Before you can use Zelle with PNC, you will need:

You can use your existing PNC Virtual Wallet® or PNC Personal Checking account. If you do not have a Virtual Wallet account or a PNC Personal Checking account, apply for one here »

A PNC Online Banking
User ID.

To set up a PNC Online Banking User ID, you need to be enrolled in PNC Online Banking. If you are not enrolled in PNC Online Banking, enroll here »

A PNC mobile app installed on your Apple or Android mobile device.

Enroll in Zelle by using a PNC mobile app. If you do not have either the PNC Virtual Wallet App or the PNC Mobile Banking[2] App, download your preferred PNC app here »
