"Biller" is the person or entity to which you wish a bill payment to be directed or is the person or entity from which you receive electronic bills, as the case may be.
"Billing Account" is the checking account from which all Bill Pay Service fees will be automatically debited.
"Due Date" is the date reflected on your Biller statement for which the payment is due, not the late payment date or the date beginning or a date during any grace period.
"Eligible Transaction Account" is as defined in Section 2.a above (Key Definitions), except that it shall be limited to an account that you hold with us, and from which bill payments will be debited.
"Exception Payments" means payments to deposit accounts or brokerage accounts, payments to settle securities transactions (including, without limitation, stocks, bonds, securities, futures (forex), options, or an investment interest in any entity or property).
"Payment Instruction" is as defined in Section 2.a above (Key Definitions), and is further defined as the information provided by you to the Bill Pay Service for a bill payment to be made to the Biller (such as, but not limited to, Biller name, Biller account number, and Scheduled Payment Date).

"Scheduled Payment Date" is the day you want your Biller to receive your bill payment, unless the Scheduled Payment Date falls on a non-Business Day in which case it will be considered to be the previous Business Day.
6.k.2. Description of the Service. The Bill Pay Service provides you with the ability to receive, view and pay bills from the Site. We do not recommend frequent bill payments from savings or money market accounts due to transaction restrictions as described in Section 2.t above (Restrictions on Transfers from your Savings and Money Market Accounts).

6.k.4. Payment Scheduling. The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller will be designated within the portion of the Site through which the Bill Pay Service is offered when you are scheduling the payment. Therefore, the Bill Pay Service will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Biller. When scheduling payments you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Biller statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period. Depending on the method of payment, your Eligible Transaction Account may be debited prior to the Scheduled Payment Date. For example, if the selected method of payment is a draft, the draft arrives earlier than the Scheduled Payment Date due to expedited delivery by the postal service, and the Biller immediately deposits the draft, your Eligible Transaction Account may be debited earlier than the Scheduled Payment Date.
6.k.5. The Service Guarantee. Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Bill Pay Service, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Billers or financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your account. The Bill Pay Service will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the Section 6.k.4 above (Payment Scheduling).
6.k.6. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance. By providing the Bill Pay Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Bill Pay Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the Site. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Bill Pay Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Biller directives.
When the Bill Pay Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the Bill Pay Service to debit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. You also authorize the Bill Pay Service to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for payments returned to the Bill Pay Service by the United States Postal Service or Biller, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized user of the Bill Pay Service.
The Bill Pay Service will attempt to make all your payments properly. However, the Bill Pay Service shall incur no liability and any Service Guarantee (as described in Section 6.k.5 above (The Service Guarantee)) shall be void if the Bill Pay Service is unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
- If, through no fault of the Bill Pay Service, your Eligible Transaction Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
- The payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Bill Pay Service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
- You have not provided the Bill Pay Service with the correct Eligible Transaction Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Biller; and/or,
- Circumstances beyond control of the Bill Pay Service (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Bill Pay Service has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.
Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Bill Pay Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Eligible Transaction Account or causes funds from your Eligible Transaction Account to be directed to a Biller which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, the Bill Pay Service shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Eligible Transaction Account, and for directing to the proper Biller any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.
6.k.7. Payment Cancellation Requests. You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the portion of the Site through which the Bill Pay Service is offered. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once the Bill Pay Service has begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted.
6.k.8. Stop Payment Requests. The Bill Pay Service's ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared. The Bill Pay Service may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact Customer Support for the Bill Pay Service at the telephone number provided in Section 2.p above (Notices to Us). Although the Bill Pay Service will attempt to accommodate your request, the Bill Pay Service will have no liability for failing to do so. The Bill Pay Service may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.
6.k.9. Exception Payments Requests. Exception Payments may be scheduled through the Bill Pay Service; however Exception Payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk. In no event shall the Bill Pay Service be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of Exception Payments. The Service Guarantee (as described in Section 6.k.5 above (The Service Guarantee)) as it applies to any late payment related charges is void when Exception Payments are scheduled and/or processed by the Bill Pay Service. The Bill Pay Service has no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from an Exception Payment; all research and resolution for any misapplied, mis-posted or misdirected payments will be the sole responsibility of you and not of the Bill Pay Service.
