PNC Bank Rates and Reviews

PNC Bank currently has some of the best promotional CD rates and best savings rates available from any online bank, which is a stark contrast to their standard CD rates. The current savings rate at PNC Bank on the PNC High Yield Savings Account is at 2.32 percent with an APY of 2.35 percent. The minimum opening deposit for the PNC High Yield Savings Account is only $1.00.

PNC Bank's 19 month promotional CD rates have three tiers with the highest CD rate being on account balance of $25,000 or more with a linked checking account. The current 19 month CD rate from PNC Bank is at 2.72 percent with an APY of 2.75 percent. Without a linked checking account, the CD rate is still high at 2.67 percent with an APY of 2.70 percent. Account balances of $1,000 to $24,999 still earn a decent CD rate of 2.38 percent with an APY of 2.40 percent. If you have less than $1,000 to open an account, that CD rate falls to 0.25 percent.

PNC Bank also has promotional callable certificates of deposit but the CD rates are low. If you give a bank the option to call or redeem the CD before maturity, you would think the bank would give you a high rate to entice you. However, 36 month callable CD rates from PNC Bank are only 0.50 percent. 60 month callable CD rates at PNC are also comparatively low at 1.10 percent.
