- Max capacity notes
- Official PenFed Zelle FAQ says PenFed sets send amount and frequency and customers should call service to determine send limits.
- Account scope notes
- Zelle is available in the PenFed app and online banking; receiving has no PenFed dollar limit stated.
These figures are informational guidelines from our research, not a guarantee that the same limits apply to every PenFed Credit Unioncustomer. 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.
