The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.
2.20% Senior Notes Due November 1, 2024


The senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $650,000,000 offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will
mature on November 1, 2024 and bear interest at 2.20% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on November 1 and May 1 of each year, commencing
May 1, 2020 (the "Senior Notes"). As described under "Use of Proceeds," we intend to use an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior
Notes to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, Eligible Projects (as defined herein). The Senior Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part by us on or
after the 30th day prior to the maturity date at 100% of the principal amount of the notes (par), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of
redemption. We will provide 10 to 60 calendar days' notice of the redemption to the registered holders of the Senior Notes. There is no sinking fund for the
Senior Notes.
The Senior Notes will rank equally with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.


See "Risk Factors" on page S-11 to read about important factors you should consider before buying the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are not
deposits of a bank and are not insured by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other insurer or government agency.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or
determined that this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offense.

We provide information to you about this offering in two separate documents. The accompanying prospectus provides general information about us and the
securities we may offer from time to time, some of which may not apply to this offering. This prospectus supplement describes the specific details
regarding this offering. Generally, when we refer to the "prospectus," we are referring to both documents combined. Additional information is incorporated
by reference in this prospectus supplement. If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus, you should rely
on this prospectus supplement.
Unless otherwise mentioned or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this prospectus supplement to "PNC," "we," "us," "our" or similar
references mean The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and its successors.
References to The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are specifically made where applicable.
We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide any information other than the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement or in any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We and the
underwriters take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you.
We are offering to sell the Senior Notes only in places where sales are permitted. We are not, and the underwriters are not, making an offer to sell the
Senior Notes in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information appearing in this prospectus
supplement or any document incorporated by reference herein or in the accompanying prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date of the
applicable document. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date. Neither this prospectus
supplement nor the accompanying prospectus constitutes an offer, or an invitation on our behalf or on behalf of the underwriters, to subscribe for and
purchase any of the Senior Notes and may not be used for or in connection with an offer or solicitation by anyone, in any jurisdiction in which such an
offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
We make statements in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and we may from time to time make other statements, regarding our
outlook for earnings, revenues, expenses, tax rates, capital and liquidity levels and ratios, asset levels, asset quality, financial position and other matters
regarding or affecting us and our future business and operations that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "believe," "plan," "expect," "anticipate," "see," "look," "intend,"
"outlook," "project," "forecast," "estimate," "goal," "will," "should" and other similar words and expressions.
Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Future events or circumstances may
change our outlook and may also affect the nature of the assumptions, risks and uncertainties to which our forward-looking statements are subject.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. We do not assume any duty and do not undertake to update forward-looking statements.
Actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those anticipated in forward-looking statements, as well as from historical
performance. As a result, we caution against placing undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
Our forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties.

S-1
Table of Contents

·
Our businesses, financial results and balance sheet values are affected by business and economic conditions, including the following:


· Changes in interest rates and valuations in debt, equity and other financial markets.


· Disruptions in the U.S. and global financial markets.

· Actions by the Federal Reserve Board, U.S. Treasury and other government agencies, including those that impact money supply and

market interest rates.


· Changes in customer behavior due to changing business and economic conditions or legislative or regulatory initiatives.


· Changes in customers', suppliers' and other counterparties' performance and creditworthiness.


· Impacts of tariffs and other trade policies of the U.S. and its global trading partners.


· Slowing or reversal of the current U.S. economic expansion.


· Commodity price volatility.

·
Our forward-looking financial statements are subject to the risk that economic and financial market conditions will be substantially different
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/713676/000119312519278851/d802808d424b2.htm[10/30/2019 3:27:16 PM]


424B2

than those we are currently expecting and do not take into account potential legal and regulatory contingencies. These statements are based on
our views that:

· U.S. economic growth, after accelerating a few years ago, has slowed since mid-2018 and is expected to slow further through the rest

of this year and into 2020.

· Job growth will continue into 2020, but at a slower pace due to both difficulty in finding workers and slower economic growth. The

unemployment rate is expected to increase slightly in the near term, but the labor market will remain tight, pushing wages higher and
supporting continued gains in consumer spending.

· Slower global economic growth, trade restrictions and geopolitical concerns are downside risks to the forecast, which have increased in

2019, and risks are weighted to the downside.

· Inflation has slowed in 2019, to below the Federal Open Market Committee's 2% objective, but is expected to gradually increase over

the next two years.

· Our baseline forecast is for one more 0.25 percentage point cut to the federal funds rate in October 2019, taking the rate to a range of

1.50 to 1.75% by the end of 2019.

·
Our ability to take certain capital actions, including returning capital to shareholders, is subject to review by the Federal Reserve Board as
part of our comprehensive capital plan for the applicable period in connection with the Federal Reserve Board's Comprehensive Capital

Analysis and Review ("CCAR") process and to the acceptance of such capital plan and non-objection to such capital actions by the Federal
Reserve Board.

