Zelle at City Bank.
City Bank supports Zelle for eligible customers. Zelle can be useful for bank-to-bank transfers, but City Bankcontrols the account eligibility rules and transaction limits for its customers. When a payment is larger than Zelle's practical limits, Check Supply lets you send a real check instead.

These figures are informational guidelines from our research, not a guarantee that the same limits apply to every City Bankcustomer. Zelle availability, sending limits, and receiving limits may vary by institution, account, account type, recipient, customer relationship, security controls, and other factors. Check Supply is a separate mailed-check payment option for larger payments that do not fit within Zelle's per-transfer, daily, weekly, or monthly caps.
