You can only cancel a payment if the person you sent money to has not yet enrolled with Zelle^®. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient has not yet enrolled, you can go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel, and then select "Cancel This Payment."

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle^®, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why it is important to only send money to people you trust, and always ensure you have 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 are not able to get your money back, please call South Carolina Federal at (800) 845-0432 so we can help you.

Scheduled or recurring payments sent directly to your recipient’s account number (instead of an email address or mobile number) are made available by South Carolina Federal but are a separate service from Zelle^® and can take 1 – 3 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.

A payoff quote is available for all loans and will include accrued interest and the daily per diem.
To obtain today's payoff or a 10 business day payoff quote for auto, boat, recreational vehicle, credit cards, or personal loans, visit a financial center or contact us. Any overage of your payoff will be deposited into your savings account or returned to you in an overpayment check.
