Notes for PNC Bank ACH Origination
- PNC originates ACH files through the PINACLE cash management portal, which accepts standard NACHA fixed-width files.
- Use PPD (Prearranged Payment and Deposit) for consumer payments like payroll, and CCD (Corporate Credit or Debit) for business-to-business vendor payments.
- Your PNC-assigned Company/Originator ID and Origin/Destination routing numbers must be entered correctly — double-check these against your PNC origination agreement before uploading.
- Confirm your same-day ACH cutoff times and batch/file size limits with your PNC treasury management representative, as these vary by account type.
