Zelle at Universal Bank.
Universal Bank supports Zelle for eligible customers. Zelle can be useful for bank-to-bank transfers, but Universal 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.
Universal Bank supports Zelle
Check Supply shows Universal Bank as Zelle-supported in the latest support data. Enroll through Universal 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 Universal Bank's online banking or mobile app before sending. If the payment exceeds Universal Bank's Zelle limit, use Check Supply to mail a check for the larger amount instead.
- Max capacity notes
- Official Universal Bank online banking agreement says a daily dollar send limit applies, but it does not publish the dollar amount.
- Account scope notes
- Zelle requires an eligible Universal Bank account; limits are set per customer regardless of number of accounts.
These figures are informational guidelines from our research, not a guarantee that the same limits apply to every Universal 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.
