The PNC SmartAccess® Card offers a simple and flexible way to manage your finances without the need for a traditional bank account, making it ideal for those who value convenience and accessibility.

Please note, before using the PNC SmartAccess® Prepaid Visa® Card mobile app, it is necessary to load your card on the PNC SmartAccess® website and create a new user ID and password specifically for the app. Existing user IDs and passwords from the website will not work for the app.

The PNC SmartAccess® Prepaid Visa® Card mobile app from PNC Bank allows you to conveniently access your prepaid card information from your mobile device, providing you with the ability to bank on the go.

Once you have created a new username and passcode to log into the app, you will have access to the following features:

View balance
View transaction history
Suspend or reactivate cards
Manage alerts
Request balance information via text message

Your security is of utmost importance to us. Mobile data transmissions and card information are protected by 128-bit encryption, just like when banking online. Experience the freedom of mobile banking right at your fingertips.

During the enrollment process, please refrain from closing the application while waiting for the activation code. The code will be sent as an SMS/text message within 2 minutes and must be entered into the application to complete your enrollment.
