Send Money with Zelle® Terms of Use 

The following are the Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) for the Send Money with Zelle® Service at Laurel Road, a brand of KeyBank National Association, and KeyBank National Association (“Service”). These Terms of Use supplement, modify, and incorporate by reference your deposit account agreements with Laurel Road, including our Deposit Account Agreement and Funds Availability Policy, and Online Banking Service Agreement and Disclosures (collectively, the ‘Deposit Agreements’) as well as the Rules and Regulations for the Laurel Road World Wide Website (the “User Agreement”). If there is any conflict between any term of any Deposit Agreement or the User Agreement posted on Laurel Road’s website, www.laurelroad.com (the “Website”) and these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use shall control. Certain defined terms used herein are defined in other agreements referenced herein. You may have additional rights and duties under our Disclosure Statement and Terms and Conditions for Electronic Fund Transfer Transactions (“EFT Disclosure Statement”), delivered to you when you opened your deposit account at Laurel Road.

1. General Terms Applicable to the Service

We have partnered with the Zelle Network (“Zelle“) to enable a convenient way to transfer money between you and others who are enrolled directly with Zelle® or enrolled with another financial institution that partners with Zelle (each, a “User”) using aliases, such as email addresses or mobile phone numbers. We will refer to financial institutions that have partnered with Zelle as “Network Banks.”

Zelle provides no deposit account or other financial services. Zelle neither transfers nor moves money. You may not establish a financial account with Zelle of any kind. All money will be transmitted by a Network Bank.

THE SERVICE IS INTENDED TO SEND MONEY TO FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND OTHERS YOU TRUST. YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE SERVICE TO SEND MONEY TO RECIPIENTS WITH WHOM YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR OR DO NOT TRUST.

2. Eligibility and User Profile

(a) The Service is available to our customers with an eligible deposit Account currently enrolled in Online Banking. Savings Accounts are not an eligible deposit Account and cannot be used in connection with the Service. Account eligibility rules may differ if you are enrolling in Zelle through another Network Bank or on Zelle’s separate transfer service website or mobile app. In order to receive funds transfers into your Account, that Account must be open and in good standing. In order to transfer funds out of your Account to another individual or business, you must have an available balance in that Account. We reserve the right to deny your request to enroll in the Service for any reason not prohibited by applicable law.

(b) When you enroll to use the Service or when you permit others to whom you have delegated to act on your behalf to use or access the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. You represent that you are a U.S. resident (not including the U.S. territories) at least eighteen (18) years of age and you have the authority to authorize debits and credits to the registered bank account (“Account”). You agree that you will not use the Service to request, send or receive money from anyone to whom you are obligated for tax payments, payments made pursuant to court orders (including court-ordered amounts for alimony or child support), fines, payments to loan sharks, gambling debts, or payments otherwise prohibited by law, and you agree that you will not use the Service to request money from anyone for any such payments. You agree that you will not authorize a third party to use the Service or share your credentials with a third party to use the Service on your behalf except in legally authorized situations such as legal guardianship or pursuant to a power of attorney. You further agree that you will not use the Service for International ACH Transactions, which are prohibited under these Terms of Use.

(c) The Service is intended for personal, not business or commercial use. You agree that you will not use the Service to send or receive payments in connection with your business or commercial enterprise. We reserve the right to decline your registration if we believe that you are registering to use the Service for business or commercial purposes, or for any unlawful purpose. We further reserve the right to suspend or terminate your use of the Service if we believe that you are using the Service for business or commercial purposes, or for any unlawful purpose.

(d) The Service may include functionality for uploading photos and other materials or information (“Content”) as part of your User profile, or otherwise. By enrolling to use the Service you grant Zelle and us, along with our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, and successors a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully- paid, transferable, irrevocable, perpetual, and sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display your Content throughout the world in any media for any reason, including to provide, promote, and/or incorporate into the Service. You retain all rights in your Content, subject to the rights you grant to us and Zelle in these Terms of Use. You may modify or remove your Content, but your Content may persist in historical, archived or cached copies and versions thereof available on or through the Service.

