Optional Bill Payment Service

How does Bill Payment work?

FirstBank's Bill Payment Service delivers most payments electronically and without checks and stamps. First, you will create a list of companies or individuals you pay on a regular basis. Then, each time you want to pay a bill, you select the payee from the list you created, select the account to be charged, input the amount you want to pay, and input the date it needs to be sent.

Most payments will be deducted from your checking account on the scheduled date and be sent to the payee either electronically or via corporate check, depending on the payment method accepted by the merchant.

It can take up to five business days for the payment to be received and processed by the payee, so you will want to make sure to schedule it in time to arrive before the due date.

Who can I pay with Online Banking Bill Payment?

We don't know of many people who don't enjoy receiving money, so you can generally pay any individual or business with an address in the United States you would normally pay by mailing a check. You should not use the service to schedule any payments for tax or court-ordered payments. (We will not be responsible for any posting problems associated with these types of payments).

How do I send payments to other financial institutions?

The following information needs to be included for payments to financial institutions:

Payee Name — Account Holder's Name
Address Line 1 — C/O Financial Institution's Name
Address Line 2 — Financial Institution's Address

Does the merchant I'm paying receive my payment electronically?

The payment method will be determined based on the relationship with the merchant and the potential risk associated with the transaction. Some merchants can't receive electronic payments, in that case, the merchant will be sent a check along with the information needed to process the payment. We will let you know how the payment will be processed before you approve the transaction.

How do I access my previous bill payment history?

You can access up to 24 months of paid bill payment history through Bill Pay. Simply select the Activity tab. From this page enter the Date Range to view up to 24 months of paid payments.

What do I put in the “account number” field for a bill payment that I don't have an account number for?

What is an e-bill?

A bill you receive in your inbox instead of your mailbox, although we can't say you'll enjoy getting it any more. You can view and pay these bills at the Payment Center. We have established relationships with hundreds of companies nationwide, and these companies can send us an electronic version of your bill. These electronic bills, which are also called e-bills, typically contain the same information included in the paper bills that are mailed to you. Your biller may offer the following features as part of your electronic billing service:

• Receive your electronic bill through e-mail.
• Pay your electronic bills automatically.
• Allow you to have a different address, known as your service address, where you receive your services.

How do I sign up for an e-bill?

When you start receiving electronic bills, an electronic bill icon appears next to the biller name in the Pay Bills section of the Payment Center. You can also find electronic bill information in the Payment Assistant. You can click the electronic bill icon, or e-bill links in the Actions section of the Payment Assistant, to view and pay your bill. The bill also appears in the Bill Reminders section of the Payment Center as soon as Bill Pay receives it from your biller. The reminders list shows the amount due and due date from your bill.

Why was my bill payment late?

There are many reasons why a bill payment might be late such as incorrect address or account information, holidays, and scheduling time. Please note that payments must be scheduled at least four business days prior to the due date to ensure they are received on time. Monday through Friday are considered business days, with the exception of Federal Holidays. This four-business day window accounts for the time it takes the bill to be sent to and processed by the merchant.

If your bill payment was late, please contact us at 1-800-964-3444 so we can look into your specific case and help you file a dispute if applicable.

How can I protect my company and keep my financial information secure?

Security is critical and FirstBank is committed to safeguarding customer financial information; however, developing a strong partnership with our customer provides an even stronger defense against fraud attempts. Reviewing basic best practices with your employees, and utilizing key Internet Cash Management features and benefits provide you with additional security important in protecting your business and mitigating risk.

• Protect your login information; never share your password and do not write it down. Keep security tokens in a secure location.
• Protect your account information and avoid leaving confidential information in an open and accessible area. Do not leave your computer unattended while you are connected to Internet Cash Management.
• Use caution when responding to emails, phone calls, or texts asking for your confidential login information, and be certain you are working with known and trusted vendors.
• Implement internal controls:
  
  
  • Monitor your accounts and reconcile your balances daily to allow for prompt action to address any transaction questions or issues.

Tap to Pay Cards

What is a Tap to Pay card?

Tap to Pay cards, also referred to as Contactless cards, have an antenna embedded in the plastic, using NFC (Near Field Communication) technology which requires no physical contact be made between the card and payment terminal to complete a payment transaction. Tap to Pay cards leverage the same technology as smartphones and other contactless-enabled devices to complete transactions at enabled terminals.

Are Contactless transactions secure?

Yes. By utilizing radio frequency in the antenna of the card, the cardholder's personal information like name, security code, and billing information such as zip code are not transmitted. Instead, a one-time code is sent from the card to complete the transaction.

How can I tell if my card is Contactless enabled?

What are Contactless payments?

