Zelle at First Option Bank.
First Option Bank supports Zelle for eligible customers. Zelle can be useful for bank-to-bank transfers, but First Option 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 Option Bank supports Zelle
Check Supply shows First Option Bank as Zelle-supported in the latest support data. Enroll through First Option 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 Option Bank's online banking or mobile app before sending. If the payment exceeds First Option Bank's Zelle limit, use Check Supply to mail a check for the larger amount instead.
- Max capacity notes
- Official First Option Bank Zelle page confirms Zelle availability but does not publish daily, weekly, monthly, or per-transfer send-limit amounts.
- Account scope notes
- Zelle is available in the First Option Bank mobile app for eligible enrolled U.S. accounts.
These figures are informational guidelines from our research, not a guarantee that the same limits apply to every First Option 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.