(e) Content Standards: You agree that you will not upload or provide Content or otherwise post, transmit, distribute, or disseminate through the Service any material that: (i) is false, misleading, unlawful, obscene, indecent, lewd, pornographic, defamatory, libelous, threatening, harassing, hateful, abusive, or inflammatory; (ii) encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense or gives rise to civil liability; (iii) breaches or infringes any duty toward or rights of any person or entity, including rights of publicity, privacy or intellectual property; (iv) contains corrupted data or any other harmful, disruptive, or destructive files; (v) advertises products or services competitive with Zelle, as determined by Zelle in its sole discretion; or (vi) in Zelle’s or our sole judgment, is objectionable, restricts or inhibits any person or entity from using or enjoying any portion of the Service, or which may expose us, Zelle or our respective affiliates or customers to harm or liability of any nature.

(f) Although neither we nor Zelle have any obligation to monitor any Content, both we and Zelle have absolute discretion to remove Content at any time and for any reason without notice. We and Zelle may also monitor such Content to detect and prevent fraudulent activity or violations of the terms and conditions. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent, or objectionable. We and Zelle are not responsible for, and assume no liability, for any Content, including any loss or damage to any of your Content. We and Zelle make no representation or warranty that Content uploaded to a User profile accurately identifies a particular User of the Service.

(g) If you believe that Content hosted by, posted on, or accessible through the Service uses your name, voice, signature, image or likeness, or that of your minor child, without your permission and in violation of a legally recognized right of publicity, we encourage you first to contact the user directly about your concerns. If that does not resolve your concerns, you may contact us by calling us at 833-427-2265 or dial 711 for TTY/TRS, or writing to us at Online Banking Customer Service at 3290 Main St., Amherst, NY 14226, MAILCODE: NY-00-01-0275.

The Service may include functionality for you to add a unique alpha-numeric identifier to your registered User profile to be used in lieu of your phone number or email address when sending or receiving money, which will be your “Zelle tag.” You will be limited to one Zelle tag per bank account, and each Zelle tag must have one U.S. mobile phone number or email address associated with it. Your Zelle tag must meet the Content Standards. You may not select a Zelle tag that misleads or deceives other Users of the Service as to your identity, or otherwise. Although neither we nor Zelle have any obligation to monitor User Zelle tags, both we and Zelle have absolute discretion to remove a User Zelle tag at any time and for any reason without notice. We and Zelle may require you to change your Zelle tag in our sole discretion, and we may elect to make a Zelle tag unavailable to you, without any liability to you. We and Zelle may also monitor User Zelle tags to detect and prevent fraudulent activity or violations of the terms and conditions. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to a Zelle tag that is offensive, indecent, or objectionable. We and Zelle are not responsible for, and assume no liability, for any User Zelle tags, including any loss or damage caused thereby. We and Zelle make no representation or warranty that a User Zelle tag accurately identifies a particular User of the Service.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time without notice. If you find these Terms of Use unacceptable at any time, you may discontinue your use of the Services, but these Terms of Use will survive such discontinuation with respect to activity occurring prior to such discontinuation. By continuing to use the Services after the date of any change of these Terms of Use you agree to be bound by the provisions contained in the most recent version of these Terms of Use.

3. Enrolling in the Service

(a) You must provide us with an email address that you regularly use and intend to use regularly (i.e., no disposable email addresses) and a permanent U.S. mobile phone number that you intend to use for an extended period (i.e., no “burner” numbers). You may not enroll in the Service with a landline phone number, Google Voice number, or Voice over Internet Protocol.

(b) Once registered, you may:

(i) authorize a debit of your Account to send money to another User, either at your initiation or at the request of that User; and

(ii) receive money from another User, either at that User’s initiation or at your request, subject to Section 8 below, entitled “Requesting Money.”

(c) If at any time while you are enrolled, you do not send or receive money using the Service for a period of 18 consecutive months, we may contact you and/or take other steps to confirm that the U.S. mobile phone number or email address that you enrolled still belongs to you. If we are unable to confirm that you are the owner of the mobile phone number or email address, then you understand that we may cancel your enrollment and you will not be able to send or receive money with the Service until you enroll again.

(d) Once enrolled, a Z logo will appear on your profile picture for each U.S. mobile number and/or email address that you have enrolled with Zelle. The Z logo will be displayed to other Users to aid them in determining which of your U.S mobile numbers or email addresses should be used to send money with Zelle. If a User sends you money using a different U.S. mobile number or email address that they may have for you (one that is not already enrolled), you will receive a message with instructions on how to enroll with Zelle.

