PNC Bank shutters 19 branches in a single WEEK as US Bank, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America also close locations – is your local affected?


  • PNC notified the regulator of 19 upcoming bank branch closures last week
  • Citizens Bank targeted six branches in a handful of cities across New York State
  • Although Chase filed to close four, it also said it would open 12 new branches 

Seven banks filed to close 42 branches last week, leaving a growing number of Americans with limited access to basic financial services.

PNC Bank led the pack with 19 filings to the regulator between November 12 and November 18.

Of those closures, five are set to impact Pennsylvania. Four were registered in Illinois and three were in Texas, according to records published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

US Bank announced the second highest number of closures, notifying the agency of plans to ax seven locations – three of which are in Tennessee.

Between November 12 and 18, PNC Bank filed to close 19 bank branches throughout the country

Citizens Bank filed to close six branches, all of which are in New York state. 

Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase said they would each shutter four locations, while Huntington and Sterling notified of just one closure each.

In October, Huntington filed to close 26 locations across the Midwest. 

According to its website, Starling Bank and Trust has almost 30 branches, most of which are in California. 

Though Chase filed to shut four branches, it more than compensated for the closures by notifying the OCC of plans to open another 12. The only other bank to inform the regulator of a new branch was First National.

When most banks close a branch they must notify the regulator, the OCC.

In a statement to DailyMail.com, a spokesperson for the agency said: ‘The OCC understands the importance of bank branches and is committed to supporting access to banking services in all communities.’

The watchdog also noted that although banks and credit unions need to notify the ‘primary regulator of closures’, the statute that requires them to do so does not allow the regulator to object.

This year alone a total of 1,144 national and regional banks were closed between January 1 and July 31 across 49 states, according to data from S&P reviewed by DailyMail.com.

These most recent closures come after an exclusive poll by DailyMail.com revealed 51 percent of consumers said they were very or somewhat concerned about the declining number of bank branches.

The survey also found that brick and mortar services were less accessible to black Americans. While 14 percent of black Americans said they did not have a local branch, that was only the case for 8 percent of white Americans.
