Benefit from Nationwide, Client-Centered Support

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 the largest national commercial and investment banks with the values and community focus of a Main Street bank.

PNC has committed more than $16.8 billion to governments, nonprofits and higher education institutions through balance sheet tools including loans, direct placements, lines and letters of credit, SBPA 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 more than 2,100 municipal bond issuances totaling more than $187 billion in municipal securities.[1] That ranks us among the largest and most active public finance firms in the nation.
