PNC outlines its three options: MYM, Quicken, AOL. Under “which options is best” users are steered to MYM unless they already use Quicken.
PNC Bank (Pittsburgh, PA; $70 billion; 1.3 million ATM cards) rolled out PC banking via MECA’s Managing Your Money <www.mymnet.com> on Dec. 16. PNC, which does not have an ownership stake in MECA, beat three of MECA’s six owners to the field and tied one:
PNC’s MYM banking program is also notable for two online banking “firsts”:
1. The first to support interbank transfers. PNC has boldly taken the plunge and is simplifying the process of transferring funds out of the bank.
2. The first to follow Intuit’s lead by providing a custom Netscape Navigator browser with unlimited free access to PNC’s Web, or full Internet access, from internetMCI, at $2 off the normal $19.95/mo charge.
Direct Bank exec Judy Campbell’s 1996 performance review should look good. During the year PNC launched a Web site; online banking through Quicken, MYM, and BankNow; a small business program Business Express/PC; unveiled a strategic alliance with Industry.Net’s Online Marketplace; and dropped $4 million into Integrion. Judy Campbell is SVP/Mgr of PNC’s Direct Bank, 412.762.2000. Paul Harrison is CEO at MECA, 203.256.5089. Stephen Von Rump is VP Enterprise Marketing at MCI, 202.887.3140.
