Just send a check.
Zelle is convenient when a payment fits cleanly inside the bank's rules, but larger or time-sensitive payments can get stuck behind per-transfer caps, daily caps, weekly caps, monthly caps, account-profile rules, and recipient-specific controls. If you need the payment to go out without guessing whether American Express will approve the transfer, Check Supply gives you a direct check-based payment path with clearer delivery options and tracking.
Use Check Supply when the important part is getting the recipient paid, not working around Zelle's limit system. Send the payment as a mailed check, choose the delivery speed, add tracking and signature-required delivery when needed, and keep a record of the payment from creation through delivery.
No Zelle-style caps
Check Supply payments are not constrained by Zelle per-transfer, daily, weekly, or monthly sending limits.
Delivery options
Choose standard mail or faster options, including overnight delivery when timing matters.
Tracking visibility
Use tracking numbers and delivery updates instead of wondering whether a payment moved.
Signature required
Add signature-required delivery for payments where proof of receipt matters.
Payments Delivered.
If the payment is important, time-sensitive, or larger than what Zelle will allow, send it through Check Supply instead. You can send a secure payment, choose delivery speed, require a signature, and keep a tracking record for the recipient.
