2024 hasn’t been the kindest year for banking in Florida. I’ve written about how Citibank’s layoff of 20,000 employees in 2024 affected the Florida campus as well as some Wells Fargo job and branch losses in Florida. However, in at least one sense the tide is turning somewhat – with a $500 million expansion from PNC banking.
About PNC And Its Expansion Plans In Florida: According to the company’s website, PNC is one of the largest diversified financial services institutions in the United States.
It was named the most trusted bank by Bankrate in 2023 as well as the best overall bank for students in 2021-2023 by Money.com.
There are currently around 183 PNC branches in Florida. A Tampa location gets mixed reviews, earning 3.5 out of 5 stars on Google reviews. For example, a reviewer named PJ wrote, in part:
“I have…been to several different branches for PNC. This branch is top notch and I feel confident and comfortable every time I walk in. Any issues, questions, or inquiries I ever have about my account, this branch always has an answer for me…Everyone there is friendly and goes above and beyond to help.”
