For your safety and security, only send money to people you know and trust. You can send money to friends and family throughout the United States with a valid email address or mobile number, even if they don’t bank with us.
No. All you need is the person’s email or phone number.
Sending money using the web-based version of Exchange OnLine only allows users to send via email . Although it may give you an option to send to a mobile number when using a small screen-size, like a smartphone, the link to claim funds is not produced. Please download the mobile app to send funds to a mobile number.
Delivery is often near‑instant when the recipient’s bank is “on-network.” If it is “off-network,” the recipient will follow a simple process to claim the funds securely.
Transfer limits are in place to help protect your account. To inquire about specific limits, contact us during business hours to speak to a customer service representative.

Yes, like Zelle®, Venmo or PayPal, Pay People serves the same purpose, but it keeps everything inside our secure online banking product. That means fewer logins, fewer apps, less exposure to scams or spoofed messages, and funds backed by FDIC insurance.
Unclaimed payments will be placed back in your account if not claimed within 72 hours.
Canceling a payment is not always possible. Be sure you are sending funds to a person you know and trust, and verify you are using the correct email or phone number before hitting “send.”
On-Network means the recipients phone or email are associated with a debit card that is linked to the Pay People network. The funds are instantly transferred. No notifications are sent unless the users have alerts turned on for their debit card.
Off-Network transfers are made with debit cards not in same network as Pay People. The recipient will receive an email or text notification and will have to follow a link to claim the funds.
When you send a payment, the recipient enters their debit card to have the funds transferred to their bank account. A small percentage of debit card issuers cannot accept payment. If the person you are trying to pay tries using a card that does not work, they will receive a message that says “Oh no… this card was not accepted at this time…” You can resend payment for them to claim funds using a different debit card.
