Promotion Terms & Conditions

  • Offer only available to businesses with an annual revenue less than $5 million.
  • Only business checking accounts with statements that cycle monthly are eligible for this offer. Business checking accounts that receive statements daily, weekly or quarterly are ineligible.
  • Already established, converted or repurposed PNC checking or savings accounts are not eligible.
  • If you change your account type after opening, the account type that you are in on the last business day of the month in which you opened your account will determine your offer eligibility, terms and corresponding reward amount, if applicable.
  • Average ledger balance is defined as the average daily total within your business checking account at the end of your statement cycle. A qualifying debit card transaction is defined as any debit card purchase made at point of sale using your signature or PIN; or a purchase made electronically or online using your debit card number, including recurring payments. Any combination of qualifying PNC Visa® Business Debit Card transactions is acceptable but must equal 20 within the first three statement cycles.
  • New account will not be eligible for offer if any signer has signing authority on an existing PNC Bank business checking account or has closed an account within the past 90 days, or has been paid a promotional premium in the past 12 months. If multiple accounts are opened with the same signers, only one account will be eligible for the premium. For this offer, signing authority will be defined by the customer name(s) and Social Security number(s) registered on the account.
  • Please consult your tax advisor regarding your specific situation.

The Bottom Line

I think the $400 offer for the Business Checking account makes the most sense for most people. The monthly fee is the lowest of the three offers and it can be waived more easily too (i.e. having an average monthly balance of just $500).

Compared to PNC consumer checking accounts, this promotion isn’t available nationwide. You need to reside in one of the 22 states listed.
