What are the hours and when should I call?
PNC Bank operates the call center for this 888-762-2265 phone number Mon-Fri 7am-10pm, Sat-Sun 8am-5pm ET.The short answer is that you should call on a Friday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 384 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the PNC Bank call center opens before trying to call.

An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this PNC Bank phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like PNC Bank staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call PNC Bank is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 406% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 384 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

In summation, the best day to call PNC Bank is Friday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that PNC Bank staffs up on Friday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
Calling this number is best if you're already a PNC customer, but it's not only useful for PNC customers. If you aren't a customer, you can use this number to find branches near you so that you can start an account.
When I called, I was first told that I had reached PNC voice banking, and I was asked to provide my user ID. If I didn't have a user ID, I could say that. When I did, I was next taken to a menu to confirm if I was already a PNC customer.
I said I was not, and I was taken out of voice banking and to the main menu. I was then asked why I was calling, and I said I wanted branch locations. The system told me that I could get branch locations near me by entering a zip code and letting the system return results.
I entered the first zip code, and the system told me there were no locations near that zip code. I then entered another zip code, and the system told me that I had five locations near me and could ask for branch hours by pressing 1 during the description of any branch.
I did so during the closest branch to my zip code and found that it was open Monday to Friday, but closed weekends. For the second branch, I found that on Saturdays, the branch was open 8 am to noon, while Monday through Friday maintained standard business hours.
Overall, I thought this was an easy-to-use service. I had no issues getting information and did not hit a chokepoint at any point. The system recognizes new customers might use the phone beforehand and makes that a simple process. If I were to use PNC Bank, I would absolutely use this number.