6.k.10. Bill Delivery and Presentment. The Bill Pay Service includes a feature that electronically presents you with electronic bills from select Billers. Electronic bills may not be available from all of your Billers. Electronic bills are provided as a convenience only, and you remain solely responsible for contacting your Billers directly if you do not receive their statements. In addition, if you elect to activate one of the Bill Pay Service's electronic bill options, you also agree to the following:
- Presentation of electronic bills – You will receive electronic bills from a Biller only if both: (a) you have designated it in the Bill Pay Service as one of your Billers, and (b) the Biller has arranged with our Service Provider to deliver electronic bills. The Bill Pay Service may then present you with electronic bills from that Biller if either: (1) you affirmatively elect online within the Bill Pay Service to receive electronic bills from the Biller, or (2) the Biller chooses to send you electronic bills on a temporary “trial basis.” In either case, you can elect online within the Bill Pay Service to stop receiving electronic bills from a Biller. Electing to receive electronic bills, automatically receiving trial electronic bills, and declining further elected or trial electronic bills all occur on an individual Biller basis. The Bill Pay Service does not include an option to prevent ever participating in the automatic trial electronic bill feature. When affirmatively electing to receive electronic bills from a particular Biller, you may be presented with terms from that Biller for your acceptance. We are not a party to such terms.
- Paper Copies of electronic bills – If you start receiving electronic bills from a Biller, the Biller may stop sending you paper or other statements. The ability to receive a paper copy of your statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Biller. Check with the individual Biller regarding your ability to obtain paper copies of electronic bills on a regular or as-requested basis.
- Sharing Information with Billers – You authorize us to share identifying personal information about you (such as name, address, telephone number, Biller account number) with companies that you have identified as your Billers and which we have identified as offering electronic bills for purposes of matching your identity on the Bill Pay Service’s records and the Biller’s records to (a) activate your affirmative request for electronic bills, and/or (b) confirm your eligibility for “trial basis” electronic bills.
- Information held by the Biller. We are unable to update or change your personal information such as, but not limited to, name, address, phone numbers and email addresses that are held by the Biller. Any changes will require you to contact the Biller directly. Additionally it is your responsibility to maintain all usernames and passwords for all electronic Biller sites. You also agree not to use someone else's information to gain unauthorized access to another person's bill. We may, at the request of the Biller, provide to the Biller your email address, service address, or other data specifically requested by the Biller for purposes of the Biller matching your identity against its records or informing you about the Biller’s services and/or bill information.
- Activation. We will notify the Biller of your request to receive electronic billing information. The presentment of your first electronic bill may vary from Biller to Biller and may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. While your electronic bill feature is being activated it is your responsibility to keep your accounts current. Each electronic Biller reserves the right to accept or deny your request to receive electronic bills.
- Authorization to obtain bill data. You authorize us to obtain bill data from your Billers that you have requested to send you electronic bills, and from your Billers that wish to send you trial electronic bills. For some Billers, you will be asked to provide us with your user name and password for that Biller. By providing us with such information, you authorize us to use the information to obtain your bill data.
- Notification. We will attempt to present all of your electronic bills promptly. In addition to notification within the Bill Pay Service, we may send an e-mail notification to the e-mail address listed for your account. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that this information is accurate. In the event you do not receive notification, it is your responsibility to periodically logon to the Bill Pay Service and check on the delivery of new electronic bills. The time for notification may vary from Biller to Biller. You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.
- Cancellation of electronic bill notification. The electronic Biller reserves the right to cancel the presentment of electronic bills at any time. You may cancel electronic bill presentment at any time. The timeframe for cancellation of your electronic bill presentment may vary from Biller to Biller. It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. We will notify your electronic Biller(s) as to the change in status of your account and it is your sole responsibility to make arrangements for an alternative form of bill delivery. We will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of cancellation.
- Non-Delivery of electronic bill(s). You agree to hold us harmless should the Biller fail to deliver your statement(s). You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills. Copies of previously delivered bills must be requested from the Biller directly.
- Accuracy and dispute of electronic bill. We are not responsible for the accuracy of your electronic bill(s). We are only responsible for presenting the information we receive from the Biller. Any discrepancies or disputes regarding the accuracy of your electronic bill summary or detail must be directly addressed and resolved with the Biller by you.
