National City changeover will start later this year, continue through 2010; Web site details transition
By Beacon Journal staff

National City Corp. banking customers won't see major changes at their local branches in Summit County and elsewhere any time soon now that the Cleveland financial institution has been taken over by Pittsburgh-based PNC Financial Services Group.
The conversion of National City branches to the PNC brand won't begin until the second half of this year and will continue through the end of 2010, PNC Bank said. PNC closed on the $5.58 billion buyout of National City on Dec. 31.
National City had 24 branches in Summit County and about 300 employees. In a move the company had said is unrelated to the PNC buyout, the National City branch next to Goodyear Hall on East Market Street in Akron is scheduled to close at the end of February.
As part of the changeover, PNC today announced that it is immediately eliminating ATM transaction fees and surcharges for National City and PNC customers at the combined organization's 6,000 automated teller machines.
Also, PNC said it will mail millions of ''Welcome'' letters starting next week to National City and PNC retail and business customers, informing them to bank at the same branches and use their current accounts.
PNC said National City customers can continue to earn rewards for regular banking, including check writing, paying bills online and using debit and credit cards.
PNC also announced a new Web site, http://www.welcometopnc.com, where it will post updates on the integration of the two banks.
The site includes a ''Frequently Asked Questions'' section for retail and business customers.
PNC also began a new marketing campaign built around the theme of ''Two of America's best-known banks. Now simply one of America's best.''
