How do I access Zelle® and online bill pay?

Zelle® is a great way to send money to family, friends and people you are familiar with, such as your personal trainer, babysitter or neighbor.¹

Since money is sent directly from your Gate City Bank account to another person’s bank account within minutes,¹ Zelle® should only be used to send money to friends, family and others you know and trust.

If you don’t know the person or aren’t sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site), you should not use Zelle®. These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don’t know is high risk.)

If you’ve already enrolled with Zelle®, no further action is needed. The money will be sent directly to your account, typically within minutes.¹

If you haven’t enrolled with Zelle®, take these steps:

1. Select the link in the payment notification you received.
2. Choose “Gate City Bank.”
3. Follow the instructions provided on the page to enroll and receive your payment.

Additionally, to ensure you receive your money, enroll with Zelle® using the same email address or U.S. mobile number through which you received the payment notification. And if you have any questions along the way, simply contact us. We’ll be happy to assist you!

The amount of money you can send, as well as the frequency, is set by each participating financial institution. To determine Gate City Bank send limits, call us at 800-423-3344.

At Gate City Bank, there are no limits to the amount of money you can receive with Zelle®. However, remember that the person sending you money will most likely have limits set by their own financial institution on the amount of money they can send you.

In order to use Zelle^®, the sender and recipient’s bank accounts must be based in the U.S.

You can only cancel a Zelle® payment if the person you sent money to hasn’t yet enrolled with Zelle®. To check whether the payment is still pending for this reason, simply visit your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel and then select “Cancel This Payment.”

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle®, the money is sent directly to their bank account and can’t be canceled. Remember: It’s important to only send money to people you trust. Also, always make sure you use the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.

If you sent money to the wrong person, please contact us right away so we may best assist you.
