PNC Fees (2024)

Do you know what bank fees you will pay when you open an account? Many banks charge fees for services you may not realize carry a fee. These fees could be overdraft fees, stop payment fees, or fees for paper statements.

PNC combines Checking and Savings accounts into one offer – a Virtual Wallet. The Virtual Wallet includes:

• Spend: a checking account earning interest in some tiers.
• Reserve: for short-term savings.
• Growth: for long-term savings.

The Virtual Wallet is available in three tiers:

• PNC Virtual Wallet with Performance Spend
• PNC Virtual Wallet with Performance Select
• PNC Virtual Wallet Student

If you have PNC Virtual Wallet with Performance Spend, the Spend account has a minimum opening deposit of $25 when opened at a branch or $0 when opened online. There’s a Monthly Service Charge of $15, which can be waived if you meet any one of the following:
