Savings

Answers to commonly asked questions about PNC Savings accounts.

Review Features & Fees associated with your savings product

To confirm which product type you have, sign on to PNC Online Banking and view the “My Accounts Summary” screen.

Sign on to Online Banking and follow these 3 simple steps.

  1. Select Transfer Funds[8] from the top navigation.
  2. Then, select Between My PNC Accounts.
  3. Select accounts, frequency and amount to set up the transfer between your PNC Checking and PNC Savings accounts.

Money market accounts often have higher minimum deposit or balance requirements than regular savings accounts, but they offer higher returns. The interest rates an account offers might vary, depending on the amount of money within it.

Account linking is when you tie your Standard Savings or Premiere Money Market to a select PNC checking account. This allows you to possibly avoid a monthly service charge and earn Relationship Rates.

You earn higher Relationship Rates when you link to a select PNC checking account and meet the following transactional requirements:

  • To qualify for the Relationship Rate, you must meet one of the following requirements during the previous calendar month on the Virtual Wallet with Performance Spend, Virtual Wallet with Performance Select, Standard Checking, Performance or Performance Select Checking account you have chosen to link: (a) have 5 or more PIN and/or point-of-sale transactions (excluding cash advances) using your PNC Visa® consumer debit card or your linked PNC Visa consumer credit card, or (b) have $500 or more in qualifying direct deposits to your Standard Checking account (Standard Savings only), $2,000 or more ($1,000 for PNC WorkPlace Banking® or Military Banking customers) in qualifying direct deposits to your Virtual Wallet with Performance Spend account or Performance Checking account, or $5,000 or more in qualifying direct deposits to your Virtual Wallet with Performance Select Spend account or Performance Select Checking account. Starting with the calendar month following the month when you open your account and monthly thereafter, whether the account earns the Standard or the Relationship Rate for the entire calendar month will be determined on the first of the month based upon the number of qualifying transactions for the previous calendar month. A qualifying direct deposit is a recurring electronic deposit made by an employer or outside agency. Transfers made from one account to another or deposits made via a branch, ATM, online transfer, mobile device or the mail are not eligible to meet this requirement.
  • If there are changes to the linked checking account you have chosen to link (it is closed, changed to a new account type or no longer linked to your Standard Savings or Premiere Money Markey account), you may no longer qualify for a Relationship Rate, or the rates may otherwise change to those in effect at the time of the change.
  • We will only link accounts at your direction. If you have not directed PNC to link another account to your Standard Savings or Premiere Money Market account, the accounts will not be linked, and you will not receive a Relationship Rate or any applicable waivers of the monthly service charge on your account.

Your money is FDIC insured to the maximum permitted by law.
