Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority for FirstBank . When you use Zelle^® within our mobile app or online banking, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your bank account safe.

Zelle^® is a great way to send money to family, friends and people you are familiar with such as your personal trainer, babysitter or neighbor.¹

Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person's bank account within minutes, ¹ Zelle^® should only be used to send money to friends, family and others you trust.

If you don't know the person or aren't sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site), you should not use Zelle^®. These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don't know is high risk).

Neither FirstBank nor Zelle^® offers purchase protection for payments made with Zelle^® – for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.

If your recipient's financial institution isn't on the list, don't worry! The list of participating financial institutions is always growing, and your recipient can still use Zelle^® by downloading the Zelle^® app for Android and iOS.

To enroll with the Zelle^® app, your recipient will enter their basic contact information, an email address and U.S. mobile number and a Visa^®or Mastercard^® debit card with a U.S. based account (does not include U.S. territories). Zelle^® does not accept debit cards associated with international deposit accounts or any credit cards.

To use Zelle^®, the sender and recipient's bank accounts must be based in the U.S.

You can only cancel a payment if the person you sent money to hasn't yet enrolled with Zelle^®. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient hasn't yet enrolled, you can go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel and then select "Cancel This Payment."

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle^®, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why it's important to only send money to people you know and trust, and always ensure you've used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.

If you sent money to the wrong person, please immediately call our customer service at 1.866.456.2265 between the hours 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. EST,  so we can help you.

We offer you the flexibility to schedule payments to be sent at a later date if you like, or even set up recurring payments for things like regularly sending money to your college student.

Scheduled or recurring payments sent directly to your recipient's account number (instead of an email address or mobile number) are made available by FirstBank but are a separate service from Zelle^® and can take one to three business days to process. You can cancel a payment that is scheduled in advance if the money has not already been deducted from your account.

FirstBank does not charge fees to receive money with Zelle^® and we offer up to five transactions free per month². There is a fee to cancel a Zelle^® transaction that is still pending because the recipient hasn't yet enrolled. If the recipient doesn't enroll with Zelle^® within 14 days, the payment will naturally expire, the funds will be returned to your account and no fees will be assessed.

Your mobile carrier's messaging and data rates may apply.
