Inside Online Banking
Save, Share and Spend
'S' is for Savings helps your child learn about and practice saving, sharing and spending money through an interactive, online experience along with tips on learning financial basics from Sesame Street.
Sign on to Online Banking and select the 'S' is for Savings account. You will see a table with three jars: one for savings, one for sharing and one for spending. When you add money to the account, it appears on the table, where it's ready to be placed into any of the three jars, depending on how your child wants to use it. As part of the experience, you and your child can move money around as often as you like to reinforce the concepts of saving, sharing and spending.
The Learning Center
Visit the Learning Center within the 'S' is for Savings experience for financial basic tips from your favorite Sesame Street characters. It also includes a number of activities you and your child can do together to build on the basic money concepts learned through the outreach initiative, For Me, for You, for Later: First Steps to Spending, Sharing, and Savings.
At PNC, we think starting early is important. And we're committed to helping kids start off right with financial education. That's why we offer tools to help you teach your child basic money concepts.

Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each customer that opens an account. What this means for you: when you open an account, we will ask you your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying information.
Important Legal Disclosures and Information
See the Account Agreement for Personal Checking, Savings and Money Market Accounts - Interest Payment and Balance Computation section for details.
Transaction fees will apply to your account if you exceed six (6) Restricted Transfers in a monthly service charge period. Restricted Transfers are transfers from a savings or money market account to other accounts (including transfers to another account for overdraft protection) or to third parties by check, through point-of sale purchase transactions or similar debit card transactions, by pre-authorized or automatic agreements, telephone, online or similar order payable to a third person. If you make more than a total of six (6) Restricted Transfers in a monthly service charge period, you will be charged a fee for each Restricted Transfer. See your account agreement and fee schedule for more information. Other limits may apply to your account. We reserve the right to suspend enforcement of these transaction limitations, or to modify them, at our discretion.
