Customer Service is ATROCIOUS! Branch tries to help, but their hands are tied and can only do so much!
After signing up with an agency for leads back in February, I decided to open an account with PNC Bank because most of the agencies clients bank with PNC. On April 26th I received my first payment via Zelle, for which I thought my Zelle was linked to another Institution. After receiving an alert stating that the Zelle was sent to PNC via my email, I rushed to the bank because I noticed that my bank card was missing. After speaking with one of the bankers who was very very helpful, he informed me that the transfer was under review first fraud and I could not with my funds or use my account. He informed me that the investigation can take 48 to 72 business hours and I can revisit the branch at that time. He and I kept the lines of communication open and I went bank to follow up on April 30th, because of the urgent needs for the money to pay my daughter's tuition, my rent, my insurance payments and other bills that are due the first week of the month. I was then told again that the Zelle payment is under investigation for fraud and the investigation may take up to 30 days. Why is it okay first a financial institution to be able to hold on to your funds of which you had to work very hard for, just because they feel like it's fraud. I do not trust PNC bank. The banker did everything he could to assist, but the branch manger and the customer service departments were not helpful at all. read more
