PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., the 10-K for 2025

PNC is a financial services holding company run from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It does retail banking, corporate and institutional banking, and asset management, and it sells most of those nationally. The company describes itself as one of the largest diversified financial institutions in the United States. Its retail branch network runs coast to coast, and it keeps offices in four countries outside the United States.

Where it came from, and how it is put together

The company was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1983, when Pittsburgh National Corporation and Provident National Corporation were brought together. Since then it has widened its geography, its business mix and its products through a combination of organic growth, bank and non-bank acquisitions, equity investments, and setting up new non-banking subsidiaries.

Almost all the business runs through one bank: PNC Bank, a national banking association chartered in Wilmington, Delaware. At the end of 2025 the legal structure was that single domestic bank subsidiary, with its own subsidiaries beneath it, plus 52 active non-bank subsidiaries and a set of affordable housing and historic rehabilitation investments. The non-banking subsidiaries do things that are financial in nature: market-making, securities underwriting, advisory work, and other permitted investment and merchant banking activities.

What it sells

Retail and business banking, delivered locally, with a full range of lending products. For companies and government bodies there are specialised services: corporate banking, real estate finance and asset-based lending. Alongside those sit wealth management and asset management. Corporate & Institutional Banking also carries treasury management, capital markets and advisory products, and commercial mortgage banking, and it does so for customers of every segment rather than only its own, so most of the revenue and cost of those services shows up there.

Two things that happened at the turn of the year

On 5 January 2026 PNC completed its acquisition of FirstBank Holding Company, including its banking subsidiary FirstBank, a Colorado state-chartered bank. At close FirstBank had $26.4 billion of assets, $16.0 billion of loans and $23.1 billion of deposits. Its results join PNC's consolidated figures from that date and appear from the first quarter of 2026. Until FirstBank's customers are converted onto PNC Bank, which the company says it expects in the summer, FirstBank stays a separate bank subsidiary. It is regulated in the meantime by the Federal Reserve and the Colorado Division of Banking.

Separately, in the fourth quarter of 2025 the company announced it was raising its branch investment by $0.5 billion to open another 100 branches, in markets including Nashville, Chicago, Sarasota and Winston-Salem.

Who supervises it

PNC is a bank holding company that has elected to be a financial holding company, which puts the group under the Federal Reserve for consolidated supervision, regulation and examination. PNC Bank itself is supervised primarily by the OCC, the federal regulator of national banks, and on some matters by the FDIC as deposit insurer and the CFPB on consumer finance.