Contactless payments use short-range wireless technology to securely complete payments between a contactless-enabled card and contactless-enabled checkout terminal. A Tap to Pay Visa card is a chip card with an NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna, which enabled close-range payments. When you tap your contactless card at a contactless-enabled checkout terminal (near the Contactless Symbol) a payment is sent for authorization.

Do I have to actually tap my card on a contactless-enabled checkout terminal?

No. You do not have to physically tap your card on the terminal. You should hold your card close (within 1-2 inches) of the Contactless Symbol.

What are the benefits of Contactless payments?

Contactless payments are easy. You simply tap your contactless-enabled card at contactless-enabled checkout terminals. They are also fast and convenient to use in places that you need to pay on the go. Just like transactions made with a chip card, each contactless card transaction is accompanied by a one-time code that protects your payment information, so contactless payments are also secure.

Where can I use my Tap to Pay card? What if I don't see the Contactless Symbol?

You can Tap to Pay wherever you see the Contactless Symbol at checkout terminals. If you don't see the Contactless Symbol you can insert your card to complete a chip transaction, or with the magnetic stripe by swiping your card.

Can I use my Tap to Pay card outside of the U.S.?

Yes. You can use your Tap to Pay card where Visa is accepted by tapping it at contactless-enabled checkout terminals, inserting your card to complete a chip transaction, or swiping it using the magnetic stripe. Many countries have already adopted contactless payments.

Are Tap to Pay cards safe?

Yes. Tap to Pay cards are safe for a number of reasons:

• Each transaction is accompanied by a one-time code that securely protects your payment information, just like a chip card.
• You can't pay accidentally. Your card must be within 1-2 inches of a contactless-enabled checkout terminal for a transaction to occur. You won't be billed twice, even if you accidentally tap twice.

Digital Wallet

What is a Digital (Mobile) Wallet?

Digital wallets are virtual representations of your debit or credit card stored in an app on your mobile device. We offer a variety of digital payment options that are secure and simple to use:

• Apple Pay^® - compatible with Apple devices
• Google Pay^™ - compatible with Android and Samsung devices
• Samsung Pay^® - compatible with Samsung and Android devices

What is a Digital Account Number (token)?

A digital account number (also called a token) is a unique card number different from your physical card. This means that your information isn't shared with the merchant, so your details stay safe.

Is there a fee to add my card to a digital wallet?

FirstBank does not charge a fee to add or use your card in a digital wallet. Based on your wireless plan and mobile carrier's offering, message and data charges may apply.

Can I use my digital wallet outside the U.S.?

As long as you're shopping at a participating merchant, digital payments will work outside the U.S. Based on your wireless plan and mobile carrier's offering, message data charges and foreign transaction fees may apply.

How does my card work when added to a digital wallet?

When you add your FirstBank card to a digital wallet, the number on your physical card is assigned a secure digital account number that is used when you make a purchase.

Are digital payments secure?

Yes. Instead of using your actual debit or credit card number when you add a card to the wallet, a unique digital account number is assigned. When you make a purchase, the digital account number is used to process your payment, so your physical card number is never shared with the merchant.

The merchant/cashier is asking for the last 4 digits of my card, what do I give them?

If you are asked to provide the last 4 digits of your card when making a digital wallet payment, you should provide the merchant with the last 4 digits of the digital account number. You can locate the last 4 digits in the mobile wallet app.

How do I make returns for purchases I've made using my digital wallet?

You can make a return the same way you would with your physical card today by contacting the merchant directly. We do recommend you have the device that you used to make the purchase available.

What happens when I replace or update my device?

If you replace or update your device, deactivating your old device will delete the digital account number associated with the old device. You will then need to register your cards to your new device. You may be prompted to select a delivery method to receive a One Time Passcode, such as text, email, or call in. The One Time Passcode will be delivered to the destination selected. Enter the code and select "Submit."

Why does the card on my device look different than the card in my physical wallet?

FirstBank card art does not translate from your physical card to your digital card. The digital card artwork was specifically designed for your digital wallet.

What if my device is lost or stolen?

If your phone/device is lost or stolen, you can suspend your digital wallet using your device locator:

• Apple Pay - Find My iPhone
• Google Pay - Find My Device
• Samsung Pay - Find My Mobile

You can also call FirstBank and we can assist in suspending your cards in the wallet, allowing you to continue using your physical card. If you find your phone/device you can un-suspend your wallet following the prompts on your phone.

Activating Your Card

Once a card has been added to a digital wallet, a digital account number (token) will be provisioned to the device. The token will either be activated automatically, or require manual activation.

You may be prompted to select a delivery method to receive a One Time Passcode, such as text, email, or call in. The One Time Passcode will be delivered via the method selected. Enter the code to complete activation of your card.

