Earn $400 after opening PNC Business Checking Plus and completing the balance and transaction requirements.
The strongest part of this offer is the execution profile: a modeled $378 net value without changing direct deposit and without a heavy upfront funding requirement. That makes it easier to complete cleanly than many checking bonuses.

Good Fit If
Who should actually do this
You want a bonus path that does not depend on changing direct deposit.
You can keep $2,000 parked without stressing your working cash.
You can keep another checking account open for about ~3 months without needing a quick exit.
Think Twice If
Where this can get annoying
You do not want to commit $2,000 to a new bank account.
Missing the fee waiver would eat about $22 of the modeled value.
You want a near-hands-off offer with only one step to track.
Watch For
Failure points before you start
Opening or funding requires at least $2,000, which reduces flexibility while the bonus is open.
Do not treat the account as finished until roughly day 90; early closure can wipe out the payout.
Estimated net value already assumes about $22 in fees, so missed waivers can shrink real value further.
PNC's official business checking offer page advertised the $400 business checking tier through June 30, 2026 when re-verified on April 21, 2026. PNC says the offer is limited to businesses with annual revenue under $5 million. The Plus account currently carries a $22 monthly maintenance fee if waiver conditions are not met.
