Birmingham – PNC Bank has launched a 30-foot mobile branch in Birmingham, targeting underserved neighborhoods to provide essential banking services. The initiative is part of PNC’s commitment to enhance community access to financial resources and awareness.

The mobile branch will offer a range of services including account openings, loan applications, credit cards, and mortgages. Customers will benefit from face-to-face banking transactions, similar to those available at traditional bank branches.

Scheduled to rotate among several key community locations in Birmingham, the mobile branch will visit sites such as Bundles of Hope Diaper Bank, Alabama Goodwill Industries, The Dannon Project, and Daniel Payne Legacy Village. The aim is to add several more community locations each week to further its reach.

This education initiative underscores PNC’s dedication to improving the financial literacy of the communities it serves.
