Zelle limit guidance

- Max capacity notes
- Potential institution mismatch: the batch institution homepage is 1stfed.com, while the Zelle directory URL points to ffbf.com, another same-name First Federal Bank page that does not publish limits.
- Account scope notes
- Do not apply ffbf.com Zelle limit conclusions to the 1stfed.com institution without manual mapping review.
These figures are informational guidelines from our research, not a guarantee that the same limits apply to every First Federal 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.
