Is my information secure?

Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority for First Savings Bank of Hegewisch. 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.1

Since money is sent directly from your 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 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).

What if I want to send money to someone whose bank or credit union 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?

In order to use Zelle®, the sender and recipient's bank or credit union 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, you can 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 773-646-4200 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 immediately call our customer support team at 773-646-4200 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 if you like, or even set up recurring payments for things like regularly sending money to your college student.

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

Are there any fees to send money using Zelle®?

No, First Savings Bank of Hegewisch 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 First Savings Bank of Hegewisch send limits, call our customer service at 773-646-4200.

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.

How do I use a Zelle® QR code?

To locate your Zelle® QR code, log into the FI App Name, click �Send Money with Zelle®�. Next, go to your �Zelle® settings� and click �Zelle® QR code� and your QR code will be displayed under �My Code�.
