Venmo customers from Pittsburgh-based PNC Bank can no longer transfer funds to their Venmo accounts due to a change made by PNC.

This change has disrupted financial transfers and led to a public back-and-forth between Venmo and the bank. PNC has encouraged frustrated customers to move to Zelle, a Venmo competitor operated by a network of banks.

As part of a security upgrade, PNC stopped Plaid, a third-party data aggregator, from accessing PNC customers' account and routing information. PNC made this decision after determining that multiple different aggregators had tried subverting the bank's security controls.
