Is my information secure?

Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority for Heritage Bank & Trust. When you use Zelle® within our mobile app or online banking, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your bank account safe. 

Who can I send money to with Zelle®?

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.

Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person's bank account within minutes, Zelle® should only be used to send money to friends, family and people you know and trust, such as your personal trainer, babysitter or neighbor.

If you don't know the person or aren't sure you'll 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).

Neither Heritage Bank & Trust nor Zelle® offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle® – for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.

What if I want to send money to someone whose financial institution doesn't offer Zelle®?

As of March 31, 2025, all users must be enrolled through one of the more than 2,200 banks and credit unions that offer Zelle® in order to send and receive money. You can find a full list of participating banks and credit unions live with Zelle® at Zellepay.com. If their bank or credit union is not listed, we recommend you use another payment method at this time.

Can I use Zelle® internationally?

To use Zelle,® the sender and recipient's bank accounts must be based in the U.S.

Can I reverse or cancel a payment?

No, Zelle® payments cannot be reversed.

You can only cancel a payment if the person you sent money to hasn't yet enrolled with Zelle®. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient hasn't yet enrolled, go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel and then select "Cancel This Payment." If you do not see this option available, please contact our customer support team at 931-388-1970 for assistance with canceling the pending payment.

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle® through their bank or credit union’s mobile app or online banking, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why it's important to only send money to people you know and trust and always ensure you've used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.

If you sent money to the wrong person, please call us immediately at (931) 388-1970 to determine what options are available.

What are scheduled and recurring payments?

We offer you the flexibility to schedule payments to be sent at a later date or set up recurring payments for things like regularly sending money to your college student.

Note: Scheduled or recurring payments sent directly to your recipient's account number (instead of an email address or mobile number) are available through Heritage Bank & Trust but are a separate service from Zelle® and can take one to three business days to process. You can cancel a payment scheduled in advance if the money has not already been deducted from your account.

Are there any fees to send money using Zelle®?

No, Heritage Bank & Trust does not charge any fees to use Zelle.® Your mobile carrier's messaging and data rates may apply.

Are there any limits for sending and receiving money with Zelle®?

The amount of money you can send, as well as the frequency, is set by each participating financial institution. To determine Heritage Bank & Trust send limits, call our customer service at (931) 388-1970.

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.


I believe I have been a victim of a scam. Whom should I contact?

Please contact our customer support team at 931-388-1970.  Qualifying imposter scams may be eligible for reimbursement.

Does Heritage Bank & Trust or Zelle® offer purchase protection?
