Zelle: A Reliable Payment Solution for Instant Transfers
Zelle offers a fast and convenient way to send and receive money instantly between friends, family, and businesses.
Zelle® has partnered with leading banks and credit unions across the United States to provide a fast, secure, and convenient way for you to send money to your friends and family. Money is transferred directly from bank account to bank account, ensuring quick transactions. If your bank or credit union offers Zelle, you can access it through your mobile banking app or online banking. If not, you can still use the Zelle app to send money to enrolled Zelle users who have access via their financial institution.
Zelle makes it simple and safe to settle payments with anyone you trust, using just their email address or U.S. mobile number. What's more, there are no fees associated with using Zelle (though mobile carrier or bank fees may apply).
Getting started with Zelle is easy:
- Download the Zelle app.
- Enroll using a Visa® or Mastercard® debit card linked to a U.S. checking account.
- If your bank supports it, enroll your U.S. checking account using your online banking username and password.
- Select the person you want to pay or request money from by entering their U.S. mobile number or email address.
- Confirm the amount and click send. If the recipient is already enrolled with Zelle, they will typically receive the money in minutes. If not, they will be notified and can follow a few simple steps to complete the payment.
Note: Some banks allow customers to enroll in the Zelle app using their online or mobile banking username and password.
