PNC Business Credit
PNC Business Credit is the asset-based lending arm of US bank PNC Financial Services Group. UK reach is via cross-border facilities into UK groups with US parent or sister operations, rather than through a dedicated UK operating entity. Not a domestic UK SME lender. Useful only for upper-mid-market and larger UK borrowers within a transatlantic group structure.
