About

PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based bank holding company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: PNC) as an S&P 500 component — operating as the sixth-largest commercial bank in the United States with 2,629 branches across 27 states and Washington D.C., providing retail banking, corporate and institutional banking, asset management, and residential mortgage services through approximately 60,000 employees. In 2024, PNC reported record annual revenue of $21.6 billion and net income of $6.0 billion (diluted EPS of $13.74), with Q4 2024 earnings up 13% year-over-year driven by both net interest income and fee income growth of 6%. Founded in 1845 as Pittsburgh Trust and Savings Company, PNC's national expansion accelerated through landmark deals: the 1982 merger of Pittsburgh National Corporation and Provident National Corporation (the largest US bank merger at the time), and the 2021 acquisition of BBVA USA for $11.6 billion — creating a coast-to-coast franchise in 29 of the 30 largest US markets. In September 2024, PNC announced the acquisition of FirstBank (Colorado-based, $26 billion in assets) for $4.1 billion, strengthening its Mountain West presence. PNC holds $440 billion in assets under administration as of late 2024.
