Spend & Reserve Wisely

Flexible checking accounts that can
help simplify your spending plan.

 

See what's free to spend

Your Free Balance helps you do the math by subtracting bills you've scheduled and expenses that you've tracked from your available Spend account balance. It’ll also show you potential Danger DaysSM, when your Spend account is at risk of being over overdrawn.

With your Money Bar®, you’ll see how much is available to spend with your Free Balance, what you’ve set aside for bills and how much you’re saving in your Reserve goals.

 

Plan your bills and expenses

On your Calendar, you’ll see upcoming paydays and payments that you've set up, and a history of your posted Spend account transactions. You can pay bills, schedule bill reminders, and see potential Danger Days.

Use your Reserve account to set aside money for things you’ll need later. Then, easily move that money to the Spend account when you need it.

 

Stay on track with budgets

When you use your PNC debit card or included PNC Credit Card, you can see where you're spending your money with categories like shopping, restaurants, gas and more.

Create budgets and set up alerts so you know if you’re staying on track.

Grow Your Savings

A savings account with tools that help
you to bring your goals within reach.

Automate your savings

Set up automatic savings rules to move money to your Reserve or Growth account on a regular basis, like when you receive a paycheck.  Build your savings by taking advantage of competitive interest rates, including earning the higher relationship rate on the Growth account.[1]

Make saving fun

Realized you have some extra money and want to save it on the fly? Punch the Pig®!

The amount is customizable and it will transfer to your Reserve or Growth account.

Work toward your goals

Start saving for the things you want and put money away for what you need. Track your progress toward your goals and move the money to your other accounts when you’re ready.

Digital Banking

Manage your money the way you want.

Manage your money with our Online and Mobile Banking tools. Virtual Wallet is available through our app or on the web from your desktop, tablet or phone, helping you plan your finances the way that’s most comfortable for you.
 

Send money with Zelle® »

Sending money is easy with Zelle and PNC. With an email address or mobile phone number, you can quickly send money to people you trust, regardless of where they bank in the U.S.[2]
 

Mobile Check Deposit »

You can deposit checks using the phone or tablet app.[3]
 

Transfer Money »

Transfer money easily between your PNC accounts in Online Banking or the Virtual Wallet app. You can also use Online Banking to transfer money between your PNC accounts and non-PNC accounts.[4]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a qualifying direct deposit?

A qualifying direct deposit is a recurring electronic deposit made by an employer or an 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.

Is this your zip code?

PNC product and feature availability varies by location. By using your zip code, we can make sure the information you see is accurate.

Important Legal Disclosures and Information

  1. If you make at least five qualifying purchases in a month with your linked consumer Visa® Debit Card and/or PNC consumer credit card, or set up a qualifying monthly direct deposit of at least $5,000 for Virtual Wallet with Performance Select, $2,000 ($1,000 for PNC WorkPlace Banking® or Military Banking customers) for Virtual Wallet with Performance Spend, or $500 for Virtual Wallet, you’ll earn the corresponding relationship rate on your Growth account for the following month. Transactions are considered to be made when the transaction posts to the Spend or credit card account, which may be later than the date you initiated the transaction. 

    We will only link accounts at your direction. If you have not directed PNC to link another account to your Virtual Wallet, the accounts will not be linked and you will not receive a relationship rate, applicable waivers of monthly service charges or other relationship benefits on your unlinked PNC accounts. The requirement that you direct us to link accounts in order for you to receive benefits applies to all of your PNC accounts.

  2. Zelle should only be used to send or receive money with people you trust. Before using Zelle to send money, you should confirm the recipient's email address or U.S. mobile phone number. Neither PNC nor Zelle offer a protection program for authorized payments made with Zelle. Zelle is available to almost anyone with a bank account in the U.S. Transactions typically occur in minutes between enrolled users. If the recipient has not enrolled, the payment will expire after 14 calendar days.

  3. PNC does not charge a fee for Mobile Banking. However, third party message and data rates may apply. These include fees your wireless carrier may charge you for data usage and text messaging services. Check with your wireless carrier for details regarding your specific wireless plan and any data usage or text messaging charges that may apply. Also, a supported mobile device is needed to use the Mobile Banking App. Mobile Deposit is a feature of PNC Mobile Banking. Use of the Mobile Deposit feature requires a supported camera-equipped device and you must download a PNC mobile banking app. Eligible PNC Bank account and PNC Bank Online Banking required. Certain other restrictions apply. See the mobile banking terms and conditions in the PNC Online Banking Service Agreement.

  4. Federal regulation prohibits you from making more than a total of 6 transfers each month to other accounts from a savings or money market account (including transfers to another account for overdraft protection) or to third parties each month by check, through point-of-sale purchase transactions with a banking card, by preauthorized or automatic agreements, telephone, or online. See your account agreement for more information. Other limits may apply to your account. Excessive transactions may result in changing your Money Market or Savings account to a non-interest bearing checking account.

  5. When depositing checks at an ATM, you may receive an offer to choose PNC ExpressFunds, an optional service that makes your funds available faster for certain purposes. There is a fee for this optional service. If you decline the offer, you will still be able to make your deposit.

  6. For additional information, see the Virtual Wallet Features and Fees or Consumer Schedule of Service Charges and Fees.

  7. Offers are available from participating merchants. Your personal banking information is not shared with the merchants participating in PNC Purchase Payback. Whether you receive offers may depend on using your PNC Visa Card, or where you use your PNC Visa Card to make purchases. Not everyone will get the same offer.

  8. Virtual Wallet Student has no minimum balance requirement or monthly service charge for active students for six years from the date of account opening. You may be asked to provide proof of active enrollment in a qualifying educational institution. At the end of the six years, your account will be converted to Virtual Wallet and subject to the Virtual Wallet Features and Fees in effect at that time. If you transfer this account to a different product or account type during the first six years, you will forfeit the benefits of the Virtual Wallet Student account and will not be able to transfer back to the Virtual Wallet Student account. 

  9. Virtual Wallet Student accounts will receive an automatic courtesy refund of the fee for the first Overdraft or Returned Item event. (Spend account only) Although the fee may be refunded, the transaction will be considered an overdraft or nonsufficient funds (NSF) occurrence when determining any subsequent overdraft or NSF fee. You will be responsible for paying the overdraft balance and the Continuous Overdraft Fee may apply if the account remains overdrawn after the first event.

* Annual Percentage Yield (APY) accurate as of 1/15/2020. The minimum balance to earn interest on your Growth account is $1.00.  We may refuse or return any deposit amount causing the combined balance of all of your PNC accounts to exceed $5,000,000 (including any jointly owned, or in the case of an account owned by a living trust, jointly managed accounts).

Rates and APYs may vary and may change after account opening. Fees may reduce earnings. Available in eligible markets.  Business accounts not eligible.