You consent to the receipt of emails or text messages from us, from Zelle, from other Users that are sending money to you or requesting money from you, and from other Network Banks or their agents regarding the Service or related transfers between Network Banks and you. You agree that we may, Zelle may, or either of our agents may, use automatic telephone dialing systems in connection with text messages sent to any mobile phone number you register. You further acknowledge and agree:

  1. You are responsible for any fees or other charges that your wireless carrier may charge for any related data, text, or other message services, including, without limitation, for short message service. Please check your mobile service agreement for details or applicable fees.

7. Receiving Money; Money Transfers by Network Banks

Once a User initiates a transfer of money to your email address, mobile phone number, or Zelle tag enrolled with the Service, you have no ability to stop the transfer. By using the Service, you agree and authorize us to initiate credit entries to the bank account you have enrolled.

Most transfers of money to you from other Users will occur within minutes. There may be other circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle, and the other Network Banks, we may need or Zelle may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person sending the money. We may also delay or block the transfer to prevent fraud or meet our regulatory obligations. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated through a request for money, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e., email, push notification).

If you are receiving a payment from a business or government agency, your payment will be delivered in accordance with both these Terms of Use and the procedures of the business or government agency sending you the payment.

8. Requesting Money

You may request money from another User. You understand and acknowledge that Users to whom you send payment requests may reject or ignore your request. Neither we nor Zelle guarantee that you will receive money from other Users by sending a payment request, or that you will receive the amount that you request. If a User ignores your request, we may decide or Zelle may decide, in our sole discretion, that we will not send a reminder or repeat request to that User.

By accepting these Terms of Use, you agree that you are not engaging in the business of debt collection by attempting to use the Service to request money for the payment or collection of an overdue or delinquent debt; to request money that is owed to another person; or to collect any amounts that are owed pursuant to a court order. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless us, Zelle, its owners, directors, officers, agents, and Network Banks from, and against, all claims, losses, expenses, damages, and costs (including, but not limited to, direct, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or indirect damages), and reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from, or arising out of, any request for money that you sent that is related to overdue or delinquent amounts.

You agree to receive money requests from other Users, and to only send requests for legitimate and lawful purposes. Requests for money are solely between the sender and recipient and are not reviewed or verified by us or Zelle. Neither we nor Zelle assume responsibility for the accuracy or legality of such requests and do not act as a debt collector on your behalf or on behalf of the sender of a request for money.

We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to terminate your ability to send requests for money in general, or to specific recipients, if we deem such requests to be potentially unlawful, abusive, offensive, or unwelcome by the recipient.

9. Sending Money; Debits by Network Banks

You may send money to another User at your initiation or in response to that User’s request for money. You understand and agree that use of this Service shall at all times be subject to (i) these Terms of Use, and (ii) your express authorization at the time of the transaction for us to initiate a debit entry to your bank account. You understand that when you send the payment, you will have no ability to stop it. You may only cancel a payment if the person to whom you sent the money has not yet enrolled in the Service. If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle, either in the Zelle mobile app or with a Network Bank, the money is sent directly to their bank account (except as otherwise provided herein) and may not be cancelled or revoked.

In most cases, when you are sending money to another user, the transfer will occur in minutes; however, there are circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle, and other Network Banks, we may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person receiving the money. If you are sending money to someone who has not enrolled as a User with Zelle, either in the Zelle mobile app or with a Network Bank, they will receive a text or email notification instructing them on how to enroll to receive the money. The transfer may take up to two (2) days from the date the intended recipient responds to the payment notification by registering as a User. You understand and acknowledge that a person to whom you are sending money and who is not enrolling as a User may fail to enroll with Zelle, or otherwise ignore the payment notification, and the transfer may not occur.

The money may also be delayed or the transfer may be blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e., email, push notification).

We have no control over the actions of other Users, other Network Banks or other financial institutions that could delay or prevent your money from being delivered to the intended User.

THE SERVICE IS INTENDED FOR SENDING MONEY TO FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND OTHERS WHOM YOU TRUST. YOU SHOULD NOT USE ZELLE TO SEND MONEY TO PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR, OR YOU DO NOT TRUST. ZELLE DOES NOT OFFER A PROTECTION PROGRAM FOR AUTHORIZED PAYMENTS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE (FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THE GOODS OR SERVICES THAT YOU PAID FOR, OR THE GOODS OR SERVICES THAT YOU RECEIVED ARE DAMAGED OR ARE OTHERWISE NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED).

