Did you set up your zelle through the app?
The Citibank set a daily limit for how much money you can receive into your account via zelle?
Is there any confirmation regarding the $450 promo after the account is fully opened origin did you have to reach out to a customer service representative to confirm this?

Let see in some weeks I get it, but anyway, I associated my payments for direct deposit.
I did a couple of Zelle transfers, totaling a little over $6k. And, the bonus was deposited in about 3 business days.
It is worth noting that my zip code was eligible only for $300 bonus, though.
