Person-2-Person Mobile Payments

Person-2-Person Pay is a convenient way to send money electronically from your People's United Bank checking account to anyone who has a United States bank account, using Online or Mobile Banking. 

Yes, there are no fees for the Person-2-Person Pay service.

No account or financial information will be shared with your recipient. In order to process your transaction, we may share your name, email address and phone number with the recipient, in addition to anything you enter into the optional message field.

We establish the maximum amount of any payment transfer in a day using a set of pre-determined eligibility requirements based on how long you have been enrolled in the P2P services, the number of successful payments you have made, and how long it has been since your last P2P payment. If the eligibility requirements are met the maximum amount of any payment may not exceed $2,000.00 and the aggregate amount of transfers in a day may not exceed $2,000.00. If the eligibility requirements are not met, a lower introductory limit is established until the eligibility requirements are met.
