NJ loses 5 PNC bank branches — and is about to lose a 6th

💳 Six PNC branches are closing by year's end

💳 Most are located at supermarkets

💳 This follows a wave of bank branch closures over the past few years

Six PNC Bank branches in the Garden State are closing their doors for good as the banking industry adjusts to a customer base that's relying less on in-person transactions.

PNC announced in December that it would be closing branches that are located within Stop & Shop supermarkets. Five of those closures are official as of Friday.

A separate standalone branch is set to close in September.

A spokesperson for PNC said the company has had to make decisions to close branches as customer needs evolve.

"As always, we will continue to invest in – and optimize – our branch network alongside our other core banking channels to serve our customers in the most effective way we can," the spokesperson said.

The following PNC branches are now closed:

Stop & Shop, Elizabeth

Stop & Shop, Franklin Park

Stop & Shop, Union Township

Stop & Shop, Watchung

Stop & Shop, Bayonne

The following PNC branch is scheduled to close on Sept. 22, 2023.

Gloucester City (500 Monmouth Street)
