Sending money via wire transfer with PNC Bank is a convenient and secure method, whether you’re using online banking or the mobile app. Understanding the process and knowing where to turn for support is key to a smooth transaction. This guide will walk you through initiating wire transfers and highlight how PNC customer service can assist you every step of the way.
Performing wire transfers through PNC’s digital platforms is straightforward. Here’s how you can do it:
Using PNC Online Banking:
- Begin by signing into your PNC Online Banking account.
- Navigate to the Transfer Funds tab, easily located within your account dashboard.
- Select Send a Wire or International Transfer to start your transaction.
Utilizing the PNC Mobile App:
- Launch and log in to your PNC Mobile App on your smartphone or tablet.
- Find and tap on the Transfer tab within the app’s main menu.
- Choose between Send a Domestic Wire or Send an International Transfer based on your needs.
To successfully complete a wire or International Money Transfer, ensure you have the recipient’s details ready. This information is crucial for processing your transfer without delays. You will typically need:
- Full name of the individual or business
- Complete address of the recipient
- Bank routing number of the recipient’s bank
- Recipient’s account number
For wire transfers initiated at a PNC branch, remember to bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
Depending on whether you are sending a domestic or international wire, additional recipient account details may be necessary:
- Domestic wires: Require a U.S. routing number and the full account number. It’s important to note that some banks use specific routing numbers for wire transfers, so it’s advisable for your recipient to confirm this with their bank.
- International wires: Need either an International Bank Account Number (IBAN) or a full account number along with the SWIFT code (also known as BIC – Business Identifier Code). Recipients should obtain this information from their bank.
- International Money Transfers: Generally require a full account number. However, some banks may accept a debit card number or mobile phone number instead of an account number. Again, recipient bank confirmation is recommended.
Understanding the fees associated with wire transfers is important. These fees can vary based on your account type. For detailed fee information, refer to your fee schedule. If you need clarification on the fees or have specific questions related to your account, the Pnc Customer Service Number, 1-800-272-6868, is readily available to provide assistance.
Important Points to Remember for Wire Transfers:
- Domestic wire transfers can be initiated from any personal PNC checking or savings account through online banking or the mobile app.
- Always ensure you are sending money to trusted recipients – individuals or businesses you know well.
- International wire and International Money Transfers can also be requested from personal PNC checking or savings accounts via online banking or the mobile app.
- Currently, PNC does not process international transfer requests over the phone.
- Similar to domestic transfers, only send international wires or money transfers to people and businesses you trust.
Note: While domestic wire transfers are primarily processed online or via the app, phone assistance may be available under certain circumstances. A Wire Transfer Agreement might be required for phone-initiated domestic wire transfers, which can be found in the Online Documents Center within your PNC Online Banking under the Customer Service tab. Same-day processing for domestic wires is not guaranteed and may be processed the next business day. PNC may also contact you to verify wire instructions, and any delays in reaching you or incorrect details can postpone the transfer.
For receiving incoming international wire transfers, you will need to provide the PNC Bank’s SWIFT Code (BIC): PNCCUS33.
