Three large U.S. banks ended the third quarter of 2026 with higher average commercial lending, but their figures cover different loan categories and comparison periods. Credit measures also moved in different directions at PNC and Regions. U.S. Bancorp’s average commercial loans reached $150.9 billion for the quarter ended Sept. 30, up 12.5% from a year earlier. PNC’s average commercial loans increased $10.4 billion, or 4%, from the second quarter. Its year-over-year increase was $42.4 billion and included loans acquired with FirstBank. M&T’s average commercial and industrial loans totaled $65.9 billion, a 7% increase from a year earlier.