This Agreement does not alter your liability or obligations that currently exist between you and your Billers.
6.k.11. Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties. It is our general policy to treat your account information as confidential. However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transactions you make in the following situations pursuant to our Privacy Statement (as further described in Section 2.u. above (Privacy), in addition to the circumstances set forth in Section 2.x above (Information Authorization):
1. Where it is necessary for completing transactions;
2. Where it is necessary for activating additional services;
3. In order to verify the existence and condition of your account to a third party, such as a credit bureau or Biller;
4. To a consumer reporting agency for research purposes only;
5. In order to comply with a governmental agency or court orders; or,
6. If you give us your written permission.
6.k.12. Biller Limitation. The Bill Pay Service reserves the right to refuse to pay any Biller to whom you may direct a payment. The Bill Pay Service will notify you promptly if it decides to refuse to pay a Biller designated by you. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited payment as set forth in Section 3.c above (Prohibited Payments) or an Exception Payment under this Agreement.
6.k.13. Returned Payments. In using the Bill Pay Service, you understand that Billers and/or the United States Postal Service may return payments to the Bill Pay Service for various reasons such as, but not limited to, Biller's forwarding address expired; Biller account number is not valid; Biller is unable to locate account; or Biller account is paid in full. The Bill Pay Service will attempt to research and correct the returned payment and return it to your Biller, or void the payment and credit your Eligible Transaction Account. You may receive notification from the Bill Pay Service.
6.k.14. Information Authorization. In addition to Section 2.x above (Information Authorization), you agree that the Bill Pay Service reserves the right to obtain financial information regarding your account from a Biller or your financial institution (for example, to resolve payment posting problems or for verification).
6.l. Account to Account Transfers.
6.l.1. Key Definitions. The following definitions apply to this Section 6.l.
"Eligible Transaction Account" is as defined in Section 2.a above (Key Definitions), except that it shall be limited to a checking, money market or savings account that you hold with us.
"External Account" is as defined in Section 2.a. above (Key Definitions), except that it is your account at another financial institution (i) to which you are transferring funds from your Eligible Transaction Account; or (ii) from which you are transferring funds to your Eligible Transaction Account.
"Transfer Account" means a checking, money market or savings account that is either an Eligible Transaction Account or External Account, as applicable.
"Transfer Instruction" is a specific Payment Instruction (as defined in Section 2.a above (Key Definitions)) that you provide to the Account to Account Transfer Service for a transfer of funds.
6.l.2. Description of the Service. The Account to Account Transfer Service provides you with the ability to transfer funds between Eligible Transaction Accounts that you maintain with us and your accounts that are maintained by other financial institutions. You must be enrolled in the Basic Online Banking Service and/or the Basic Mobile Banking Service to receive the Account to Account Transfer Service. Business Accounts (other than Closely Held Business Accounts) are not eligible for this Service.
6.l.3. Cutoff Time. Transfer Instructions entered before 11:00 PM Mountain Time (for Standard Transfers) and 5:00 PM Mountain Time (for Express Pay Transfers) on a Business Day will begin processing on that Business Day and Transfer Instructions that are entered after these cutoff times will begin processing on the next Business Day. Whether a transfer designated as an Express Pay Transfer occurs as an Express Pay Transfer is also dependent upon the receiving bank’s processes.
6.l.4. Processing of Transfers. When we receive a Transfer Instruction from you, you authorize us to (i) debit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf to the External Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Transfer Account as described below in Section 6.l.8 below (Service Fees and Additional Charges); or, as applicable, to (ii) credit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf from the External Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Transfer Account as described below in Section 6.l.8 below (Service Fees and Additional Charges). You also authorize us to reverse a transfer from the applicable Transfer Account if the debit is returned from the other Transfer Account in the transaction for any reason, including but not limited to nonsufficient funds.
We will use reasonable efforts to make all your transfers properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transfers initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
- If, through no fault of ours, the Eligible Transaction Account or External Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transfer or the transfer would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
- The Account to Account Transfer Service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
- The transfer is refused as described in Section 6.l.9 below (Refused Transfers);
- You have not provided us with the correct information, including but not limited to the correct Eligible Transaction Account or External Account information; and/or,
- Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, network or system down time, issues with the financial institution(s), or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transfer and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.
