History of PNC

PNC began as Pittsburgh Trust and Savings Company in 1845 but only operated in 1852 due to delays caused by the Great Fire of Pittsburgh. It became the First National Bank of Pittsburgh in 1863 after receiving a national charter. Over the years, significant mergers, including with Peoples-Pittsburgh Trust Company in 1946 and Fidelity Trust Company in 1959, led to its present form.

The entity known as PNC Financial Corporation formed in 1982 through the merger between Pittsburgh National Corporation and Provident National Corporation. After several more mergers and acquisitions, PNC finally became the financial services company it is known today.