To learn more about how to add your card to the Digital Wallet, please follow the instructions for your specific provider:

• Apple Pay Instructions
• Google Pay Instructions
• Samsung Pay Instructions

Sending Wire Transfers

To send a wire, you need to have the following information.

• The receiving bank's ABA number (routing number) and name of the bank.
• Beneficiary (person to whom the wire is being sent).
• Account number of beneficiary.
• City and state of the receiving bank.
• Valid form of identification

Sometimes the receiving bank requires additional information. Please contact the receiving bank to obtain their “wiring instructions.”

Wires are a safe, efficient, and fast way to send money. However, wire fraud is a real threat. Financial criminals are using compromised email accounts, fake websites, and changing phone numbers as a way to misdirect valid payments into their hands. Before sending a wire transfer make sure you confirm the wire instructions directly with the person or organization that's receiving the funds through a secure method.

Wires may be initiated over the phone by signing a Wire Transfer Agreement at any branch location. Completing this agreement is required for personal and business customers who frequently request wire transactions or are unable to visit any FirstBank location. FirstBank offers the ability to choose up to four verification methods in order to ensure the security of these funds.

The fees for sending a wire are $30 for a domestic wire and $45 for a foreign wire. The fees for sending a telephone wire are $50 for a domestic wire and $65 for a foreign wire. To initiate a wire by telephone, please contact us at 303-231-2005 or 1-800-467-7640 outside the Denver Metropolitan area. We will send wires Monday – Friday from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm (MST/MDT). If we receive a request to send a wire after 2:30 pm, it will be sent the next business day. Wire requests for the following business day may be taken until 5:00 pm (MST/MDT). Same-Day Federal Tax Deposit wires can be initiated for commercial customers only; these wires are $45 and must be completed at a branch location by 12:00 pm (MST/MDT).

Receiving Wire Transfers

To receive a wire at FirstBank, the following information should be given to the party that is originating the wire.

• FirstBank's routing number: 107005047.
• FirstBank's address:
  10403 West Colfax Avenue
  Lakewood, CO 80215
• Your name and your 10-digit account number.
• Any specific instructions for the money.

The fee for an incoming wire is $10 for FirstBank customers; FirstBank does not accept wire transfers for non-customers. We cannot anticipate exact arrival times nor can we guarantee that wires will be received on the same day they are sent. The wire may need to be sent through an additional bank and thus be delayed or subject to additional fees, the information received may not be complete enough for the wire to be processed. If it is a foreign wire, it may take a few days to a few weeks to receive the wire.

When will I receive my first statement after I have closed my mortgage or loan?

Mortgage

You will receive your first statement in the next billing cycle after the closing date of your mortgage. For example, if you closed your loan on February 21st, you would receive your first statement in mid-March.

Loans

You will receive your first statement the month following the due date that you established upon closing your loan. If you have set your first due date as 1/10/14, the first statement will be created 1/21/14.

When will I receive my last statement after I have made my final payment?

Mortgage

You will receive one final mortgage statement after you have paid off your loan. This will include any escrow information. Keep in mind escrows take approximately two weeks to process. Depending on when your loan was paid off, they may not have been processed when your final statement was sent to you.

Loans

You will receive one final statement on the same cycle that you have received all prior loan statements. This statement should show a zero balance owing.

Can I use the Paid Year to Date amount for tax purposes?

No, the Paid Year to Date amount on mortgage statements is from December 17th of the previous year to the current date. For either loan or mortgage statements, you should always use the interest amount on your 1098 for tax purposes.

Where can I find my 1098 tax form?

The 1098 tax form can be found on the loan details page in Online Banking, above the posted transactions.

When I pay any outstanding fees, how are they applied to my Mortgage or Loan?

When you pay any outstanding fees on your mortgage or loan, your payment will be applied to your oldest fees first. For mortgages, when you add additional funds to your payment for fees, you will need to indicate how those funds should be allocated on the bottom of your coupon.

On my mortgage statement, I am receiving a coupon, but am set up for Automatic Payments, why is this?

Every mortgage statement includes a coupon on the bottom of the first page. If you have automatic payments, you can disregard this coupon unless you would like to make additional principal, escrow or fee payments.

I received a Delinquency Notice. What does this mean and how do I read it?

If you have received a Delinquency Notice, it means that your loan or mortgage is at least 45 days past due. The notice describes your outstanding payment, any outstanding fees or charges, and what you need to pay to bring your loan current. If you have any questions about this notice, please do not hesitate to contact your Branch Officer or the Customer Service department at 1-800-964-3444.

What is included in the Delinquency Notice?

