Online Banking is free to customers with an eligible account; however there may be a fee for certain optional services. We reserve the right to decline or revoke access to Online Banking or any of its services. All online banking services are subject to and conditional upon adherence to the terms and conditions of the Digital Services Agreement.
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 Digital Services Agreement.
PNC doesn’t currently charge a fee to send or receive money with Zelle^®. However, your enrolled PNC account may incur overdraft fees, monthly service charges, and other fees as described in your account fee schedule.

Zelle^® should only be used to send or receive money with people you know and 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^® offers purchase protection for payments made with Zelle^® – for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for, or the item is not as described or as you expected. 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. See the PNC Zelle Terms of Use for additional terms and conditions. Use of Zelle^® is subject to and conditional upon adherence to the terms and conditions of the PNC Zelle^® Terms of Use.

To send payment requests or split payment requests to a U.S. mobile number, the mobile number must already be enrolled with Zelle^®.
Enrollment in any combination of additional Cash Flow Insight tools (Payables, Receivables, and Accounting Software Sync) will result in monthly subscription fees. Transactions and additional user fees may apply.

Payables, Receivables, and Accounting Software Sync functions and data are only available for as long as enrollment in the service is maintained.
Your Payables and/or Receivables data within Pay Receive Sync can sync with the following supported accounting software: QuickBooks® for Windows, QuickBooks® Online, Intacct®, NetSuite® and Xero®. There is a fee for this syncing service. Users of other accounting software, such as Sage 50 and Microsoft Dynamics® GP, can use the import/export functionality within Pay Receive Sync at no additional cost. Must sign up for this service.
Online Bill Pay is a service within PNC Online Banking that is available for residents within the US who have a qualifying checking account. We reserve the right to decline or revoke access to this service. Payments to billers outside of the United States or its territories are prohibited through this service. Tax payments, payments to settle securities transactions, and court ordered payments may be scheduled through the Service; however, such payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk.
PNC provides at no extra cost a single-feed scanner, and length of use may be extended, modified, or withdrawn at any time without notice, and may vary by market. Customers may also choose to purchase a non-PNC provided, compatible, multi-feed scanner. Monthly service fees may apply. If service is cancelled within one year of enrollment, an early termination fee may be applied. If scanner is not returned within 30 days of your cancellation, an unreturned scanner fee may be imposed. Please refer to your Remote Deposit agreement for full details.
Eligibility for Remote Deposit is subject to bank approval and requires a PNC business checking account. Funds may not be available for immediate withdrawal. Please refer to your Remote Deposit Service Agreement and applicable funds availability policy for your PNC business checking account to determine when your funds will be available.
