LEXINGTON, Ky.,
June 19, 2017
/PRNewswire/ -- PNC Bank today revealed its portable "Tiny
Branch" on the University of Kentucky
campus. Measuring 20 x 8 feet, or 160 square feet, the converted
steel container brings PNC's newest and unique branch to
Lexington.
The temporary branch is located at 230 Avenue of Champions
in front of Bowman's Den. PNC will open a permanent branch in the
new UK student center when construction completes in
2018.
"The opening of the PNC 'tiny branch' is an example of how
UK works with its business partners to enhance the student
experience," said Eric N. Monday,
executive vice president for finance and administration at the
University of Kentucky. "We strive to
bring convenience, innovation and high levels of customer service
to our campus."
PNC has a banking agreement as the Official Bank of the
University of Kentucky serving
students, faculty and staff. In addition to the "tiny branch,"
PNC has eight ATMs on the UK campus.
The campus and community will notice several innovative
features at the tiny branch. PNC staff will greet
customers instead of waiting behind a
counter. Employees will use iPads to help
with a full range of services, including new accounts and personal
loans. PNC investments, mortgage, business banking and other
products are also available.
For routine transactions, PNC offers 24/7 use of a "smart"
DepositEasy ATM. Customers can withdraw cash
amounts as small as $1, cash checks,
and deposit checks or cash into their accounts. PNC Bank deposit
account holders can request a Visa® Debit Card, designed
just for the University of Kentucky. UK student and employees
can also link their account to their Wildcard, which can then be
used to access cash at all PNC ATMs.
"Branch convenience remains the number one consideration
when consumers choose their bank," said John Gohmann, PNC regional
president of Lexington.
"The tiny branch is a fun, creative way to help customers
enhance their banking experience."
The Tiny Branch will serve customers on the UK campus
Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. The new branch
increases the number of PNC branches to 11 and 37 ATMs in
Lexington.
