PNC Financial (PNC) Launches Credit Card With Cashback Feature

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. PNC has launched the PNC Cash Unlimited Visa Signature credit card. The credit card offers simple but valuable rewards with an unlimited 2% cash back on all eligible purchases.

Nate Bacon, head of credit cards at PNC Bank, stated, "The PNC Cash Unlimited Visa Signature credit card is built around the principle of offering competitive, uncomplicated value to our clients."

Customers are entitled to earn 2% cash back on all eligible purchases, without any limits on the amount they can accumulate. The cashback earned has no expiry date, allowing the cardholders to redeem it whenever they like.

During the first year, the card offers a low Introductory annual percentage rate for transfers of balance and eligible purchases. Also, the card does not hold any annual fee or extra charges for foreign transactions.

In case of any cell phone damage or theft, while using the card to pay their monthly bill, customers are eligible to receive up to $800 in protection. Additionally, if the card incurs any unauthorized charges, cardholders won’t be held responsible.

And lastly, cardholders need not activate their bonuses or track spending categories.

Lakhbir Lamba, head of consumer lending at PNC Bank, said, "The launch of the PNC Cash Unlimited Visa Signature credit card represents a pivotal moment for PNC as we continue to evolve our consumer lending product offerings and solutions to align with what our clients truly value."

PNC Financial currently has five different types of credit cards available. These cards each provide a unique set of benefits to its target audience. Adding new products to diversify its product range will likely support its financials in the long run.

Additionally, the bank is actively engaging in growing its retail banking business. In February 2024, the bank announced its plans to invest approximately $1 billion to open more than 100 branches and renovate over 1,200 existing locations by 2028. Such efforts will bolster PNC to expand its footprint into key markets.

Over the past six months, PNC’s shares have gained 30.5% compared with the industry’s 34.6% growth.

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"

From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.

It’s an American AI company that’s riding low right now, but it has rounded up clients like BMW, GE, Dell Computer, and Bosch. It has prospects for not just doubling but quadrupling in the year to come. Of course, all our picks aren’t winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
