Zelle at LAFCU.
LAFCU supports Zelle for eligible customers. Zelle can be useful for bank-to-bank transfers, but LAFCUcontrols 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.
LAFCU supports Zelle
Check Supply shows LAFCU as Zelle-supported in the latest support data. Enroll through LAFCU'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 LAFCU's online banking or mobile app before sending. If the payment exceeds LAFCU's Zelle limit, use Check Supply to mail a check for the larger amount instead.

These figures are informational guidelines from our research, not a guarantee that the same limits apply to every LAFCUcustomer. 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.