• Date on which the mortgage or loan became delinquent and the number of days delinquent on the mortgage or loan.
• Mortgage or loan history for the previous six months or the period since the last time the mortgage or loan was current, whichever is shorter.
• Amount remaining past due from each billing cycle or, if any such payment was fully paid, the date on which it was credited as fully paid.
• Total payment amount needed to bring the mortgage or loan current (This amount will match the amount due and the total amount due on the statement).
• Notification of possible risks, such as foreclosure and expenses, that may be incurred if the delinquency is not cured.
• A reference to Housing Counselor information.

What is the difference between my current and available balance?

Your current balance is the balance in your account as of close of business the previous business day. Your available balance is the current balance, minus or plus, any electronic transactions that may occur that day or in the near future. Therefore, the two amounts may be different from day to day.

Electronic transactions include ATM deposits and withdrawals, Visa Debit Card transactions, wires, direct deposits, or automatic withdrawals you have set up. When an electronic transaction is initiated, it will typically show as "Pending" on your account.

As stated previously, pending electronic transactions are reflected in your available balance (the amount available for withdrawal) immediately. When nightly processing is completed, electronic transactions are processed, and posted to your current balance. There are some exceptions such as Visa Debit Card authorizations and ATM transactions made after the cut-off time, which can remain as "Pending" for up to three to five business days before posting to the current balance on your account.

It is FirstBank's policy to process all credits (deposits), electronic or manual, to your account before any debits (checks, Visa transactions, and withdrawals) are deducted.

What is the difference between my available and projected balance?

Your available balance is the current balance, minus or plus, any electronic transactions, cash deposits or a portion of paper deposits that may occur that day or in the near future. Your projected balance is your current balance, minus or plus, any transactions that will occur that day. The projected balance is an estimate of what your account balance may be once nightly processing is completed, using the information available at that time.

Transactions that will occur today include the full amount of any pending deposit or pending debits, which may include electronic, paper or cash deposits or paper or electronic debits from your account. Any balance available on an overdraft line of credit will not be reflected in the projected balance.

Pending paper items may include any transactions conducted over the bank teller line, or checks written off of your account that have been negotiated at another financial institution that will be deducted from your account balance after nightly processing is completed. You will receive full same-day credit on any cash deposits made over the bank teller line, and up to $500 per account per day on any other paper deposits such as ATM deposits or a deposit made over the bank teller line.

As stated previously, electronic transactions include ATM deposits and withdrawals, Visa Debit Card transactions, wires, direct deposits or automatic withdrawals you have set up.

When do transactions post to my account?

Any transactions you perform, such as deposits or withdrawals, are processed at the end of each business day, and will be reflected in the current balance on your account around 7:00 a.m. the following morning. Monday through Friday are considered business days, with the exception of Federal Holidays.

For example, if you make a manual deposit with a teller Monday, we will process the deposit at close of business Monday night. The deposit will be reflected in your current balance around 7:00 a.m. Tuesday morning and will be available for withdrawal. If you make a manual deposit on Saturday, which is not a business day, we will process the deposit with Monday's business as described above.

Any transactions you do at a branch location, such as the deposit with the teller in the above example, are considered "manual transactions." Manual transactions include any checks you have written, or deposits or withdrawals made through a bank employee. These transactions can take between 2 to 4 hours to post to your account. You will not see these reflected on your account until nightly processing has finished and they are posted to your current balance the following morning. You may be able to see electronic transactions reflected on your account sooner than manual transactions. Electronic transactions include ATM deposits and withdrawals, Visa Debit Card transactions, wires, direct deposits, or automatic withdrawals you have set up. When an electronic transaction is initiated, it will typically show as “Pending” on your account.

Pending electronic transactions are reflected in your available balance (the amount available for withdrawal) immediately. When nightly processing is completed, electronic transactions are processed, and posted to your current balance. There are some exceptions such as Visa Debit Card authorizations and ATM transactions made after the cut-off time, which can remain as "Pending" for up to three to five business days before posting to the current balance on your account.

How do I change my PIN?

You may change your PIN at your convenience at any time. Simply give us a call at 1-800-964-3444 and we can assist you in selecting a new PIN. You can also change your PIN at any of our ATMs.

If you do not know your PIN, please contact us at 1-800-964-3444 and we can assist you in selecting a new PIN.

My card was lost or stolen.

You can cancel your card on the Card Management section in Online Banking. You can also call us at 1-800-964-3444 and we will cancel your card and send you a new one.

I have a question regarding a charge on my account?

For your security, please login to Online Banking and use the secure Bank Mail provided in the Customer Service section, or call us immediately if you suspect fraudulent activity.

Why do I have multiple pending Visa transactions for the same merchant?

