PNC and Edinboro University Announce Extension of University Banking Contract

EDINBORO, Pa., April 27, 2007 - PNC Bank, National Association,
announced today the five-year renewal of its University Banking contract
with Edinboro University, extending the contract through December, 2011.

This relationship provides the university's more than 8,500 students,
faculty and staff with easy access to a variety of PNC resources,
including preferably priced financial services, a university ID card
that is linked to their bank accounts and customized web sites. In
addition, PNC customers from Edinboro can register for free PNC
AutoAlerts to monitor spending and account balances and receive one free
wire transfer a month.

"PNC is proud of our long standing relationship with Edinboro and
supports this outstanding institution and its contributions to academic
excellence, diversity and the Edinboro family," said Marlene Mosco,
PNC’s Northwest Pennsylvania regional president.

In addition to accounts geared toward the university community, PNC
offers free educational seminars on basic banking, credit management and
fraud prevention on the Edinboro campus. PNC also hosts customized
Edinboro web pages where students can complete account applications,
manage their finances and find information. Every Edinboro customer
benefits from on-campus resources such as two ATMs (with one more to be
added per the new contract) and a customer service center located in Van
Houten Hall. In addition, the full service Erie Street branch is located
just one block from campus.

Edinboro has joined Seton Hall, Robert Morris, Scranton and Duquesne
Universities in issuing a co-branded PNC Bank Visa Check Card. The
co-branded card works the same as the PNC Bank Check Card by linking to
a PNC Bank checking account and it can be used at ATMs and to make
purchases anywhere Visa is accepted.

PNC is making banking even easier for students, faculty and staff who
have the option of adding ATM and purchasing functionality to the
identification card they use for campus-related purposes such as
entering residence halls, checking out library books and accessing meal
plans.

"This is an integrated, one-card solution that ties deposit account
access to the Edinboro ID card — a card that all students, staff and
faculty members carry," Debbie Finnegan, University Banking relationship
manager. "PNC customers have the added convenience of combining banking
and campus services on one card."

PNC is a leading student lender in Pennsylvania that has relationships
with more than 100 schools across an eight-state region, including 13
alliance schools that have extensive relationships with PNC, including
the University of Pittsburgh, Temple University and the University of
Pennsylvania.
