PNC Financial Services vs peers
AI and technology compared

How does PNC Financial Services compare with its peers on AI and technology?

PNC scores 68.2 on this site's US AI disclosure index (#38 of 120), eighth of nine in its group of large regional banks, roughly level with First Citizens (67.7) and behind TD Bank US (91.8), BMO US (85.8), Citizens (85.3), Huntington (84.2), Fifth Third (84), Truist (82.6) and U.S. Bancorp (81.3). The score counts what is on the record, not capability, and PNC's record is thin: 8 use cases in production and 15 of its own disclosures, both last in the group. What it has disclosed is distinctive. It is building its own 'AI factory', with its own GPUs, data centres and language models, because AI productivity 'can be taken away by the cost of tokens' (CEO Bill Demchak, June 2026); U.S. Bank instead signed a multiyear AWS deal in May 2026 and Huntington buys up to 80% of its AI through vendor suites. About 115 orchestrated AI agents built its new mobile app, released in July 2026, and its president reports 5 to 10x productivity from agent-centred development. And it prices the program: 171 opportunities across $1.4 billion of addressable spend and a target of another 40 points of operating leverage from AI by 2030. Where it trails: it has no customer assistant yet, while Truist Assist has handled 12.5 million-plus requests and U.S. Bank's Smart Assistant is used 2.5 million times a month.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Where does PNC lead its peers on AI?

01

The only peer building its own AI factory

Demchak said on June 9, 2026 that PNC is 'building our own AI factory', with its own GPU compute, data centres and large and small language models, and a spokesperson said the aim is to 'avoid vendor lock-in'. U.S. Bank moved hundreds of mission-critical applications to AWS (May 2026), Citizens moved 700 applications to the cloud, and Huntington delivers up to 80% of its AI through vendor suites.[1][9][2][10][3]

02

A mobile app built by AI agents

About 115 orchestrated AI agents handled development and testing, with human review, of the PNC Mobile app released in July 2026, which about 8 million customers use; president Mark Wiedman reported 5 to 10x productivity from agent-centred development in September 2026. Citizens reports 55% higher output for advanced-agent users and U.S. Bank a 75% cut in code-review time.[4][11][5][10][8]

03

AI economics set out in numbers

PNC counted 171 AI and automation opportunities across $1.4 billion of addressable spend in January 2026, about $1.5 billion across five areas by February, and targets another 40 points of operating leverage from AI between 2025 and 2030; AI is about 20% of the increase in a roughly $3.5 billion technology budget. U.S. Bank and First Citizens publish no comparable AI target.[6][12][13][14]

04

AI priorities ahead of deals

CFO Rob Reilly said in September 2026 that PNC would pass on an acquisition that impeded its AI priorities, and the patented data migration factory ran the June 2026 FirstBank conversion of 780,000 customers. Fifth Third and Huntington are absorbing large acquisitions (Comerica, Cadence) in the same period.[15][16][17][18][19]

Where does PNC trail its peers on AI?

01

Fewest use cases in production in the group

The profile records 8 of PNC's 14 described AI use cases as in production, last of nine against 16 at U.S. Bancorp and 15 at Huntington; Huntington alone reports 50 AI agents in production and more than 60 in development (April 2026).[20][8]

02

No customer assistant yet

PNC plans its own digital assistant later in 2026. Truist Assist handled more than 12.5 million requests from 2023 to March 2026, U.S. Bank's Smart Assistant is used 2.5 million times a month, Citizens' CiZi cut mobile-banking calls 44%, and Fifth Third's Jeanie reached 42% self-service containment.[4][7][8][10][21]

03

Fewer of its own disclosures and named leaders

PNC has 15 primary AI disclosures on the record, last of nine against 26 at BMO US, and 10 named AI and technology leaders against 15 at BMO; it has not named a chief AI officer on the record, while U.S. Bank appointed one in mid-2025 and Truist hired a chief AI and data officer from Microsoft in November 2025.[22][23][24]

04

No AI value delivered yet

PNC gives targets, not results: its $1.4 billion figure is addressable spend. TD reports C$195 million of AI value in the first three quarters of fiscal 2026, and Citizens expects about $100 million of run-rate benefit from Reimagine the Bank by the end of 2026.[6][25][26]

Where does PNC rank against its peers on AI disclosure?

