The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. PNC announced its partnership with GTreasury, a global leader in Digital Treasury Solutions. This new collaboration integrates PNC’s embedded banking solution, PINACLE Connect, with GTreasury’s treasury and risk management platform.
PNC introduced PINACLE in 2021 to remove complexities and address client feedback, particularly regarding technology integration and fraud prevention.
PNC Financial and GTreasury Streamline Treasury Operations
With this expanded partnership, PNC and GTreasury’s mutual clients can make their operations more efficient and streamline processes. The client can also avoid the swiveling practice that generally arises when using multiple partner platforms by integrating key PNC banking services. These services include payment automation (ACH, wire and real-time payments initiation), along with reconciliation through real-time payment status updates, as well as real-time and historical balance and transaction reporting to streamline cash management.
The client onboarding process will be streamlined to reduce implementation time and minimize the technology resources required to integrate PNC’s services with the GTreasury platform.
Similar to PNC, Wells Fargo & Company WFC and Deutsche Bank DB are also enhancing their API technologies. WFC expanded its APIs portfolio with the launch of specialized APIs for its Commercial Banking clients in September 2024. This automated setup permits effortless data transfer among trading partners, reducing delays in sending and receiving information.
In June 2024, DB expanded its collaboration with Bitpanda to offer real-time payment solutions for incoming and outgoing transactions for users in Germany. This API-based account solution will give Bitpanda access to German IBANs, streamlining and improving the user experience while ensuring confidence, speed and efficiency.
PNC Financial’s Management Comments
Howard Forman, executive vice president and head of Digital Channels for PNC Treasury Management, said, “This integration with GTreasury expands our existing, broad portfolio of platform integrations that are delivering the power of our Treasury Management platform within the systems our clients use to run their businesses.’’
He further added, “The secure modern, scalable API-based approach helps our clients accomplish many of their financial goals — automating manual processes, reducing risk and optimizing their liquidity position.”
PNC Financial’s Prior Efforts to Enhance Online Platforms
Before partnering with Gtreasury, in September 2024, PNC and Plaid, a fintech company specializing in data transfer networks, entered into a bilateral data access agreement. This agreement intends to help PNC customers across the United States to securely and efficiently share their financial data with their preferred financial applications through Plaid.
In 2022, PNC Bank enhanced its services for the hospitality sector by acquiring Linga, a leading provider of point of sale and payment solutions. Linga's cloud-based restaurant operating system has enabled PNC to enhance its service offerings to hospitality and restaurant industry clients, providing a more comprehensive suite of financial tools tailored to meet the unique needs of these businesses.
