“PNC had a successful year in 2014,” said William Demchak, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We added customers, grew loans and deposits, increased fee income and capital, and reduced expenses. While the near-term revenue environment remains challenging, I like how we are positioned heading into 2015. We are a year further into the execution on our strategic priorities and continue to make important progress across the board. We enjoy a strong capital position. We have a more liquid balance sheet. And we expect our continued execution to drive long-term shareholder value.”
PNC Bank has 34 branches in the Milwaukee market.
