CHARLOTTE — PNC Financial Services Group Inc. has shuttered one of its branches in Charlotte.

“PNC recognizes that branches play a key role in how we provide solutions to our clients, alongside our other channels,” the spokesperson said. “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.”
