a day so I sent an email No response. I sent another email the next day No response. I went in the bank and now the manager Marit ** tells me. "We can not respond to you only your wife." (Btw they still have not responded to the request to raise the limit) . But she was talking to me for the past 7 days and talked to me after my wife said ok as well. But they are just rude and disrespectful especially Marit **. I wonder how she got this job as manager Just totally unprofessional and disrespect.

I only wish the CEO or CFO read this complaint. I have used your online service. It needs an overhaul, I have gone into your banks. They are the worst. From the time you walk in the door to the time you leave. I have called your 1-800 number. They are great at not having a clue thus they put you on hold and transfer you to someone else who has no clue, I call your executive office. They do not care that I spend time away from my family to resolve an issue due to your bank errors and they do not respond to the better BBB.
I asked them to please inform you that I was closing all my account and would be willing to do any survey that would be helpful to you. Not for my benefit but for every customer that count on you. I cannot find one single thing that your banks does well except make the customer always wrong. I hope folks who are on fixed incomes or need the funds for emergency from your bank are not impacted by your poor customer service. I have tried my best to provide feedback in the most professional way possible but your executive response team does not care.
Updated on 07/28/2018: Was told they are aware of not 1 but 3 mistakes they made on my account. They are sorry. Great. How about letting me close all the accounts without a penalty. They say, "No. We treat everyone the same." Lol! So one can get bad service and you could do nothing for 3 years because they cannot be nice to you. My only option is to hire attorney.

Opened an account. A check was returned. Made a deposit in cash to cover it. They closed my account. Not a warning. Nothing said. Worst bank in the world. Take out your money and go to another bank, every time you call customer service they tell you something else. Let them stay in New Jersey.

I work the night shift and do online banking around 3am. I am getting this message "Transaction history is currently unavailable. Please wait a few minutes and try again" every day. I can log in but unable to do transactions. There should be a front-end message if the site has a problem or going thru a maintenance. There is a no customer service available until during the day. It is very frustrating!

So I sign up for this crummy bank because they were offering $200 as a sign up bonus as long as you open a bank account with $1500 and keep it for two months. So what happened after two months? I began to get a maintenance fee. How convenient for them. Complete B.S. I will fight for my sign up fee and flee with my money.

I hate this bank. They do not care about their customers at all!!! I will never tell anyone to go here. I've been a customer for many years and they could care less!!! When your acct is overdrawn they wait till you get a fee then they email you instead of emailing you so you can fix it!!! Not to mention the rude ** I talk to on the phone!!! This is only one of many issues I've had with this dirty bank. They are in it for the money and say ** you to their customers everyday!!! DO NOT BANK HERE EVER!!! YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED!!! ** YOU PNC BANK YOU SUCK!!!

PNC Review. I had several items that had been charged to my debit card and I decided to dispute them. I was in Myrtle Beach at the time but was going to Italy for several months for work. I spoke to the escalations department and they told me they could either mail me the forms that needed to be filled out or I could come into my local branch. I told them I wanted to come to my local branch since I was going Italy for several months and getting mail over there is always a challenge.
So I filled out the forms with a bank agent called Zane. He also told me that I needed to file a complaint to with the housing department. The information he gave me was false and cost me a lot of time and frustration trying to do what he said. He then denied that he told me to do that. He also failed to submit the forms I filled out and the letters were sent to my old address and never reached me. So the charges were put back onto my account.
I called PNC customer service about this and they said we would have to re submit the claims which was time consuming but I did it. The PNC employee also told me I could change my address to my Italian address by simply faxing a signed letter requesting that which I promptly did only to find out that once again I had wasted my time carrying out incorrect information. I then contacted the escalation department only to find everyone out of the office and when I finally did get someone to help me. They told me the time was up and there was nothing to be done. I had lost over $1,000 due to the negligence of the PNC employees. I have taken out a complaint but as of yet have had absolutely no response from anyone at the bank. I am deeply disturbed my the unprofessionalism of PNC Bank and strongly suggest people to steer clear of using them.

Ok let me start by saying when I first opened acct they was running a promotion. I found out about online but once I went into bank they didn’t tell me about it. Get home call. They tell me I have to close acct and reopen when I had already set up automatic deposits with my job and my human resource dept is located in Denver. I am in Alabama so that was going to be a process and they still wouldn’t waive it and give me the promotion. That was my first flag. When I used my card somewhere and they took it off but then the transaction was missing and showed up days later. Acct got drafted. Was charged NSF fee 36$ and 7$ each day it was in the negative and from what I have read I am not the only one. Wished I had seen this a year or so ago.

These are the times we live in now. Where it's ok for the teller at PNC bank to put your hard earned money into someone else's account. Took three phone calls to get it sorted out because she simply did not want to deal with it. Now my account is less than 20.00 and I have three more days of gas and food to provide for a family and how does one make it on that? How do they think this is ok? Why should I have to wait on money that should have been deposited two and a half weeks ago. Why should my family suffer for their mistake? I seriously cannot even believe this. Shame on you PNC!

PNC Bank requirements to automate loan payments grows ever more convoluted and obscure. The customer cannot automate future payments in any amount beyond minimum payment due. Today, a conversation with customer service I learn that the customer cannot make a payment from an external checking account (transfer funds from an external account). When I asked to speak with a supervisor I got a voicemail from one Kelly - who does not work on Fridays!!! What sort of financial institution is this? I echo an earlier commentator: my loan was transferred to PNC. I have never had a good experience with this bank. They always want to know "the amount of my last payment" - something I can't always remember. And if you can't remember - they can't help you.

Here's the cute trick PNC Bank is playing: Say that you made a $1,000 deposit today. Say that you have written three checks, each for $200, that are also presented to the bank today. PNC will allow $100 of your $1,000 deposit to be credited to your account at 11:59 PM. Then, they will present the three checks for $200 each against your account at 11:59 PM. Since you don't have the money in your account to cover the checks, they will charge you a bounce fee of $36 for each check. Then, ONE MINUTE LATER, at 12:00 AM, they will credit the remaining $900 of your deposit to your account. And they cover the three checks so they are not returned (how nice of them, ha), but you just paid them $108 (3 times $36) in bounce fees. What a great bank this is! I wonder where they learned this slick nasty trick? Stay away from this bank!
