Zelle®

What is Zelle? Zelle is a fast, safe and easy way to send money directly between almost any bank accounts in the U.S., typically within minutes. With just an email address or U.S. mobile phone number, you can send money to people you trust, regardless of where they bank. Who can I send money to with Zelle? You can send money to friends, family, small businesses, and others you trust. (2) Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person’s bank account within minutes (1), it’s important to only send money to people you trust, and always ensure you’ve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number. How do I use Zelle? You can send, request, or receive money with Zelle. To get started, log into your mobile banking app and select “Send Money with Zelle®”. Following the prompts, enter the information requested, and accept the terms and conditions. To send money using Zelle, simply select someone from your mobile device’s contacts (or add a trusted recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile phone number), add the amount you’d like to send, review, then hit “Send.” In most cases, the money is available to your recipient in minutes(1). To request money using Zelle, choose “Request,” select the individual from whom you’d like to request money, enter the amount you’d like to request, review and hit “Request”(3). To receive money, just share your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile phone number with a friend and ask them to send you money with Zelle. Someone sent me money with Zelle, how do I receive it? If you have already enrolled with Zelle, you do not need to take any further action. The money will move directly into your bank account, typically within minutes(1). If you have not yet enrolled with Zelle, follow these steps: 1. Click on the link provided in the payment notification you received via email or text message. 2. Select your bank or credit union’s name. 3. Follow the instructions provided on the page to enroll and receive your money. Pay attention to the email address or U.S. mobile phone number where you received the payment notification - you should enroll with Zelle using that email address or U.S. mobile phone number to ensure you receive your money. What if I want to send money to someone whose bank or credit union doesn’t offer Zelle? You can find a full list of participating banks and credit unions here. If your recipient’s bank or credit union isn’t on the list, don’t worry! The list of participating financial institutions is always growing, and your recipient can still use Zelle by downloading the Zelle app for Android and iOS. Can I use Zelle internationally? In order to use Zelle, the sender’s and recipient’s bank accounts must be based in the U.S. Can I cancel a payment? You can only cancel a payment if the person you sent money to hasn't yet enrolled with Zelle. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient hasn't yet enrolled, you can go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel, and then select "Cancel This Payment." If you sent money to the wrong person, we recommend contacting the recipient and requesting the money back. If you aren’t able to get your money back, call our customer support team at 662-453-4142 so we can help you. How long does it take to receive money with Zelle? Money sent with Zelle is typically available to an enrolled recipient within minutes. (1) If you send money to someone who isn’t enrolled with Zelle, they will receive a notification prompting them to enroll. After enrollment, the money will move directly to your recipient’s account, typically within minutes(1). If your payment is pending, we recommend confirming that the person you sent money to has enrolled with Zelle and that you entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number. If you’re waiting to receive money, you should check to see if you’ve received a payment notification via email or text message. If you haven’t received a payment notification, we recommend following up with the sender to confirm they entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number. Still having trouble? Call our customer support team at 662-453-4142 so we can help you. Will the person I send money to be notified? Yes! They will receive a notification via email or text message. Is my information secure? Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority. When you use Zelle within your mobile app, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your bank account safe. I’m unsure about using Zelle to pay someone I don’t know. What should I do? If you don’t know the person, or aren’t sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site), you should not use Zelle for these types of transactions. What if I get an error message when I try to enroll an email address or U.S. mobile number? Your email address or U.S. mobile phone number may already be enrolled with Zelle at another bank or credit union. If you would like to move your email address or U.S. mobile phone number from the financial institution where you initially enrolled with Zelle, simply click "Transfer" when prompted during the Zelle enrollment process and confirm your desired changes. Once you transfer your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, it will be connected to your bank account at the financial institution you selected and you can start sending and receiving money with Zelle right away. (1) Transactions typically occur in minutes when the recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile number is already enrolled with Zelle. (2) Must have a bank account in the U.S. to use Zelle. (3) In order to send payment requests or split payment requests to a U.S. mobile number, the mobile number must already be enrolled with Zelle.
