PNC Bank is closed on Good Friday

PNC Bank observes Good Friday as a holiday and closes all branches on that day. Good Friday falls on different dates each year—it is always the Friday before Easter Sunday. In 2024, Good Friday is March 29. In 2025, it is April 18. In 2026, it is April 10.

When PNC branches are closed, you cannot visit a physical location to deposit checks, withdraw cash, or speak with a banker in person. However, you can still use ATMs, mobile banking, and online banking services on Good Friday. Transfers between your own accounts, bill payments, and most digital transactions process normally.

If you need to deposit a check or handle something that requires a teller, plan to do it the day before Good Friday or the Monday after. Keep in mind that any deposits made through an ATM or mobile deposit on Good Friday itself may not post to your account until Tuesday, since the bank is not processing transactions that day.

Key Takeaways

  • PNC Bank branches close on Good Friday, but ATMs and online banking remain available.
  • Good Friday dates change yearly because Easter is calculated based on the lunar calendar—check PNC's website or your calendar for the exact date each year.
  • Checks deposited through ATM or mobile deposit on Good Friday will not post until the next business day, which is Tuesday.
  • Wire transfers, bill payments, and account transfers initiated online on Good Friday may experience delays and typically process the next business day.

What you can and cannot do on Good Friday

PNC's ATM network operates 24/7, including Good Friday. You can withdraw cash, deposit checks using the ATM envelope, transfer money between your own accounts, and check your balance at any PNC ATM. Mobile deposit—photographing a check through the PNC Mobile app—also works on Good Friday, though the funds will not be available until the next business day.

Online banking through PNC's website or mobile app functions normally. You can pay bills, set up transfers, view statements, and manage your accounts. However, any transaction that requires manual processing by a PNC employee—such as a wire transfer request, a stop payment on a check, or a dispute claim—will not be handled until the branch reopens on Saturday or Monday, depending on whether PNC operates on Saturdays.

You cannot visit a branch to speak with a banker, open a new account, explore for a loan, or handle issues that require in-person verification. If you have an urgent banking need on Good Friday, call PNC's customer service line to see if they can help over the phone, though response times may be slower than on regular business days.

Other holidays when PNC Bank closes

PNC observes the following federal holidays and closes all branches: New Year's Day (January 1), Martin Luther King Jr. Day (third Monday in January), Presidents' Day (third Monday in February), Memorial Day (last Monday in May), Juneteenth (June 19), Independence Day (July 4), Labor Day (first Monday in September), Columbus Day (second Monday in October), Veterans Day (November 11), Thanksgiving Day (fourth Thursday in November), and Christmas Day (December 25).

On these days, the same rules explore as Good Friday: branches are closed, but ATMs and online banking work normally. Check deposits made through ATM or mobile deposit will post the next business day. If a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, PNC typically closes on the observed date—usually the nearest weekday.

Planning ahead for Good Friday banking

If you know you will need cash or need to deposit a check before Good Friday, do it on Thursday. This is especially important if you are depositing a check and need the funds to clear by a specific date, since the Friday deposit will not post until Tuesday at the earliest.

If you have a time-sensitive banking need—such as a wire transfer or a dispute you need to report—contact PNC on Thursday to start the process. Some requests can be initiated online and will be processed first thing when the branch reopens, which may be Saturday morning if PNC operates on Saturdays in your area, or Monday morning otherwise.

For questions about your specific branch's hours or holiday schedule, call PNC's customer service at 1-888-762-2265 or visit pnc.com and search for your branch location. Branch hours vary by location, and some PNC locations may have different schedules than others.

How Good Friday affects paycheck deposits and bill payments

If your paycheck is scheduled to deposit on Good Friday, it will typically post to your account on that day, even though branches are closed. Direct deposits are processed by automated systems and do not require branch staff. However, if your employer processes payroll on Good Friday and the bank is closed, the deposit may be delayed until the next business day.

Bill payments you schedule online before Good Friday will process on their scheduled date, including Good Friday itself. However, if you schedule a bill payment for Good Friday and the recipient's bank is also closed, the payment may not clear until the next business day. To avoid confusion, schedule bill payments for Thursday or the Monday after if the due date is close.
