You need two weeks notice to order money to buy a used car. Needed $15,000 from my savings account and this branch suggested that I needed to call in advance, two weeks to ensure that they funds would be available.
Had to drive to another branch that had the money in what I would call a sketchy neighborhood to withdraw the money to buy a used car. I had to ask the teller to make a call to find another branch with the money, and I had to ask for a receipt with a $605 deposit.
Excuses ranged from: it's our policy, we don't keep much cash on hand in the even of a robbery to protect our customers, it's Christmas season (12/13/22) and we've had a lot of withdrawals, if we give you the any portion of the money we will not have enough until our next order for cash. I asked what amount of money I could withdraw and they didn't want to give me any! For God's sake, it's my money and it's not your discretion to "allow me to withdraw from my account"!
Asked them for a courier service to save me time and the fact that I did not want to go to the Patton location and chew up a lot of my time and they said they don't do that.
Patton location asked me a series of questions after showing them my Driver's License, a PNC credit card, a savings and checking account number, and having been made aware that I was the person who coming from the Arden branch after showing adequate identification for their purposes.
Follow up by a territory or area manager woman who just reiterated what was already said at the branch and offered no suggestions how to possibly make it right by me for the inconvenience and continue to earn my business, just our policy. She was indignant that I was asking for some type of consideration for the inconvenience because I did not call two weeks in advance. My time apparently is worth nothing to the PNC hourly tellers or managers. Do you value your time?
Does that sound like customer service to you? Can you plan two weeks in advance to buy a vehicle on Facebook, and possibly miss out on the opportunity to purchase a collector vehicle because your bank needs two weeks notice?
PNC acts like it's their money on deposit. I like their green credit card perks to provide a balanced review, but I'm moving down the road to find better customer service. read more