It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of any information that you enter into the Account to Account Transfer Service, and for informing us as soon as possible if you become aware that this information is inaccurate. You may not use a P.O. Box as a postal address. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a transfer made to the wrong Transfer Account once informed, but we do not guarantee such recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by you.
6.l.5. Transfer Methods and Amounts. Section 3.d above (Payment Methods and Amounts) applies to the Account to Account Transfer Service, even in circumstances where the External Account is closed and we are attempting to return funds to such Transfer Account.
6.l.6. Transfer Cancellation Requests and Refused Transfers. You may cancel a transfer at any time until it begins processing (as shown in the Account to Account Transfer Service). We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied transfer to your Transfer Account that we debited for the funds transfer. If this is unsuccessful (for example, the Eligible Transaction Account has been closed) we will make reasonable attempts to otherwise return the funds to you.
6.l.7. Stop Payment Requests. If you desire to stop any transfer that has already been processed, you must contact Customer Support for the Account to Account Transfer Service at the telephone number provided in Section 2.p above (Notices to Us). Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.
6.l.8. Service Fees and Additional Charges. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with your use of the Account to Account Transfer Service. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the Account to Account Transfer Service or Site. Any applicable fees will be charged regardless of whether the Account to Account Transfer Service was used, except for fees that are specifically use-based. Use-based fees for the Account to Account Transfer Service will be charged against the Transfer Account that is debited for the funds transfer. There may also be charges for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from the applicable Eligible Transaction Account you hold with us or the Transfer Account that is debited for the funds transfer, depending on how such charges are described in the user interface for the Account to Account Transfer Service. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and Internet service provider. Section 3.g above (Failed or Returned Payment Instructions) applies if you do not pay our fees and charges for the Account to Account Transfer Service, including without limitation if we debit the External Account for such fees, as described in this Section, and there are insufficient fees in the External Account; Section 3.g above (Failed or Returned Payment Instructions) should be interpreted as applying to the External Account, not just the Eligible Transaction Account, in such circumstances.
6.l.9. Refused Transfers. We reserve the right to refuse any transfer. We will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to transfer funds. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a transfer that is not allowed under this Agreement.
6.l.10. Returned Transfers. In using the Account to Account Transfer Service, you understand transfers may be returned for various reasons such as, but not limited to, the External Account number is not valid. We will use reasonable efforts to research and correct the transfer to the intended Transfer Account or void the transfer and credit your Transfer Account from which you attempted to transfer funds. You may receive notification from us.
6.m. Zelle.
6.m.1. Key Definitions. The following definitions apply to this Section 6.m.
"Zelle Request" means functionality that, if provided to you, allows a Requestor to request that another individual initiate a Payment Instruction to the Requestor through the Popmoney Service.
"Receiver" is a person or business entity that is sent a Payment Instruction through the Zelle Service.
"Requestor" is a person that requests an individual to initiate a Payment Instruction through the Zelle Service.
"Sender" is a person or business entity that sends a Payment Instruction through the Zelle Service.
6.m.2. Description of the Service. We have partnered with the Zelle Network® (“Zelle®”) to enable a convenient way to transfer money between you and other Users using aliases, such as email addresses or mobile phone numbers (“Zelle® Payment Service,” as further described below). Zelle® provides no deposit account or other financial services. Zelle® neither transfers nor moves money. You may not establish a financial account with Zelle® of any kind. All money will be transmitted by a Network Financial Institution. THE ZELLE® PAYMENT SERVICE IS INTENDED TO SEND MONEY TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND OTHERS YOU TRUST. YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE ZELLE® PAYMENT SERVICE OR OTHER PAYMENT SERVICES TO SEND MONEY TO RECIPIENTS WITH WHOM YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR OR YOU DO NOT TRUST. The term “Zelle® and Other Payment Terms” means these Zelle® and Other Payment Services Additional Terms. Use of the Zelle Network and Payment Service is governed by the Zelle General Terms and this Agreement.
