PNC Bank branches are usually open on Christmas Eve but close early

Most PNC Bank branches stay open on Christmas Eve, but they close earlier than normal — typically at 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. instead of their regular closing time. The exact time depends on your specific branch location, so you should check with your local branch before you go.

PNC Bank is closed on Christmas Day itself (December 25th) and does not open. If you need to handle banking on Christmas or the day after, you will need to use ATMs, mobile banking, or online banking instead.

Holiday hours can vary slightly between branches, especially if your branch is inside a grocery store or shopping center. Some locations may have different schedules than the main PNC branches. The safest approach is to call your branch directly or check the PNC website for your specific location's hours.

Key Takeaways

  • PNC Bank branches are open on Christmas Eve but close several hours earlier than their normal time, usually between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
  • PNC Bank is completely closed on Christmas Day and will not open for in-person banking.
  • You can use PNC ATMs and online banking services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day without any interruption.
  • Call your local PNC branch or check the PNC website to confirm the exact closing time for your location, since hours vary by branch.

How to find your branch's Christmas Eve hours

The quickest way to find out when your specific branch closes on Christmas Eve is to visit the PNC Bank website and use their branch locator tool. Enter your zip code or city, and the page will show you the address, phone number, and hours for branches near you. Many branches list holiday hours separately from regular hours.

You can also call your branch directly. The phone number appears in the branch locator results. Staff can tell you exactly when they close on Christmas Eve and answer any questions about services you need that day.

If you are planning to deposit checks or handle cash, do this before Christmas Eve if you can. The early closing time on Christmas Eve means you have a shorter window, and any deposits made after the cutoff time may not process until after the holiday.

Banking services that work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

PNC ATMs run 24 hours a day, even on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. You can withdraw cash, deposit checks (at ATMs with deposit capability), transfer money between accounts, and check your balance at any time.

PNC's mobile app and online banking portal are also available around the clock. You can pay bills, transfer money between your own accounts, send money to other people through PNC's digital payment services, and review your account activity. These services do not stop for holidays.

If you need to send money to someone outside PNC, wire transfers and ACH transfers initiated through online banking will process, though they may not arrive until the next business day after the holiday. Check with PNC about their specific cutoff times for same-day processing on Christmas Eve.

What you cannot do on Christmas Day

You cannot visit a PNC branch in person on Christmas Day. No teller services, loan services, or account opening services are available. If you need to speak with someone at PNC about a problem, you will have to wait until the day after Christmas or use their phone support line if it is staffed.

Some banking tasks that require a teller — like depositing large amounts of cash, getting a cashier's check, or discussing a loan — cannot happen on Christmas Day. Plan ahead if you know you will need these services around the holiday.

Planning ahead for the Christmas holiday period

If you have bills due around Christmas, pay them through online banking or your biller's website before Christmas Eve. Do not wait until Christmas Day, when you will not have access to branch services and may miss payment important date.

If you need cash for holiday spending, withdraw it before Christmas Eve or use a PNC ATM. If you are traveling and need cash, locate PNC ATMs along your route ahead of time using the PNC ATM locator on their website.

Check whether any checks you deposit on Christmas Eve will clear in time for your needs. Deposits made after the cutoff time on Christmas Eve will not process until after the holiday, which could delay when the money shows up in your account.
