Send and Receive Money with Zelle^®

You can send, request or receive money with Zelle^®. To get started, log into personal online banking or your Bell Bank Mobile app and select “Send Money with Zelle^®.”

 

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 number), add the amount you’d like to send and an optional note, review, then hit “Send.” The recipient will receive an email or text message notification via the method they used to enroll with Zelle^®. Money is available to your recipient in minutes if they are already enrolled with Zelle^®.

 

To request money using Zelle^®, choose “Request,” select the individual from whom you’d like to request money, enter the amount you’d like, include an optional note, review and hit “Request.” If the person you are requesting money from is not yet enrolled with Zelle^®, you must use their email address to request money. If the person has enrolled their U.S. mobile number, then you can send the request using their U.S. mobile number.

 

To receive money, just share your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number with a friend and ask them to send you money with Zelle^®. If you have already enrolled with Zelle^®, you do not need to take any further action. The money will be sent directly into your Bell Bank account, typically within minutes.

 

If someone sent you money with Zelle^®, and 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 Bell Bank.
3. Follow the instructions provided on the page to enroll and receive your payment. Pay attention to the email address or U.S. mobile number where you received the payment notification. You should enroll with Zelle^® using that email address or U.S. mobile number to ensure you receive your money.

Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority for Bell Bank. When you use Zelle^® within our online banking or mobile app, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your bank account safe.

Zelle^® is a great way to send money to family, friends and people you are familiar with, such as your personal trainer, babysitter or neighbor.¹

 

Since money is sent directly from your Bell Bank account to another person’s bank account within minutes,¹ Zelle^® should only be used to send money to family, friends and others you trust.

 

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^®. These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don’t know is high risk).

As of March 31, 2025, all users must be enrolled through one of the more than 2,200 banks and credit unions that offer Zelle^® in order to send and receive money. The list of participating financial institutions is always growing. You can find the updated list of participating banks and credit unions live with Zelle^® at Zellepay.comundefined. If their bank or credit union is not listed, we recommend you use another payment method at this time.

No. Neither Bell Bank nor Zelle^® offer purchase protection for payments made with Zelle^® – for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for, or the item is not as described or as you expected. Only send money to people and small businesses you trust and always ensure you’ve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.

No, in order to use Zelle^®, the sender and recipient’s bank accounts or credit union accounts must be based in the U.S.

No, Zelle^® payments cannot be reversed. 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 do not see this option available, please contact our customer support team at 866-221-1136 and choose option 2 (technical support) for assistance canceling the pending payment.

 

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle^® through their bank or credit union’s mobile app [or online banking], 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 know and 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, please immediately call our customer support team at 866-221-1136 and choose option 2 (technical support) to determine what options are available.

No, Bell Bank does not charge any fees to use Zelle^® in our mobile and online banking app. Your mobile carrier’s messaging and data rates may apply.

The amount of money you can send, as well as the frequency, is set by each participating financial institution. To determine Bell Bank’s send limits, call our customer support team at 866-221-1136 and choose option 2 (technical support) for assistance.

 

At Bell Bank, there are no limits to the amount of money you can receive with Zelle^®. However, remember that the person sending you money will most likely have limits set by their own financial institution on the amount of money they can send you.