When merchants accept a Visa Debit Card, they begin by obtaining an authorization, or a verification of adequate funds in the account, to approve the purchase. This authorization is shown as a “VISA AUTHORIZATION” on the pending screen, and it deducts the amount from your available balance. When a merchant closes a batch (compilation of authorizations), the authorization is processed and posts to your account, shown as a “VISA” transaction on your statement. In some circumstances, a merchant may get multiple authorizations for the same purchase. For example, a restaurant may submit one authorization for the actual amount of the bill and an additional one after you have included the tip.

After the transaction posts to your account, the authorization(s) should be removed. However, there are situations where the authorization may remain on your account for three to five business days after the transaction has posted. In the event a Visa transaction actually posts to your account twice, please contact us at 1-800-964-3444 to file a dispute.

Why is my Visa transaction for a different amount than what I authorized?

When merchants accept a Visa Debit Card, they begin by obtaining an authorization, or a verification of adequate funds in the account, to approve the purchase. This authorization is shown as a “VISA AUTHORIZATION” on the pending screen, and it deducts the amount from your available balance. When a merchant closes a batch (compilation of authorizations), the authorization is processed and posts to your account, shown as a “VISA” transaction on your statement.

Often, certain types of merchants authorize a different amount than what will actually post to your account. For example, many gas stations only authorize $1.00 in "pay at the pump" transactions, and the actual amount posts to your account when the authorization is processed.

How do I stop an electronic (EFT or ACH) payment?

To permanently cancel an EFT payment, you must contact the merchant directly. If the merchant continues to withdraw the funds from your account, please contact us to place a stop payment on the transaction.

Payments with Zelle®

What is Zelle®?

With Zelle®, you can send and request money easily and securely to your friends and family using only their email address, U.S. mobile phone number, or QR code. Zelle® is fast, secure, convenient and available through Online Banking or the FirstBank Mobile App.

Who can I send money to?

Recipients will need to have a bank account in the U.S. If their bank does not offer Zelle®, they will need to have a debit card that is attached to their account, which can be enrolled in the Zelle® app to send or receive money. Zelle® should only be used to send money to friends, family or others you trust.

Who can I request money from?

You can request money from almost anyone who has a bank account in the U.S. However, requests can only be sent to a U.S. mobile phone number already enrolled with Zelle®. Requests may be sent to any email address even if it is not enrolled yet.

Will my recipients see my bank information?

Your bank account information is confidential and will never be shared with your recipients. The only information your recipients will see is your name and your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, depending on which one you used to send the payment or request.

What is the security code used for?

This is a security feature used to verify that the email address or U.S. mobile phone number you enroll is yours. Messages are sent via your enrollment method, so by verifying your access to this method while enrolling, you are confirming that you will receive notifications for sending and receiving payments or requests.

What information do I need to send a payment or request?

All you need is your recipient's name and email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

Why am I getting prompted on my phone to approve Zelle® payments?

This is a security enhancement designed to help protect your accounts against unauthorized transactions. This feature enables us to send real-time verification requests directly to your mobile device, allowing you to promptly confirm or decline a Zelle® payment.

No, real-time verification requests target transactions that may be considered high-risk or unusual for you based on your account activity.

Note: Requests cannot be sent to a U.S. mobile phone number that is not already enrolled. You can either ask your recipient to enroll it prior to sending a request to it, or you can send it to an email.

When will my payment or request be received?

Transactions typically occur in minutes when the recipient's email address or U.S. mobile number is already enrolled with Zelle®. Recipients will be notified when you send or request money.

What are the limits?

We have set the daily send limit of new customers to $500.00. As you continue to use Zelle® at FirstBank we will increase your limits to:

This limit may vary per customer or case.

How will my recipients receive payments and requests?

Your recipients will receive either an email or text message notifying them of your payment or request. If they have never received a Zelle® payment or request before, information on how to enroll at their financial institution or in the Zelle® app will be included with the notification. Once enrolled, the money will be sent directly to their account and typically available within minutes after enrolling, or they can respond to the payment request through their Zelle® experience.

How do I receive money with Zelle®?

When you enroll with Zelle®, the email addresses and/or U.S. mobile phone numbers are tied directly to your FirstBank Checking or Savings account of your choice. You can enroll up to two email addresses and up to two mobile phone numbers for a total of four Zelle® profiles. When other Zelle® users would like to send you money, all they need is your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile phone number. If you are already enrolled, the money will be sent to your selected Primary Account. You will receive a notification via your enrollment method anytime someone sends you money.

How do I receive requests for money from others?

Once you have enrolled with Zelle®, you will receive notifications about incoming requests for money via the email or U.S. mobile phone number you have enrolled. You can then view and respond to these requests under the Zelle® Activity section of Online Banking or the Mobile App.

When is money debited from my account?

As soon as you submit a payment, the money will be removed from your available balance.

What happens if my recipient never enrolls with Zelle® to receive my payment?