- In addition to the Zelle® Payment Service, we provide other payment services under these Terms of Service. First, these additional services allow you to send money to people if you provide the Eligible Transaction Account information and other contact information for the Receiver; such transactions are not sent via Zelle®. Second, outside Zelle®, we allow you to establish a one-time payment for a payment recipient for which processing shall be initiated at a later specified date up to one (1) year. Third, outside Zelle®, we enable you to establish a recurring series of payments to a payment recipient for which processing shall be initiated on dates you specify. These three payment services and any other payment services that we provide under these Zelle® and Other Payment Terms are referred to as “Other Payment Services” in these Zelle® and Other Payment Terms. Although future-dated payments and recurring payments are outside Zelle®, we may ultimately send those transactions via Zelle® when the applicable date of payment arrives, in which case the applicable payment transaction is part of the Zelle® Payment Service, not the Other Payment Services. The term “Zelle® and Other Payment Services” means the Zelle® Payment Service and the Other Payment Services.
- The Zelle® and Other Payment Services enable you: (1) to initiate a Payment Instruction from an Eligible Transaction Account to an account at a U.S. financial institution; and/or (2) to receive a payment from another person into an Eligible Transaction Account, in U.S. dollars. All payments must be made through the Site and are subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time. Receipt of payments may be made through the Site and is subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time. In some instances, receipt of payments may be made through other locations besides our Site, such as the Zelle® mobile handset application (“Zelle® Standalone Locations”) and if you choose to initiate or receive a payment at a Zelle® Standalone Location you acknowledge and agree that you shall be subject to the terms of other agreements, including, but not limited to, the “terms of use” for the Zelle® Standalone Locations and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Zelle® and Other Payment Services are generally available 24 hours, seven days a week with the exception of outages for maintenance and circumstances beyond our or Zelle®’s control. Live customer service generally will be available Monday through Friday, excluding US financial institution holidays.
- The Zelle® Payment Service allows for the delivery of payments to Receivers who are also enrolled in the Zelle® Payment Service through a Payment Network designed to deliver payments on the same day and potentially within minutes, although actual speed will vary, as described below. The Zelle® and Other Payment Services are not instantaneous. Payment delivery speed may vary based upon the fraud, risk and other funds availability policy of each financial institution and Payment Network availability. We are not responsible for the performance, speed, or other acts or omissions of the Payment Networks that may be involved in the transmission of a payment. We shall not be obligated to comply with the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) Rules in such recovery efforts or otherwise in connection with Zelle® and Other Payments unless the applicable transaction is transmitted through the ACH network. We are only responsible for delivery of the applicable Payment Instructions to the applicable Payment Network in the format required by the applicable Payment Network’s specifications.
6.m.3. Settlement Cutoff Time.
The cut-off time to initiate a payment for Standard (Next Day) and Standard (3-Day) is 10PM PT. Instant payments do not have a cutoff time since those payments are authorized immediately.
6.m.4. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance.
- Section 12 of the Zelle General Terms does not apply to the Zelle® Payment Service. When you enroll to use the Zelle® Payment Service or when you permit others to whom you have delegated to act on your behalf to use or access the Zelle® Payment Service, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You represent that you have the authority to authorize debits and credits to the enrolled bank account. In addition to the restrictions set forth in Section 13 of the Zelle General Terms, you agree that you will not use the Zelle® and Other Payment Services to send money to anyone to whom you are obligated for tax payments, payments made pursuant to court orders (including court-ordered amounts for alimony or child support), fines, payments to loan sharks, gambling debts or payments otherwise prohibited by law, and you agree that you will not use the Zelle® and Other Payment Services to request money from anyone for any such payments. You agree that you will not authorize a third party to use the Zelle® Payment Service or share your credentials with a third party to use the Zelle® Payment Service on your behalf except in legally authorized situations such as legal guardianship or pursuant to a power of attorney.
- This Section 2(b) does not apply to the Zelle® Small Business Service (to the extent made available by us). The Zelle® and Other Payment Services are intended for personal, not business or commercial use. You agree that you will not use the Zelle® and Other Payment Services to send or receive payments in connection with your business or commercial enterprise. We reserve the right to decline your enrollment if we believe that you are enrolling to use the Zelle® and Other Payment Services with your business account or to receive business or commercial payments. We further reserve the right to suspend or terminate your use of the Zelle® Payment Service if we believe that you are using the Zelle® Payment Service for business or commercial purposes, or for any unlawful purpose.
