Discussion

PNC Bank made an edit to the PNC Financial Services Page to remove some vandalism within the Midland Loan Services Section. Please refer to the View History Page to view the edit. Thanks PNCBank 11:14, May 5, 2010 (EST)


I agree it should be merged. It just makes sense. After all, PNC Bank is the flagship subsidiary of the PNC Financial Services and the PNC Bank article contains history of PNC as a whole where as the PNC Financial Services article only discuses it's ranking in services. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robguru (talkcontribs)

PNC is in our small town (Vineland) in southern NJ. The bank's two branches are chronically understaffed; complaints to the management in the local branches has fallen on deaf ears. Putting up with sub-par service seems to be taken for granted by most customers; lines are long for the drive-thru and in the lobby. Today, while a teller tried to run both the drive-thru window and the inside counter. Mr. X, a PNC Investments Sr. Financial Consultant, was at a desk in the lobby, chatting on the phone and when asked about the under-staffing admitted to knowing that "Luis" (a former teller) had recently graduated and taken an accounting job within PNC. So PNC knew they were going to be short-staffed, yet didn't respond quickly to the pending graduation and promotion of Luis. And when I complained, he told me that I was "barking at the wrong person" and needed to speak to the manager, Chris. I was told that Chris is not there on Tues and Wed. Mr. X's attitude seems to reflect the same "it's not my problem" attitude that pervades PNC's southern NJ region. 209.244.189.19 19:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds frustrating. However, this is a talk page about the article itself - you may want to post about your experience on a message board online somewhere. This page should only be used to discuss the PNC article, or changes to it. Thanks! NickBurns 19:08, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy section

That a bank founded in 1852 had to close two branches for a couple of days due to some civil disobedience in 2011 seems incredibly obscure and smacks of recentism and is hardly controversial. I believe that should be removed in accordance with WP:TRIVIA, WP:UNDUE, WP:COATRACK, etc. Toddst1 (talk) 22:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree I don't see how it's controversial or relevant. Should be removed. Strunke (talk) 22:33, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Toddst1 (talk) 22:35, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Original President, Early History

I've found evidence (here and here for example) that the original bank, Pittsburgh Trust and Savings, was organized by James H. Laughlin (who also held the first presidency.) This information seems important, especially considering it would open links to and from Jones and Laughlin Steel Company and other pages of Pittsburgh providence. Before I added much, I wanted to make sure there wasn't some reason it isn't there already. It wouldn't be more than a couple sentences, and there seems to be the evidence to back it up.

The plot thickens! PNC attributes their beginnings to the same Laughlin of J&L Steel, but with "E" as the middle initial. My only reservation about declaring them one and the same on a major page is the omission of the "H" in reference to James Laughlin in some texts. In case anyone else is following this middle-initial madness. MidwestCuttlefish (talk) 20:51, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