10.Limits

We reserve the right, at any time and in our sole discretion, to impose limits on the amount(s) of money you may transfer over a certain period of time. If you attempt to make a transfer in excess of your limit, your transaction may be rejected. Your current daily dollar limit can be found by contacting customer service either through the chat feature on online banking or calling 833-427-2265 (dial 711 for TRS). There is no daily or monthly limit on the number of transfers you can make, as long as your respective monthly dollar limits is not exceeded.

11. Funds Availability; Cut-Off Times

We will make funds available for money received in accordance with our standard funds availability policy, as outlined in the Deposit Agreements.

Subject to these Terms of Use, the Service is generally available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven days a week, with the exception of outages for maintenance and circumstances beyond our or Zelle’s control. Live customer service generally will be available Monday through Friday, excluding U.S. bank holidays.

12. Transaction Errors; Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

If you believe an unauthorized transaction was made in any Activated Account in connection with any Service, call us immediately at 833-427-2265 or dial 711 for TTY/TRS, or write to: KeyBank, Customer Disputes, 555 Patroon Creek Blvd., Albany, NY 12206.

You are responsible for all electronic funds transfers and electronic payments you make using the Service. If you permit other persons to use the Service or your User ID or Password, you are responsible for all electronic funds transfer transactions they make from your Activated Accounts. You are liable for all transfers and payments that you make or are made by any other user, even if such user exceeds your authority or is not an authorized signer on your Account. You must notify us immediately if you believe any of your Activated Accounts was accessed or your Password was used without your permission. As long as you give us timely notice within sixty (60) days after the date of the statement on which the error first appears in your Activated Account in accordance with the error resolution procedures in the Deposit Agreement or described in the EFT Disclosure Statement applicable to consumer electronic funds transfer transactions, we will reimburse you for the reasonable service charges that you have incurred due to our failure to comply with any instruction that you entered and we confirmed in accordance with these Terms of Use. This commitment does not cover delays or losses of payments by the U.S. Postal Service or any other common carrier, tax payments, court ordered payments, or any payment request not honored by KeyBank. If you are an individual and use your Activated Account for personal, family or household purposes, important limitations on your liability for unauthorized electronic funds transfers and other electronic errors that are covered by Regulation E (12 C.F.R. Part 1005) are explained in our EFT Disclosure Statement. However, if you use the Services for any business activity, you assume all risk of loss for unauthorized transfers and payments, and you must establish your own internal security procedures for employees you authorize to use the Services and to prevent all unauthorized use by other employees or persons.

13. Liability for Failure to Complete Transfers

The Deposit Agreement, User Agreement, and our EFT Disclosure Statement describe our responsibility for completing electronic funds transfers and electronic payments, and our exceptions from liability for our failure to do so. These Terms of Use applies to your online transactions under the Services. WE WILL ALSO HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE A PAYMENT OR TRANSFER YOU INITIATE OR ATTEMPT TO INITIATE THROUGH THE SERVICE UNDER ANY OF THESE CIRCUMSTANCES: (1) if the transfer or payment could not be completed due to Systems Unavailability or due to any circumstances beyond our control, including, without limitation, acts of God, any malfunction of your internet access equipment, any internet virus, Trojan horse, worm or other hostile software code, or any problem that may be associated with your use of any Service or (2) if the payment was a tax payment, a court ordered payment or payment to a payee outside the U.S.A. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SERVICE, PRODUCT, OR OFFER. NO WARRANTY IS PROVIDED THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE FREE FROM DEFECTS OR VIRUSES OR THAT OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND ANY MATERIAL OR SERVICES OBTAINED OR ACCESSED VIA THE SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THEIR USE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Fees

There is no fee to use the Service; however, regular charges will apply to your Account(s), as applicable. We may change the fees that apply to the Service, and the circumstances under which fees may be waived at any time for any reason. We will give you reasonable notice of such change as required by law.

If we process a transaction in accordance with your instructions that overdraws your Account with us, we may assess a fee or charge interest for any such overdraft in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreements.

If any provision of these Terms of Use conflicts with the law under which these Terms of Use are to be construed or if any provision of these Terms of Use are held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in accordance with applicable law. The remaining provisions of these Terms of Use and the application of the challenged provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable will not be affected thereby, and each of those provisions will be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

Subject to applicable law, we may terminate or suspend these Terms of Use and your use of the Service, in whole or in part, at any time for any reason without cause and without prior notice.