Scores from the US AI disclosure index of 120 banks (0–100; 45% of the weight on independent coverage). The index measures what each bank has put on the public record and what outside outlets have reported about its AI, not capability or spending; every count is of entries on that bank's profile, each of which cites its sources.

Which banks are PNC's peers, and why these?

PNC Financial Services is compared here with Truist Financial, U.S. Bancorp, TD Bank (U.S.), Fifth Third Bancorp, Huntington Bancshares, BMO (U.S.), First Citizens BancShares and Citizens Financial Group: the US banks on this site nearest to it in business model (regional or retail-commercial bank) and assets on the Federal Reserve's large-bank list. PNC Financial Services is classed as a regional or retail-commercial bank in the Northeast.

Is PNC behind other banks on AI?

On the public record, yes: PNC scores 68.2 on this site's disclosure index, eighth of nine large regional banks, with the fewest use cases in production (8) and its own disclosures (15). Its strategy is unusual rather than absent: it is building its own GPUs, data centres and language models, used about 115 AI agents to build its new mobile app, and targets another 40 points of operating leverage from AI by 2030.[1][4][6]

Is PNC better than U.S. Bank at AI?

U.S. Bank has more on the record (81.3 against 68.2 on this site's index), including 16 use cases in production and a voice assistant used 2.5 million times a month. The approaches differ: U.S. Bank signed a multiyear AWS deal and mixes OpenAI, Anthropic and Google models; PNC is building its own AI factory to avoid token costs and vendor lock-in. PNC publishes an AI savings target; U.S. Bank does not.[8][2][22][1][6]

Why is PNC building its own AI instead of using a vendor?

Cost and control. Demchak said in June 2026 that any productivity AI brings 'can be taken away by the cost of tokens', and that 'the most efficient tool oftentimes isn't the $35 token, it's the $1.50 token'; a spokesperson said the aim is to avoid vendor lock-in and reliance on usage-based pricing. PNC still reaches frontier models through hyperscalers and runs open-weight models in-house.[1][9][5]

How does PNC compare with Truist on AI?

Truist has more on the record (82.6 against 68.2), including Truist Assist's 12.5 million-plus requests, more than 2 billion Truist Insights since 2023 and a chief AI and data officer hired from Microsoft. PNC's record is about infrastructure and engineering: its own AI factory, an agent-built mobile app and a $1.4 billion addressable-spend target. Neither publishes AI value delivered.[7][37][23][1][4][6]

Does PNC have an AI assistant like Erica?

Not yet. Head of retail banking Alex Overstrom said in July 2026 that PNC plans to roll out its own digital assistant later in 2026, and the new app platform is designed for embedded generative-AI assistance. PNC hired Tim Ferriter from JPMorgan Chase, where he ran the Chase app and consumer AI strategy, as head of retail product, digital and growth in May 2026.[4][91][92]

How does PNC govern AI compared with its peers?

PNC's 2025 10-K says a minority of its models, but a growing number used with customers and for process automation, rely on AI and machine learning, and names the laws that govern them; it is adopting data 'nutrition labels' for model training data. Truist's 10-K says its AI program is based on the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and U.S. Bank reviews every use case through one governance body.[93][94][95][51]

How much does PNC spend on technology compared with other banks?

About $3.5 billion a year, rising about 10% in 2026, with AI about 20% of the increase. That is far below JPMorgan Chase (about $19.8 billion), Bank of America (about $14 billion) and Wells Fargo (more than $10 billion), and close to BNY (about $3.8 billion in 2025).[4][13][96][97][98][99]
