Don’t Fall for Digital Payment Scams!

If you suspect that you've received a fraudulent text or e-mail that appears to be from PNC Bank:

Safety Tips for Sending Money with Zelle®

Don’t Click! Fraudulent Text Messages are on the Rise

PNC will never send a text message to you from an email or a phone number. Valid PNC text messages will be sent by five- or six-number “short codes.”

If ever contacted by someone claiming to be from PNC, contact us from a different channel – phone, text, email – and verify before engaging.
