Why are we different?
We present our clients with solutions that reflect best practices based on knowledge of other clients and industry developments and a deep understanding of their different industry sector. Our approach is organized around client needs, not products — which helps us deliver more efficient service, seamless transaction execution and opportunities for our clients to lower borrowing costs.
Our regional approach to doing business provides us with a keen understanding of the local and national economic factors affecting each client. We are responsible and professional; we care about our clients' success and the success of the communities they serve, wherever they are in the United States.
PNC’s Public Finance group is committed to serving the financial needs of public sector entities of all types and sizes, from state and local governments, school districts and transportation authorities to institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations.
Work with a Financial Leader
PNC combines the size, scale and capabilities of a large national commercial and investment bank with the values and community focus of a Main Street bank.
PNC has committed $18.9 billion[1] to governments, nonprofits and higher education institutions through balance sheet tools including loans, direct placements, lines and letters of credit, stand-by bond purchase agreements and other structures to support the capital and operating needs of public finance entities across our footprint. PNC brings a best-in-class delivery model based on the organization of credit products and risk teams around specific client sectors.
Over the past five years, we have raised capital and provided bond underwriting and investment banking services for 1,840 municipal bond issuances totaling $186.2 billion in municipal securities.[2] And we’re growing — in the past year, we’ve seen a growth of 15% in credit product capital commitments.[2] That ranks us among the largest and most active public finance firms in the nation.

Allocation of Callable Securities Your account may contain “callable” securities, which allow the issuer to repurchase or redeem the securities by a specified date. In the event of a partial redemption or call of securities by the issuer, PNC Capital Markets LLC will allocate among its customers, the securities being selected as called, on a fair and impartial basis through a randomized lottery system.

Notwithstanding the foregoing statements, PNC Capital Markets LLC will further ensure equitable allocation of the callable securities by excluding itself as well as its interested persons from the lottery system when the redemption is made on terms that are favorable to PNC Capital Markets LLC; and including itself as well as its interested persons in the lottery system when the redemption is made on terms that are unfavorable to PNC Capital Markets LLC.