Your unenrolled recipients have 14 days to enroll to receive their first Zelle® payment. If they do not enroll, the payment will be cancelled and the money will be credited back to your account.

How can I change my enrollment method?

Note: To change a recipient's email address or U.S. mobile phone number, you will need to delete the recipient then add them again with the new email or U.S. mobile phone number. You can delete them by using the trash can icon next to the recipient in Online Banking, or by choosing the "Delete" button after selecting a recipient. You can then add them again by using the "Add New Recipient" button of your recipient list, or you can add them again while setting up a payment or request.

Can I edit or delete a payment or request?

You can only cancel a payment if the person you sent money to hasn't yet enrolled with Zelle®. A request for money will remain active for up to 14 calendar days before expiring. Active requests can be deleted from the Zelle® activity page any time before the request is fulfilled, modified, denied, or expired, but cannot be edited once it has been submitted.

What happens when I delete a recipient?

Your recipient will be removed from your Zelle® recipient list. All payments that are in progress to this recipient will still process. Any scheduled, recurring, or pending acceptance payments to this recipient that have not begun processing will be cancelled.

What does the activity section show?

For both Online Banking and the Mobile App, the activity section of Zelle® will display all incoming and outgoing payments and requests (except cancelled outgoing requests) for all of your Zelle® profiles. Active incoming requests will be at the top of the activity section of Zelle®. You will have the option to send the requested amount, modify the requested amount, or decline the request. Any action taken on these will notify the person who has sent the request. Recurring and future dated Zelle® payments are also found here. Any of these can be deleted before the date it is scheduled to occur. As you generate Zelle® transactions they will be listed in the History section.

What types of accounts can send and receive payments?

At FirstBank, most Consumer and Business Checking and Savings accounts are eligible for sending and receiving money with Zelle®.

What is my Primary Account?

Incoming payments will credit the Primary Account you have selected for that Zelle® profile. This is also your default account for sending and requesting money, but it can be change to another eligible account.

Can I change my primary account?

Yes, you can always change your Primary Account.

Within Online Banking, select "Send Money with Zelle®" from the navigation bar under Transfers & Bill Pay. Select the "Edit" option next to the profile you would like to change the account for. Choose the account you would like from the drop down menu and save the changes.

From the Mobile App, select "Zelle®" from the navigation bar at the bottom. Tap "Preferences" (gear icon) and tap "My Zelle® Profiles". Select the profile you would like to change the account for, then tap the Primary Account option and select the account you would like from the drop down menu and save the changes.

Can I change my primary Zelle® profile?

Yes, you can always change your Primary Profile.

Within Online Banking, select "Send Money with Zelle®" from the navigation bar under Transfers & Bill Pay. Select the Profiles tab and select the profile you would like to make the primary, then click the "Set as Primary Profile" button at the bottom to set the current profile as the primary.

Note: There are indicators on the My Zelle® Profiles list that identify which profile is designated as the primary. If you only have one profile, that will be the primary by default. If you choose the profile that is already the primary, you will not have the option to set it as the primary.

I am trying to enroll my email address or U.S. mobile phone number and I am receiving a message that it is already enrolled. Why?

Your email address or U.S. mobile phone number may already be enrolled with Zelle® at another bank or credit union. Since your email address or U.S. mobile number is a unique identifier that directs your payments, you need a different email address / U.S. mobile number for each account you enroll with Zelle®. You can log into the FirstBank Mobile App to transfer the email address or U.S. mobile number yourself or call a FirstBank Customer Service Representative at 1-800-964-3444 for assistance. Once you or a FirstBank Customer Service Representative have moved your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, it will be connected to your account at FirstBank so you can start sending and receiving money with Zelle®.

What if I send a payment but it is not received by my recipient?

If you send money to someone who isn't enrolled with Zelle®, they will receive a notification prompting them to enroll. After enrollment, the money will be sent directly to your recipient's account, typically within minutes.

If your payment is pending, we recommend confirming that the person you sent money to has enrolled with Zelle® and that you entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

Can I pay a business with Zelle®?

Some eligible small businesses are able to receive payments with Zelle®. Ask your favorite small business if they accept payments with Zelle®. If they do, you can pay them directly from your FirstBank's Mobile App or Online Banking using just their email address, U.S. mobile number, or QR code.

Neither FirstBank nor Zelle® offer a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle®, so you should only send money to people (and small businesses) you trust. Also, make sure you have received any goods or services you might be paying for prior to sending any money with Zelle®, and always ensure you've used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number.

Zelle® QR Codes

What is a Zelle®QR code?

A Zelle® QR code is a visual representation of your Zelle® Profile. This image can be printed, shared, or saved and given to others for them to scan to send money to your profile that is associated with the QR code.