·
Our regulatory capital ratios in the future will depend on, among other things, the company's financial performance, the scope and terms of
final capital regulations then in effect and management actions affecting the composition of our balance sheet. In addition, our ability to

determine, evaluate and forecast regulatory capital ratios, and to take actions (such as capital distributions) based on actual or forecasted
capital ratios, will be dependent at least in part on the development, validation and regulatory approval of related models.

·
Legal and regulatory developments could have an impact on our ability to operate our businesses, financial condition, results of operations,

competitive position, reputation, or pursuit of attractive acquisition opportunities. Reputational impacts could affect matters such as business
generation and retention, liquidity, funding, and ability to attract and retain management. These developments could include:

· Changes to laws and regulations, including changes affecting oversight of the financial services industry, consumer protection, bank

capital and liquidity standards, pension, bankruptcy and other industry aspects, and changes in accounting policies and principles.

· Unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or other claims and regulatory and other governmental investigations or other inquiries.

These matters may result in monetary judgments or settlements or other remedies, including fines, penalties, restitution or alterations in
our business practices, and in additional expenses and collateral costs, and may cause reputational harm to PNC.

· Results of the regulatory examination and supervision process, including our failure to satisfy requirements of agreements with

governmental agencies.

· Impact on business and operating results of any costs associated with obtaining rights in intellectual property claimed by others and of

adequacy of our intellectual property protection in general.

·
Business and operating results are affected by our ability to identify and effectively manage risks inherent in our businesses, including, where

appropriate, through effective use of systems and controls, third-party insurance, derivatives, and capital management techniques, and to
meet evolving regulatory capital and liquidity standards.

·
Business and operating results also include impacts relating to our equity interest in BlackRock, Inc. and rely to a significant extent on

information provided to us by BlackRock. Risks and uncertainties that could affect BlackRock are discussed in more detail by BlackRock in
its SEC filings.

·
We grow our business in part through acquisitions and new strategic initiatives. Risks and uncertainties include those presented by the nature
of the business acquired and strategic initiative, including in some cases those associated with our entry into new businesses or new

geographic or other markets and risks resulting from our inexperience in those new areas, as well as risks and uncertainties related to the
acquisition transactions themselves, regulatory issues, and the integration of the acquired businesses into PNC after closing.

·
Competition can have an impact on customer acquisition, growth and retention and on credit spreads and product pricing, which can affect

market share, deposits and revenues. Our ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes can also impact our ability to respond to
customer needs and meet competitive demands.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/713676/000119312519278851/d802808d424b2.htm[10/30/2019 3:27:16 PM]


424B2
·
Business and operating results can also be affected by widespread natural and other disasters, pandemics, dislocations, terrorist activities,

system failures, security breaches, cyberattacks or international hostilities through impacts on the economy and financial markets generally or
on us or our counterparties specifically.
We provide greater detail regarding these as well as other factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, our
subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. Our forward-looking statements may also be subject to other
risks and uncertainties, including those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus supplement or in our other filings with the SEC.

supplement and in the accompanying prospectus, and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference. This summary is not complete and

About The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.
PNC is one of the largest diversified financial services companies in the United States and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. PNC has
businesses engaged in retail banking, including residential mortgage, corporate and institutional banking and asset management, providing many of its
products and services nationally. PNC's retail branch network is located in markets across the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Southeast. PNC also has
strategic international offices in four countries outside the U.S. As of June 30, 2019, PNC had total consolidated assets of approximately
$405.8 billion, total consolidated deposits of approximately $273.3 billion and total consolidated shareholders' equity of approximately $49.3 billion.
PNC was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1983 with the consolidation of Pittsburgh National Corporation and
Provident National Corporation. Since 1983, we have diversified our geographical presence, business mix and product capabilities through internal
growth, strategic bank and non-bank acquisitions and equity investments, and the formation of various non-banking subsidiaries.
PNC common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "PNC."
PNC is a holding company and services its obligations primarily with dividends and advances that it receives from subsidiaries. PNC's subsidiaries
that operate in the banking and securities businesses can pay dividends only if they are in compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements
imposed on them by federal and state bank regulatory authorities and securities regulators. PNC's subsidiaries may be party to credit or other
agreements that also may restrict their ability to pay dividends. PNC currently believes that none of these regulatory or contractual restrictions on the
ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends will affect PNC's ability to service its own debt or pay dividends on its preferred stock. PNC must also
maintain the required capital levels of a bank holding company before it may pay dividends on its stock.
Under the regulations of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength for its subsidiary banks. As a
result of this regulatory policy, the Federal Reserve might require PNC to commit resources to its subsidiary banks, even when doing so is not
otherwise in the interests of PNC or its shareholders or creditors.
PNC's principal executive offices are located at The Tower at PNC Plaza, 300 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222-2401, and its telephone
number is (888) 762-2265.