- You must provide us with an email address that you regularly use and intend to use regularly (i.e., no disposable email addresses) and a permanent mobile phone number that you intend to use for an extended period of time (i.e., no “burner” numbers). You may not enroll in the Service with a landline phone number, Google Voice number, or Voice over Internet Protocol. Once enrolled, you may: (i) authorize a debit of your account to send money to another User either at your initiation or at the request of that User; and (ii) receive money from another User either at that User’s initiation or at your request, subject to the conditions of the Section below titled “Requesting Payments.” If at any time while you are enrolled, you do not send or receive money using the Zelle® Payment Service for a period of 18 consecutive months, then you understand that we may cancel your enrollment and you will not be able to send or receive money with the Zelle® Payment Service until you enroll again. Once enrolled, a Z logo will appear on your profile picture for each U.S. mobile number and/or email address that you have enrolled with Zelle®. The Z logo will be displayed to other Users to aid them in determining which of your U.S mobile numbers or email addresses should be used to send money with Zelle®. If a User sends you money using a different U.S. mobile number or email address that they may have for you (one that is not already enrolled), you will receive a message with instructions on how to enroll with Zelle®.
- When you enroll with Zelle®, you may establish one or more profiles. Each profile may be linked to only one bank account or debit card, but you may enroll multiple email addresses or mobile phone numbers in each profile. Once you have enrolled an email address or a mobile phone number with a profile, you may not use that same email address or phone number with any other profile. By providing us with names and mobile telephone numbers and/or email addresses of Receivers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions that we receive through the Zelle® Payment Service. By providing us with names, bank account information and other contact information for Receivers to whom you wish to direct a payment via the Other Payment Service, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions that we receive via the Other Payment Services. Once enrolled, you authorize us to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for payments remitted to you on behalf of a Sender without further approval from you.
- When we receive a Payment Instruction from you, you authorize us to debit your Eligible Transaction Account for the amount of any such Payment Instruction plus any related fees in effect (and as disclosed on the Site) at the time you initiate the Payment Instruction, and to remit funds on your behalf. You acknowledge and agree that any applicable fees will be charged when we receive a Payment Instruction from you, regardless of whether the Payment Instruction is ultimately completed. You also authorize us to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for the receipt of payments, including, but not limited to, those payments returned to us from Receivers to whom you sent payment(s) and those payments that were cancelled and returned to you because the processing of the Payment Instruction could not be completed.
- You agree that we will not be liable in any way for any payments that you may receive, regardless of whether you authorized the Sender to send them to you.
- We will use reasonable efforts to complete all your Payment Instructions properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transaction because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
- If, through no fault of ours, the Eligible Transaction Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the Payment Instruction or the Payment Instruction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
- The Zelle® and Other Payment Services are not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the Payment Instruction;
- The payment is refused as described in Section 6 of the Zelle® and Other Payment Terms below;
- You have not provided us with the correct information, including, but not limited to, the correct Payment Instructions or Eligible Transaction Account information, or the correct name and address or mobile phone number of the Receiver to whom you are initiating a Payment Instruction; and/or,
- Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, network or system down time, issues with the financial institution, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the Payment Instruction.
- It is the responsibility of the Sender and the Receiver to ensure the accuracy of any information that they enter into the Zelle® and Other Payment Services (including, but not limited to, the Payment Instructions and name, telephone number and/or email address for the Receiver to whom you are attempting to send a payment), and for informing us as soon as possible if they become aware that this information is inaccurate. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a payment made to the wrong person or entity once informed, but we do not guarantee such stoppage or recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by the Sender or Receiver.
6.m.5. Sending Payments.
