Zelle at DATCU.
DATCU supports Zelle for eligible customers. Zelle can be useful for bank-to-bank transfers, but DATCUcontrols 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.
DATCU supports Zelle
Check Supply shows DATCU as Zelle-supported in the latest support data. Enroll through DATCU's own Zelle page or online banking flow to confirm eligibility before sending money.
Zelle limits from our research
Use these figures as researched guidelines, then confirm the current cap inside DATCU's online banking or mobile app before sending. If the payment exceeds DATCU's Zelle limit, use Check Supply to mail a check for the larger amount instead.
- Daily limit
- $2,000
- Max capacity notes
- Official DATCU Zelle Network terms say daily limits are based on usage and internal criteria, will not exceed $2,000, and are shown on the Zelle transfer page before a transfer is made.
- Account scope notes
- Zelle is available through DATCU digital banking for eligible accounts; individual daily limits may be lower based on usage and internal criteria.
These figures are informational guidelines from our research, not a guarantee that the same limits apply to every DATCUcustomer. 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.
Use Check Supply to send payments that do not fit Zelle's availability or transaction limits.
