NC recently opened a South Arlington location in the Arlington Highlands shopping center (4001 Matlock Road). This is PNC’s ninth Solution Center (retail banking location) in the DFW area. PNC has designed this Solution Center model – even down to the furniture – to provide the best possible customer experience. This new location opened weeks after PNC introduced a new digital offering, Low Cash Mode, which addresses the $17 billion that some studies estimate that U.S. consumers pay each year in overdraft fees. Through Low Cash Mode, PNC’s goal is to help customers avoid overdraft fees through unprecedented account transparency and control to manage through low-cash moments or mis-timed payments. Low Cash Mode is currently available to customers in North Texas through Virtual Wallet® Checking Pro, a best-in-class bank account and money management solution that easily enables consumers to manage their finances.
