America’s sixth-largest bank, PNC, has announced the closure of 19 more branches nationwide after it closed 203 branches earlier this year.
The news comes as a slew of major US banks continue to shut down branches as they shift towards digital currency.

The bank said in a statement:
“PNC recognizes that branches play a key role in how we provide solutions to our clients, alongside our other channels,” the bank said in a statement.
“That’s why we continually study customer and prospect transaction patterns to determine how we can most effectively meet the needs of our communities.”
“As a result of this work, we have grown our PNC branch footprint over the past five years–by building out new branches and through acquisitions–while total industry branches have declined.
“At the same time, we also make decisions to close branches as customer needs evolve.
“As always, we will continue to invest in – and optimize – our branch network alongside our other core banking channels to serve our customers in the most effective way we can,” the company said.
The closures of PNC bank branch in 2023 is estimated to be around 203
