Zelle at First Bank.
First Bank supports Zelle for eligible customers. Zelle can be useful for bank-to-bank transfers, but First 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.
First Bank supports Zelle
Check Supply shows First Bank as Zelle-supported in the latest support data. Enroll through First Bank's own Zelle page or online banking flow to confirm eligibility before sending money.
Zelle limit guidance
Use these figures as researched guidelines, then confirm the current cap inside First Bank's online banking or mobile app before sending. If the payment exceeds First Bank's Zelle limit, use Check Supply to mail a check for the larger amount instead.
- Max capacity notes
- Official First Bank (AK) Zelle page confirms availability but does not publish send-limit amounts.
- Account scope notes
- Zelle is available through First Bank (AK) online banking, mobile banking, and Bill Pay for eligible enrolled accounts.
These figures are informational guidelines from our research, not a guarantee that the same limits apply to every First 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.
Use Check Supply to send payments that do not fit Zelle's availability or transaction limits.
