On January 22, 2026, PNC Bank introduced a self-service digital solution enabling online banking customers to open and fund individual brokerage accounts through PNC Wealth Management entirely online. The new functionality eliminates manual paperwork and reduces account-opening time to under 10 minutes, according to internal testing, and offers seamless integration with existing PNC checking and savings accounts for instant funding. Clients can now execute $0-commission equity and ETF trades, access over 4,000 mutual funds and utilize advanced features such as Tax Lot Trading, fractional-share investing and real-time performance tracking via a modern, intuitive interface. PNC reports that during its pilot phase with 250 customers, over 80% completed account setup without advisor assistance, validating the platform’s ease of use. Additional investment account types, including joint and retirement accounts, are slated for rollout later this year, underscoring PNC’s commitment to expanding its fully digital wealth-management capabilities.
