Both your routing number and account number are important to any transaction. They are both indicated on paper checks from PNC Bank. While the routing number is on the lower-left corner, the account number is on its right. However, you can access the routing number by calling customer service if you cannot access any of your checks. For your account number, you can always check your online banking statement.
If you have an account with PNC Financial, locating your account number or routing number can be quite a challenge. Using the wrong routing number during a transaction can be risky as the money you transfer can end up in a different bank.
With PNC Financial having more than one routing number, most account holders end up confused on which one to use. You can explore a few options when trying to find your account or routing number if you bank with PNC Financial. In this article, we explore the different options available at your disposal.
The routing number represents the branch where you opened your account. There are some states that use the same routing number across the entire state while others have multiple routing numbers. However, it is worth noting that the routing number used for all incoming wire transfers is different from the one that appears on your account. Always contact the PNC bank customer service before setting up an incoming wire transfer for confirmation.

If you have a checkbook connected to your PNC account, we can provide you with all the details you need. Every check usually indicates the routing number and the account number at the bottom. The routing number is usually a 9 digit number on the lower-left corner of the check.
If you do not have a checkbook, it is easier to get your routing number by contacting PNC Bank. PNC customer service is available via a phone call, live chat, or email. They can tell you the accurate routing number instantly via phone call. If you do not need the routing number urgently, you can get confirmation from a teller the next time you visit a PNC location.
Just like the routing number, your account number can be found on your PNC paper check. The account number is usually found next to your routing number. If you do not have a paper check, you can always confirm from a check that was recently posted to your account. To do this:
1. Log in to your online banking portal.
2. Select your account.
3. Go to the account activity page and find a check that was recently posted.
4. Check the image of the check for your account and routing number.
If you have subscribed to the online statements service through online banking, your account number can be found on the PDF file containing statements. All you have to do is:
1. Sign in to the online banking portal.
2. Choose your account.
3. Select online statements from the account activity tab
4. Select print statement. Your account number is usually printed on the top right corner.