Zelle® QR codes are a quick, easy, and convenient way to receive money using Zelle®. They also ensure you are sending money to the right person, without the possibility of mistyping an email address or mobile phone number.

Where do I find my QR codes?

You can locate your QR codes through our website and Mobile Application on the Zelle® Home Screen, Zelle® Preferences page, and the My Zelle® Profiles page.

How do I print, share and save my QR code?

While viewing the larger version of your QR code, there is an option to Share/Print through the Mobile App and Download/Print on desktop. Selecting these options will open the image in the native program for your device, much like our eStatements. Generally, the native program on your device will have options to print, share, and save.

How do I send money using a QR code?

On the FirstBank Mobile Application, you have the option to scan a Zelle® QR code with your device camera to send money to the associated Zelle® Profile. You can access the option to scan from the Zelle® Home Screen, Select Recipient page, and My Zelle® Profiles.

How do I scan a code?

Within FirstBank's Mobile Application, access the scan ability from the Zelle® Home Screen, Select Recipient page, or the My Zelle® Profiles page.

1. Align the recipient's code on your screen to scan the code
2. Confirm the recipient/business name is correct
3. Enter the dollar amount you would like to send
4. If needed, adjust the frequency and/or add a memo
5. Review the payment before submitting it
6. After you have confirmed the payment has been sent, there will be an option to save the recipient.

Get Paid with Zelle®

How do I tell my customers that they can pay me with Zelle®?

Here are a few ways you can encourage your customers to pay you with Zelle®.

• Tell customers verbally that you accept payments with Zelle®, and that they can easily send you money right from their banking app
• Print it on an invoice. We recommend adding "I accept payments with Zelle®" and include a QR code for customers to scan.
• Use Zelle® to request money from your customers (which will send them a notification telling them you've requested payment with Zelle®)

Note: You will only be able to receive payments from consumers using Zelle® through their financial institution's online or mobile banking experience. You will not be able to receive payments from consumers enrolled in the Zelle® app.

How do I use Zelle® to request a payment from my customer?

To request money with Zelle®, select "Send Money with Zelle®" in Online Banking or the Zelle® tab in the app, choose "Request", select the individual from whom you'd like to request money, enter the amount you'd like to request, include an optional memo, review and hit "Request".

Does Zelle® or FirstBank offer purchase protection?

Neither FirstBank nor Zelle® offer 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.

Are there any fees to use Zelle® with an eligible business account at FirstBank?

No, FirstBank does not charge a fee to use Zelle® with an eligible business account.

I want to use Zelle® to send and receive money with friends from my personal bank account, as well as to receive payments for my business from my business account. Are there any differences in the experience?

Whether you use Zelle® with a business account or a consumer account, Zelle® uses the same extensive network to initiate payments to eligible businesses and consumers. Consumers that are already enrolled with Zelle® through their mobile banking app don't need to do anything different to send money to an eligible business — they use the existing Zelle® experience they already know and trust within their bank's mobile app. However, the experience is slightly different for eligible businesses, as businesses cannot currently send payments to or receive payments from consumers that are only enrolled in the Zelle® app.

If I already use Zelle® for my business, do I need to do something different to continue using Zelle®?

There is nothing different you need to do. However, one change to be aware of is that in order to send money to or receive money from an eligible business, a consumer must be enrolled with Zelle® directly through their financial institution. Businesses are not able to enroll in the Zelle® app and cannot receive payments from consumers enrolled in the Zelle® app.

If I use Zelle® for my business, will Zelle® integrate with accounting software?

No, Zelle® does not integrate directly with accounting software at this time. However, since Zelle® is connected to your FirstBank account, you are able to see all Zelle® transactions in your Online Banking transaction records. If your bank account transactions feed into accounting software, you will see the Zelle® transactions.

How do I know if my business is eligible to use Zelle®?

Most Business Checking and Savings accounts are eligible for sending and receiving payments.

Who should I call if I have questions or need help?

If you have questions please call a FirstBank Customer Service Representative at 1-800-964-3444.

Can I cancel a payment if I sent money using Zelle®?

You can only cancel a payment if the email or U.S. mobile phone number you sent money to hasn't been enrolled with Zelle® yet. The Activity page will give you the option to cancel the payment if it is still Pending Acceptance.

If you send money to a business or consumer that has already enrolled with Zelle®, 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 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, we recommend contacting the recipient and requesting the money back. If you aren't able to get your money back, please call us at 1-800-964-3444.

Is there a limit to how much money I can send with Zelle®?

We have set the daily send limit of new customers to $500.00. As you continue to Zelle® at FirstBank we will increase your limits to:

• Daily: $2,500.00
• Weekly: $5,000.00
• Monthly: $10,000.00

FirstBank establishes these limits and they may vary per business or case.

