External Transfer Caps Reported by Users Customers have reported limits such as $2,000 per day and $5,000 per month for external transfers, with no self-service option to increase this.(turn0search3)
Limited Number of Free Savings Transfers Transfers from savings or money market accounts are limited to 6 free “restricted transfers” per statement cycle. Subsequent transfers incur a fee.(turn0search4)
Viewing Your Personal Limits PNC doesn’t publish specific transfer limits. These are tailored based on your account type and usage. You must log into your online banking or mobile app and check the transfer section for your limits.(turn0search1)
No Online Increase Options To increase limits, you need to contact PNC via phone or visit a branch—there’s no digital self-adjust option.(turn0search1)
