If you've just opened a new PNC Business Checking account, or you are researching PNC Business Checking accounts before making your choice, then you'll want to know about our Quick Switch Kit. It's a resource we offer to our new customers to help make switching your business checking account, and other related business activity like direct deposits or automatic payments, as seamless as possible.

Remember, a PNC banker is available to help if you have questions at 877-BUS-BNKG (877-287-2654).
We're here to make the switch as easy as possible. Our Quick Switch Kit is a downloadable PDF document with instructions, suggestions for who to notify, and tips to improve the process. It even includes letter templates you can fill in with your new banking details and mail out to your current service providers.

They may also require more or different information than is contained on the letter templates that follow. If so, these templates may help you gather the information you need.

Now that you’ve opened your new account, it’s time to get started on the basics!
Online banking access is a great place to begin, and new business customers can begin using their OLB account as soon as they have received their User ID and PIN.
To get started in Online Banking: Visit pnc.com/smallbusiness and click the Enroll In Online Banking link, located in the Sign on to Online Banking section at the top right of the page.
Keep your old account open and appropriately funded until all outstanding checks have cleared and all of your automatic payments and transactions have switched over to your new PNC Bank account.
Tip: Remember to securely dispose of (shred) your remaining inventory of unused checks and deposit slips and destroy your ATM and debit cards. This will help reduce the risk of accidental use of your old account.
Automatic payments (typically ACH transactions) are a convenient way to receive and send funds, and you’ll need to redirect them to/from your new PNC business account.
