Thanks to a longstanding cultivation of local banking talent and infrastructure, together with the expanded reach and capabilities afforded by an increasingly virtual and tech-enabled world, the contributions and impact of PNC’s Rocky Mount employees – many of whom support operations for the entire enterprise – extend beyond the scale and scope of the Twin Counties. “I will always call Rocky Mount home, and I’m fortunate to lead a team that contributes to making this community a great place to live and work, while also making an impact for PNC customers throughout the country,” says Taylor.

Rocky Mount’s rich banking legacy dates back to 1899, when Planters National Bank was established to serve the needs of local farmers, manufacturers and merchants of tobacco and cotton products.

Following PNC Bank’s acquisition of RBC Bank (USA), PNC curated a PNC Legacy Project exhibit at the Imperial Centre for the Arts & Sciences to honor the legacy of banking and predecessor financial institutions in Rocky Mount. Rose was among the employees who visited the exhibit. “I appreciated the installation because PNC acknowledged the importance of banking to the history of Rocky Mount,” she says. “Ten years later, PNC has continued to respect this legacy and make meaningful investments in this community.”