You may send money to another User at your initiation or in response to that User’s request for money. You understand that use of the Zelle® and Other Payment Services by you shall at all times be subject to (i) this Agreement, and (ii) your express authorization at the time of the transaction for us or another Network Financial Institution to initiate a debit entry to your bank account. You understand that when you send the payment, you will have no ability to stop it. When a Sender initiates a Payment Instruction, the Receiver is not required to accept the payment if the Receiver has not enrolled in Zelle®. You agree that you as a Sender will not hold us liable for any damages resulting from a Receiver not enrolling in Zelle®. For the Zelle® Payment Service, you may only cancel a payment if the person to whom you sent the money has not yet enrolled in the Zelle® Payment Service. As to the Zelle® Payment Service, if the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle®, either in the Zelle® Standalone Locations or with a Network Financial Institution, then the money is sent directly to their bank account (except as otherwise provided below) and may not be canceled or revoked. Cancellation is addressed more generally in Section 6 (Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments) below. You may initiate a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated immediately via Zelle®. Via the Other Payment Services, you may also initiate (a) a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated at a later specified date up to one (1) year, and (b) a recurring series of Payment Instructions to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated on the specified dates. Further details about each of these options can be found on the Site.
- Payment Instructions initiated to Receivers require you to provide contact information about the Receiver (including an email address and/or mobile telephone number). If the Receiver does not bank at a Network Financial Institution and has not yet enrolled in Zelle®, then the Zelle® Payment Service will contact the Receiver and request that the Receiver (i) provide information so that the identity of the Receiver may be validated at a Zelle® Standalone Location and then (ii) provide Eligible Transaction Account information in order to complete the Payment Instruction (a “Two-Step Transfer”). If the Receiver maintains an Eligible Transaction Account with a Network Financial Institution and has not yet enrolled in Zelle®, then the Zelle® Payment Service will contact the Receiver regarding enrollment in Zelle® and receipt of payment. If the Receiver has already enrolled in Zelle®, then the Receiver will receive a message regarding your payment.
- Via the Other Payment Services, we also support the sending of money to Receivers if you provide the Eligible Transaction Account information for the Receiver and other contact information for the Receiver; such transactions are not sent via Zelle®. You acknowledge and agree that if your Payment Instructions identify an account by name and account number, the relevant financial institution may execute those Payment Instructions by reference to the account number only, even if such account number does not correspond to the account name. You further acknowledge and agree that financial institutions holding the account may choose to not investigate discrepancies between account names and account numbers. We have no responsibility to investigate discrepancies between account names and account numbers, outside of our obligations under the law to investigate errors, described above in Section 22 of the Zelle General Terms (Errors, Questions, and Complaints).
- In most cases, when you are sending money to another User using the Zelle® Payment Service, the transfer will occur in minutes; however, there are circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle® and the other Network Financial Institutions, we may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person receiving the money. If you are sending money to someone who has not enrolled as a User with Zelle®, either via a Zelle® Standalone Location or a Network Financial Institution, they will receive a text or email notification instructing them on how to enroll to receive the money. You understand and acknowledge that a person to whom you are sending money and who is not enrolling as a User may fail to enroll with Zelle®, or otherwise ignore the payment notification, and the transfer may not occur. The money may also be delayed or the transfer may be blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e., email, push notification). We have no control over the actions of other Users, other Network Financial Institutions or other financial institutions that could delay or prevent your money from being delivered to the intended User.
- For the Other Payment Services and those Zelle® Payment Service payments where the Site indicates payment will require more than a Business Day, you understand and agree that when you initiate a Payment Instruction from an Eligible Transaction Account, the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the day of such initiation. However, you and the Receiver should not expect the payment funds to be transferred into the Receiver's Eligible Transaction Account any earlier than the next Business Day after you initiated the Payment Instruction. As part of the Other Payment Services, if you request a one-time Payment Instruction to be initiated on a specified date or a recurring series of Payment Instruction to be initiated on specified dates, then the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin on the specified date and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the specified date(s). However, you and the Receiver should not expect the payment funds to be transferred into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account any earlier than the next Business Day following the specified date.

Once a User initiates a transfer of money to your email address, mobile phone number, or Zelle® tag enrolled with the Zelle® Payment Service, you have no ability to stop the transfer. Other Payment Service payments may be cancelled by the Sender as set forth in Section 6 (Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments) below.

You understand and agree that there may be a delay between the time you are notified of the pending Payment Instruction and the deposit of the payment funds into your Eligible Transaction Account, and you may be required to take additional steps to facilitate the deposit of the payment of funds into your Eligible Transaction Account, such as if we have questions regarding possible fraud in connection with the payment.
