How’s about direct deposit?
Did you have to make initial direct deposit through your employer? or Did you do it through one of the alternative methods?
I funded my PNC account for $2000 with the Paypal Cashback Mastercard. Account it still pending but it counted as a purchase so far. Thanks again guys.

I funded PNC account with a PNC credit card!
If you open the account in branch will they allow credit card funding?
Does the $2,000 in CC funding count as the “qualifying direct deposit?” If not, are there other options besides a paycheck? Thanks!
OMG PNC is the WORST for customer service.
Expect a battle if anything goes wrong.
You think they will be on your side? Forget it.
can someone kindly lead me in the right direction on how to fund the account with a credit card? I would like to learn. Where do I make the purchase? Thank you!
If anybody is interested, I used my Citi Premier card and it worked out
I successfully funded a new PNC account with $2000 from my BoA Alaska Airlines card. I’m pretty sure it was counted as a purchase.
I used my BoA Cash Rewards card and it was a purchase too
Chase Freedom cc funding worked. It was a purchase
Yeah, my Chase Southwest posted as a purchase.
Chase United works too
Yay! My Chase Ink Plus worked too!
Can confirm Chase Sapphire Pref worked.
Has anybody tried to fund the account with a Barclaycard?
I tried to use my Barclay Arrival and US Airways cards and they were both considered a cash advance.
