The installation of PNC DepositEasysm capabilities on ATMs in every PNC region began in 2012 and was completed this month.

"PNC is always looking for innovative ways to make banking easier and more convenient for our customers," said Ken Justice, ATM executive for PNC. "Our ATM enhancements are another major investment to help customers bank when and where they want."

The "smart" ATMs, which can be located via pnc.com/depositeasy from among the bank's 7,200 ATMs nationwide, enable customers to cash checks and deposit stacks of cash or checks without an envelope 24/7, 365 days a year. Other benefits include:

Check deposits made by 9:00 p.m. EST will be considered to be made that day and cash is available immediately.
If the receipt option is chosen, a picture of the check will be printed on it.
Check balances or transfer funds between linked accounts.
Dispense $1 bills along with $10's and $20's for specific amounts.
Set customized ATM preferences, i.e., choose a personalized Fast Cash amount, ATM receipt option, via online banking.

Justice said customers are increasingly taking advantage of PNC's investments in services and technology. Prior to completion of the ATM upgrades, deposits via ATMs and mobile app increased to 23 percent of PNC's total deposits in the second quarter compared to 14 percent last year.

Through pnc.com/alwaysopen, the bank provides details and instructional videos about online banking, mobile banking, mobile deposit, text banking, Popmoney (to send and receive money via smartphone) and the PNC Finder app for every ATM and branch location.