Please contact an Online Banking Representative at 1-800-964-3444 option 3 for further information.

Is there a limit on the number of transactions I can send and receive with Zelle® each month?

No, there is no set limit to the number of Zelle® transactions.

Are Zelle® transactions subject to tax reporting?

No. According to Zelle®, it does not report any transactions made on the Zelle Network® to the IRS. The law requiring certain digital payment apps to provide 1099K forms for tax reporting does not apply to the Zelle Network®. However, other digital payment apps might be required to provide businesses with commercial transactions totaling at least $600 a 1099K form. For more information, visit the Zelle® Frequently Asked Questions Page. These FAQs are for informational purposes only and do not constitute tax advice. Please consult a legal or tax professional for advice on your specific situation.

Smart Choice College Savings Plan

What is a 529 savings plan?

529 plans are state-sponsored college savings plans established by the federal government in Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Service Code. 529 plans offer attractive tax benefits that help families save for college.

What are the benefits of a Smart Choice College Savings Plan?

If you are a Colorado resident, contributions made into your account can be deducted from your Colorado State taxable income, with a cap based on filing status.

For income tax years on or after January 1, 2023, the cap will be annually adjusted by the percentage change in the combined average annual costs of tuition and room and board for all state institutions of higher education.

Regardless of what you deduct, your account will grow federal and Colorado State tax-free for the duration of your investment. If you use your account for qualified expenses, earnings are also exempt from federal and Colorado State taxes. Residents of other states may still be eligible for certain tax benefits. Please consult your tax advisor for specific information regarding tax benefits.

Can there be more than one account for the same beneficiary?

Yes. However, the aggregate balance of all accounts for a single beneficiary may not exceed $500,000.

Is the beneficiary required to attend a Colorado college?

No. You may use your funds at eligible public and private colleges, universities, trade and vocational schools across the country.

What if the beneficiary doesn't go to college?

If the beneficiary decides not to attend college, you can name another beneficiary (certain restrictions apply; please see the Plan Disclosure Statement for complete information), or you can choose to leave the funds in the account for a time when he or she might decide to attend college. If you need your savings for another purpose, you can withdraw the funds; however, there are tax consequences for non-qualified withdrawals. Please consult your tax advisor for specific information regarding tax benefits.

What higher education expenses are covered by the plan?

You can use your savings to pay for qualified expenses such as tuition, fees, certain room and board, required books and supplies, and certain computer equipment. Other withdrawals may be subject to federal and state taxes, as well as penalties. Please consult your tax advisor for specific information regarding tax benefits.

How do I perform a Rollover?

Please include a completed Rollover Certification Form when you make your deposit. Please note, there is a limit of one rollover per calendar year.

Overdrafts & Overdraft Fees

How do overdrafts occur?

An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we pay it anyway.

How can I protect myself from overdrafts?

The bank offers a type of transaction account that does not allow overdrafts and therefore, no overdraft fees are assessed. If your account type allows overdrafts, the bank can cover your overdrafts in two different ways:

• We have standard overdraft practices that come with most transaction accounts.
• We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a cash reserve line of credit or a link to a savings account, which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices.
• For more information, or to apply for a cash reserve line of credit or to link accounts, please visit any FirstBank branch or call us at 1-800-964-3444.

What are the standard overdraft practices that come with the accounts that have overdraft options?

We do not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to:

• ATM transactions
• Everyday debit card transactions
• Checks and other transactions made using your checking account number
• Online bill payments
• Recurring debit card transactions

If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be returned or declined and no fee will be assessed.

What fees will I be charged if FirstBank pays or returns my overdraft?

• You will be charged a Non-Sufficient Funds Paid Item Fee of $30.00 each time we pay an overdraft if you have opted in to overdrafts on your account(s).
• You will not be charged a fee for items that are returned unpaid or for declined transactions.
• The maximum number of Non-Sufficient Funds Paid Item Fees we can charge you for overdrawing your account is 3 per day.
• You will not be charged a Non-Sufficient Funds Paid Item Fee if your account had sufficient funds at the time the transaction was authorized.
• You will not be charged a Non-Sufficient Funds Paid Item Fee for items $15.00 and less.
• There is no limit on the total fees we can charge you for overdrawing your account.

What if I want FirstBank to authorize and pay overdrafts on my ATM and everyday debit card transactions and/or on my checks, ACH, online bill payments, and recurring debit card transactions?

If your account allows overdrafts and you want the bank to authorize and pay overdrafts on ATM and everyday debit card transactions and/or on your checks, ACH, online bill payments, and recurring debit card transactions, please log into your Online Banking profile, visit any FirstBank branch, or call us at 1-800-964-3444.
