While PNC doesn't offer the highest interest rates on its deposit accounts, it does charge low monthly fees, and it also lets you waive those fees not only with a minimum balance but also with minimum direct deposits.

How is PNC different from other banks?

The difference between the two is that PNC offers various banking tools, waivable monthly fees and opportunities for interest boosts, while Chase offers greater branch accessibility, sign-up bonuses and specifically tailored account options.

Is PNC Bank a good bank?

PNC Bank's rating is a B+, better than Wells Fargo or TD Bank, but it too gets low marks for its fees and customer satisfaction. The banks above are worth considering, but they're not your only options. The best banks for you are the ones that offer what you need from a financial services company.
