At Allegacy, your security is our top priority. That’s why we’re making an important change to how you send money.

Pay-a-Person(P2P) is a free digital service available to members through online banking and mobile banking that provides an easy, seamless experience to help members quickly move their money. It replaces the need for cash, downloading a separate payment app, and check writing when paying a person.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Pay-a-Person is designed for payments made to individuals. The Sender of the payment must be a member of Allegacy. However, the Recipient of the payment can be anyone in the United States with a deposit account at a financial institution or a debit card that accepts a credit push. End-users should never send someone they do not know a P2P payment.

F.A.Qs

Pay-a-Person is a free digital service available to members through online banking and mobile banking that provides an easy, seamless experience to help members quickly move their money. It replaces the need for cash, downloading a separate payment app, and check writing when paying a person. Pay-a-Person is designed for payments made to individuals that are known to the member.

A Contact can be added using either a phone number or email address.

End-users can schedule payments at any time. Payments can be set up with the following frequency options: One-time, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Annually, Every 2 weeks, Twice a Month, Every 6 Months

The Recipient will see the payment in their account the following business day after accepting the payment if they enter their account and routing numbers or in real-time if entering their debit card information or Allegacy account information.

Yes. A $1 fee applies for all real-time debit card transactions.

A contact can receive their funds the next business day by entering their account and routing information. There is no fee with this payment option.

Both the Sender and Recipient will be notified when the payment is sent and when it has been delivered. Notifications are sent to the sender when a contact or payment is created, changed or updated. End-users may also opt into Alerts for additional information delivery.

If after seven (7) days the recipient does not claim the funds, the transaction is canceled. At that point, the sender’s account is never debited.

Yes, if the Recipient does not claim their payment from the Sender, the payment will be canceled, and the Sender will need to set up the payment again. Both the Sender and Recipient are notified when the payment link has expired.

For electronic payments processed via ACH, the user can cancel a payment up until the payment cutoff time on the day the payment is scheduled to send. For Real Time payments, the transfer cannot be canceled.

A security question and answer are established for the Recipient by the Sender when adding the Contact. The question and answer are secret between the two parties and the Sender must share the information before sending the payment. The security question will be used each time by the Recipient for any changes they need to make to their payment instructions.
