2PNC increased investment by $0.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025 and added 100 branches to the plan.
3The company aims to renovate 100% of its branch network by 2029.
4PNC projected building about 55 branches in 2026.

In its third-quarter disclosure, PNC describes a branch program worth about $2.0 billion in total by 2030 and says the program was announced in 2025. This is the figure the company reported in its latest open official disclosure on the plan. Accordingly, the investment program previously announced is what can be attributed to the company. The plan calls for opening branches and renovating existing locations through 2030.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, PNC said it increased investment in the program by $0.5 billion and added 100 branches to its plan. According to Reuters, the November 2025 announcement added about 100 locations to the previous plan and raised total investment to nearly $2 billion. This shows that the documented increase relates to a previous announcement, not a new announcement on the date of the circulating news. The previous plan, according to Reuters, included more than 100 new locations and renovations at 200 existing locations. The additional expansion is part of a broader program combining new locations with upgrades to existing branches.

The plan includes renovating 100% of PNC’s branch network by 2029, according to the 2025 annual report. This target places upgrades to existing locations alongside the opening of new branches. The company also identified Nashville, Chicago, Sarasota and Winston-Salem as additional markets where branch investment will be concentrated. The disclosure indicates that the program covers markets in which the company had previously expanded, without linking the specified locations to a new announcement on November 6. The renovation target is scheduled to be completed before the overall investment horizon ends in 2030.

An investor presentation PNC filed in November 2025 projected an acceleration in branch construction in 2026, with about 55 branches during the year. This figure indicates the construction pace the company presented as part of its plan, not a confirmed number of openings in 2026. The announced plan combines an increase in the number of branches with upgrades to the existing network, targeting completion of the renovations in 2029. The total investment reported by the company in its third-quarter disclosure extends through 2030. These figures remain tied to the previously announced program, while details of a new expansion on November 6 could not be verified.
