# Eighth-Largest U.S. Bank PNC Partners With Coinbase to Pilot USDC Payments for Corporate Clients

PNC Bank and Coinbase announced an expanded partnership on November 9 to pilot USDC payment acceptance for corporate and institutional banking clients. Eligible participants can receive USDC payments, which are automatically converted 1:1 into U.S. dollars and deposited into designated PNC bank accounts. The service is powered by Coinbase Payment APIs and aims to improve payment efficiency, including for cross-border transactions. The pilot is initially limited to select clients. The two firms previously partnered to offer digital asset trading to eligible PNC Private Bank clients.
