PNC Bank

Pretty
Nice &
Convenient
I signed up for this bank a few years ago & so far I have not been disappointed. Most of the locations are new so when you walk in it doesn’t look like some old dump. PNC became a bigger bank when they merged with National City bank so they have expanded & opened up more locations over the past few years.
The one thing I really like about the PNC banks is that their ATM’s will let you withdraw money in increments of $ 1 or more. Most ATM’ s only let you withdraw money in increments of $ 20 or more. Some of the bigger banks are starting to equip their ATM’s with the technology to do this but PNC has been doing this for a few years now.
Other than that they do offer a checking account with zero monthly fees as long as you only use the ATM’s or online banking.
Another plus about this bank is that their online app is pretty good & is user friendly. I was surprised when I see some other apps that banks have & how out of date they seem. They do not have a feature that is similar to quick pay yet.
Overall most of their banks are new & their customer service is pretty good especially if you call the customer service. Their online banking & mobile apps are pretty good & up to date. This specific location is convenient & the lines aren’t too long for the ATM’s.

In my quest for a second checking account for my business, I checked into PNC Bank. I met with Karrie, a personal banker (Financial Sales Consultant if you want to get hung up on titles), and she was very friendly, personable and professional.
Karrie took the time to explain two options to me: their most popular, the «virtual wallet,» and free checking. PNC offers free checking accounts, but with a price: you have to have direct deposit. I was looking for a secondary account which wouldn’t be receiving a steady, bi-​weekly paycheck, so this option didn’t work out for me. But basically as long as you have a J-​O-​B, PNC offers a solid option for free checking.
The virtual wallet is a checking account combined with a short-​term savings and a long term savings. This sounds a little too fancy and complex for me, my goal was to find something where I could deposit a few willy nilly profits from a home-​party business (which has since FLOPPED). But this 3-​in-​1 account dealie is worth it if you like all your money in one place, but technically it’s 3 places, so you won’t blow Little Susie’s college fund at the casino.
PNC is a great neighborhood bank with a bunch of west suburban locations.
