PNC Bank announced on Monday that it has opened the service of receiving USDC payments to customers of PNC corporate and institutional banks (C& IB). Customers can now receive the US-dollar denominated stablecoin USDC on the Ethereum blockchain through Coinbase Payment products. This solution is built upon the existing partnership between PNC and Coinbase as well as the bank's ongoing investment in financial management capabilities. PNC stated that this new service complements its existing faster payment capabilities and also reflects the bank's continuous attention to the changing needs of its customers, providing a variety of instant payment options.

PNC indicates that this service allows customers to receive payments via USDC. These payments are automatically converted at a 1:1 ratio into US dollars and deposited into the designated PNC deposit account. This solution is designed to help businesses take advantage of the benefits of stablecoins, including faster access to funds and improved efficiency in cross-border transactions, while continuing to use the banking services provided by PNC.

"Our customers have been constantly seeking new ways to interact and transact with clients, suppliers, and business partners," said Tom Lang, the person in charge of finance management products and operations at PNC Bank. "This solution gives us the opportunity to leverage the banking experience, risk management, and professional capabilities that our customers expect to obtain from PNC to provide them with innovative functional support."

Coinbase, the person in charge of infrastructure products, Alec Lovett stated: "Stablecoins are changing the way businesses transfer funds by making payments faster, more efficient, and more global. Our collaboration with PNC demonstrates how leading banks and reliable digital asset infrastructure can be combined to benefit corporate clients with this technology."

According to PNC, this service will initially be available on a limited basis to eligible customers in the form of a pilot project. As the use of stablecoins continues to evolve, PNC will continue to assist customers in understanding and evaluating emerging payment technologies, as well as how these technologies can be integrated into broader financial strategies.
