EXHIBIT 99.3

STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL
OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS

I, James E. Rohr, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, state and attest that:

(1)      To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports
         of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (the "Company"), and, except
         as corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

         -        no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
                  fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
                  the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy
                  materials, as of the date on which it was filed); and

         -        no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary
                  to make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
                  circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
                  the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case
                  of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of
                  the date on which it was filed).

(2)      I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's audit
         committee.

(3)      In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
         before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

         -        the Annual Report on Form 10-K of The PNC Financial Services
                  Group, Inc. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 filed
                  with the Commission;

         -        all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
                  definitive proxy materials of The PNC Financial Services
                  Group, Inc., filed with the Commission subsequent to the
                  filing of the Form 10-K identified above; and

         -        any amendments to any of the foregoing.
