PNC to close Speers branch in August

PNC will close its Speers branch later this summer, the bank said Wednesday.
Spokeswoman Diane Zappas said the branch at 141 Pennsylvania Ave., Charleroi, will be closed Aug. 18 and consolidated with the bank’s Tri-County Plaza branch at 840 Rostraver Road in Belle Vernon.
Zappas, who was unable to stay how many people the branch employed, said the decision to close the bank was because of declining customer use.
“Customers today are banking very differently, using mobile and online banking” to meet their needs, she said.
