These banks have the most Pittsburgh branches — you may be surprised

PITTSBURGH — Recent regulatory data revealed shakeups among the largest banks in the Pittsburgh metro according to deposits, but the region is also poised for major shifts by branch networks.

When it comes to bricks and mortar, the region’s largest bank could be dethroned within a few years and the top 10 financial institutions may soon include a credit union.

PNC Financial Services Group Inc. had 95 branches here as of June 30, the end of the FDIC’s fiscal year, and ranked No. 1. F.N.B. Corp. was second with 82, and Citizens Financial Group, which had held the top spot for a decade until a few years ago, dropped to third place.

It closed seven last year.
