National City Bank branches become PNC Bank on Monday

PNC Financial Services Group becomes part of the Mahoning Valley this weekend as its orange and blue signs are unveiled at 19 former National City Bank branches.

The local offices are in the first wave National City branches that are being converted to PNC over the next six to eight months.

The change follows PNC’s $5 billion acquisition of Cleveland-based National City last year. The deal was completed Dec. 31, but National City branches have retained their names as Pittsburgh-based PNC worked on converting computer systems and accounts.

That work has been completed, and branches will officially become PNC offices when they open Monday.
