How to Pay it Safe with Zelle®

'

Only Send Money to Those You Trust

With Zelle®, you can send money from your account to someone else’s within minutes1. It’s a great way to pay friends, family, your coworkers and others you trust, even if they bank somewhere different than you do1, but it shouldn’t be used to pay strangers.

Beware of Payment Scams

While using Zelle® is a fast way to send money, it’s important to slow down and keep an eye out for signs of a scam. If you detect suspicious activity, contact your financial institution directly.
