PNC Bank, N.A. is the sixth-largest bank in the United States with approximately 2,600 branches and 9,000 ATMs concentrated in the eastern and midwestern states. PNC’s fee structure sits in the middle of major banks — a $7 monthly checking fee (lower than Chase or Bank of America), a $36 overdraft fee, and a tiered product lineup anchored by Virtual Wallet, its signature three-account budgeting system.
