To enroll with the Zelle^® app, your recipient will enter their basic contact information, an email address and U.S. mobile number and a Visa^® or Mastercard^® debit card with a U.S.-based account (does not include U.S. territories).

When someone sends money to your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number, Zelle^® looks up the email address or mobile number in its "directory" and notifies of the incoming payment, then directs the payment into your bank account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private.

In order to use Zelle^®, the sender's and recipient's bank accounts must be based in the U.S.

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle^®, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why 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 number when sending money.

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, please look for the "We're here to help" section below to contact us. We will do our best to help you recover your funds, but there is not guarantee of a resolution.
