Person-to-Person Payments at Atlantic Union Bank

Person-to-person (P2P) payments at Atlantic Union Bank are a fast, secure, and convenient way to send and receive money directly between individuals — whether you are splitting a dinner bill, paying a roommate for utilities, sending a gift, or reimbursing a colleague.

How It Works

Getting started is simple. Enroll in person-to-person payments through your Atlantic Union Bank online banking or mobile app. Verify your identity and link a funding source — typically your Atlantic Union Bank checking account or an eligible debit card. To send money, choose a recipient from your contacts or enter their email address or mobile number, specify the amount, add an optional note, and confirm. The recipient receives a notification with instructions to accept the payment and, if necessary, link their bank information. Accepted transfers are deposited directly into the recipient’s account or made available through their chosen payout method.

Security and Privacy

Security is a top priority. Atlantic Union Bank employs multi-layered protections including encryption, secure login, multi-factor authentication, and continuous monitoring for suspicious activity. Sensitive account information is never shared with recipients during a transaction. Additionally, fraud prevention systems help identify unusual behavior and protect both senders and recipients. Always confirm recipient details before sending and enable mobile app security features like biometric login for added protection.

Fees and Limits

Atlantic Union Bank strives to keep P2P payments accessible and transparent. Many standard person-to-person transfers initiated from an Atlantic Union Bank checking account are free. There may be nominal fees for expedited transfers, transfers funded by certain debit cards, or for sending payments to non-bank payout methods. Transaction limits can vary based on account type, account age, and verification status; daily and monthly limits help protect customers and reduce fraud risk. Check your account settings for your specific limits and any applicable fees.

When to Use P2P Payments

Person-to-person payments are ideal for everyday peer transactions: splitting meals, covering shared rides, paying babysitters or handymen, sending gifts for birthdays or holidays, reimbursing coworkers for small expenses, and handling casual lending between friends or family. For business transactions, larger purchases, or recurring payments for services, other payment methods or a business account may be more appropriate.

Tips for Safe and Smooth Transfers

• Verify recipient contact details and confirm identity before sending significant amounts.
• Use the note field to document the purpose of the payment for your records.
• Enable mobile app alerts and biometric security for added protection.
• Keep the app updated to benefit from the latest security improvements and features.
• Be cautious with requests from unknown contacts — if something seems suspicious, contact the bank before proceeding.

Troubleshooting and Support

If a P2P transfer is delayed, check transaction status in your Atlantic Union Bank app or online portal; many issues can be resolved by confirming recipient information or checking funding availability. For unmatched or pending payments, the recipient may need to accept the payment or link a bank account. If you suspect fraud or need help resolving a disputed transfer, contact Atlantic Union Bank’s customer support for assistance. Support is available to help trace transactions, cancel pending payments when possible, and advise on next steps.