Risk Factors
Your investment in the Senior Notes involves risks. This prospectus supplement does not describe all of those risks. Before purchasing any of the Senior
Notes, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, which are specific to the Senior Notes being offered, as well as the risks and other
information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the discussion under
"Item 1A--Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as such discussion may be amended or updated in
other reports filed by us with the SEC.
We and our subsidiaries have significant leverage and debt obligations; payments on the Senior Notes will depend on receipt of dividends and
distributions from our subsidiaries.
We are a holding company and we conduct substantially all of our operations through subsidiaries, including PNC Bank, National Association, which is
our principal banking subsidiary. We depend on dividends, distributions and other payments from our subsidiaries to meet our obligations, including to
fund payments on the Senior Notes, and to provide funds for payment of dividends to our shareholders, to the extent declared by our board of directors.
There are various legal limitations on the extent to which PNC Bank, National Association and our other subsidiaries can finance or otherwise supply funds
to us (by dividend or otherwise) and certain of our affiliates. In addition, contractual or other restrictions may also limit our subsidiaries' abilities to pay
dividends or make distributions, loans or advances to us. For these reasons, we may not have access to any assets or cash flow of our subsidiaries to make
payments on the Senior Notes.

The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to the debt of our subsidiaries, which means that creditors (including depositors) of our subsidiaries
generally will be paid from those subsidiaries' assets before holders of the Senior Notes would have any claims to those assets.
Because we are a holding company, our rights and the rights of our creditors, including the holders of the Senior Notes, to participate in the distribution or
allocation of the assets of any subsidiary during its liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors, unless we
are ourselves a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary. Any capital loans that we make to any of our banking subsidiaries would be
subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to other indebtedness of these banking subsidiaries. Claims from creditors (other than us) against the
subsidiaries may include long-term and medium-term debt and substantial obligations related to deposit liabilities, federal funds purchased, securities sold
under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings.
Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in the Senior Notes.
The cost and availability of short-term and long-term funding, as well as collateral requirements for certain derivative instruments, is influenced by PNC's
credit ratings. Our credit ratings are an assessment of our ability to pay our obligations. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings may
generally affect the market value of the Senior Notes. Our credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to market or other
factors discussed above on the value of the Senior Notes.
The Senior Notes will not be guaranteed by the FDIC, any other governmental agency or any of our subsidiaries.
The Senior Notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the FDIC or any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a
bank. The Senior Notes will be obligations of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. only and will not be guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries,
including PNC Bank, National Association, which is our principal banking subsidiary.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes does not contain any limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock, sell or
otherwise dispose of assets, pay dividends or repurchase our capital stock.
Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries is restricted from incurring additional indebtedness or other liabilities, including additional senior or subordinated
indebtedness, under the indenture governing the terms of the Senior Notes. If we incur additional indebtedness or liabilities, our ability to pay our
obligations on the Senior Notes could be adversely affected. We expect that we will from time to time incur additional indebtedness and other liabilities. In
addition, we are not restricted under the indenture governing the Senior Notes from issuing preferred stock, paying dividends or issuing or repurchasing our
securities.
In addition, there are no financial covenants in the indenture. You are not protected under the indenture in the event of a highly leveraged transaction,
reorganization, default under our existing indebtedness, restructuring, merger or similar transaction that may adversely affect you, except to the extent the
merger covenant described under "Description of Debt Securities--Certain Covenants" in the accompanying prospectus would apply to the transaction.
An active trading market for the Senior Notes may not develop.
The Senior Notes constitute a new issue of securities, for which there is no existing market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the Senior Notes on any
securities exchange or for quotation of the Senior Notes in any automated dealer quotation system. We cannot provide you with any assurance regarding
whether a trading market for the Senior Notes will develop, the ability of holders of the Senior Notes to sell their Senior Notes or the prices at which
holders may be able to sell their Senior Notes. The underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the Senior Notes. The
underwriters, however, are not obligated to do so, and any market-making with respect to the Senior Notes may be discontinued at any time without notice.
You should also be aware that there may be a limited number of buyers when you decide to sell your Senior Notes. This may affect the price you receive
for your Senior Notes or your ability to sell your Senior Notes at all.
If a trading market for the Senior Notes develops, changes in our credit ratings or the debt markets, amongst others, could adversely affect the market
price of the Senior Notes.
Credit rating agencies continually review their ratings for the companies they follow, including us. A negative change in our rating could have an adverse
effect on the price of the Senior Notes. In addition to our creditworthiness, many factors affect the trading market for, and the trading value of, the Senior
Notes. These factors include: the time remaining to the maturity of the Senior Notes, the ranking of the Senior Notes, the outstanding amount of Senior
Notes with terms identical to the Senior Notes offered hereby, the prevailing interest rates being paid by other companies similar to us, our financial
condition, financial performance and future prospects and the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally. The condition of the financial
markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated significantly in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. Such fluctuations could have an
adverse effect on the price of the Senior Notes.
