How can i check my zelle account

What is Zelle®?

Zelle® is a convenient way to send and receive money from friends, family and other people you know and trust. You can send money to almost anyone with an eligible U.S.-based bank account using their email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

When you enroll with Zelle® using Wells Fargo Online® or Wells Fargo Mobile®, we establish a connection between your email address or U.S. mobile phone number and your eligible Wells Fargo checking or savings account.

Who can I send money to?

You can use Zelle® to send money to almost anyone with an eligible U.S.-based bank account. Eligibility requirements may vary depending on where your recipient banks. For your protection, you should only use Zelle® when sending money to people you know and trust, such as friends and family. (Note: You can't use prepaid cards to send money with Zelle®.)

Check with your recipient to ensure their correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number is enrolled in Zelle® so they can receive money.

What protections do I have when I use Zelle®?

You are protected in the unlikely event an unauthorized user accesses your consumer accounts and initiates payments using Wells Fargo Online or Wells Fargo Mobile.

However, because Zelle® is intended to replace instances where cash and checks are being exchanged, you do not have the same protections associated with a credit card or a debit card transaction, such as the ability to dispute purchase transactions. Once you send money with Zelle®, you cannot cancel the payment if your recipient has already enrolled. Neither Wells Fargo nor Zelle® offers a protection program for any authorized 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.

We recommend you only send money to known and trusted recipients when using Zelle®.

Is there a fee for Zelle®?

Wells Fargo does not charge a fee to send or receive money with Zelle®. However, when using Zelle® on a mobile device, your mobile carrier’s message and data rates may apply.

How much money can I send and receive with Zelle®?

Sending limits: For your security, we restrict the amount of money you can send to recipients. There are daily and 30-day (rolling) limits. The amounts you can send daily and over 30 days will vary based on your funding account, your recipient, your account and online banking history, and the payment history for each recipient.

Receiving limits: We do not limit how much money you can receive with Zelle® using your email address or U.S. mobile phone number. However, the sender may be subject to limits on how much they can send you, based on the policies of their financial institution or payment network.

For more information about Zelle® sending and receiving limits with Wells Fargo, see the Zelle® Transfer Service Addendum. These limits apply only to Zelle® payments when initiated from Wells Fargo Online® or the Wells Fargo Mobile® app.

When will my payment arrive with Zelle®?

Once your recipient enrolls either a U.S. mobile phone number or email address with Zelle®, payments are typically delivered within minutes. In some cases, we may need to delay or block a payment for your protection.

What is the difference between the Wells Fargo Zelle® experience and the separate Zelle® app?

Wells Fargo partners with Zelle® to offer a unique experience to our customers that is only available through Wells Fargo Online and Wells Fargo Mobile. Other financial institutions may partner with Zelle® and offer their own Zelle® experience for their customers, subject to their own terms and conditions.

There is also a separate Zelle® app that is not operated or maintained by Wells Fargo or any other financial institution. Instead, it is operated by Early Warning Services LLC, a third-party entity. The Zelle® app is only available for use by consumers whose financial institution does not offer Zelle® to its customers. To send money to an eligible small business, both parties must be enrolled with Zelle® directly through their financial institution's online or mobile banking experience.

For more information, see the Zelle® Transfer Service Addendum.

Who are the Zelle® participating financial institutions?

For a full list of participating financial institutions, visit zellepay.com/partners.

If your recipient does not have an account with a Zelle® participating financial institution, you can still use Zelle® through Wells Fargo Online or Wells Fargo Mobile to send them money from your personal account. They can use the separate Zelle® app to receive the money, subject to eligibility requirements and terms and conditions. To send money to an eligible small business, both parties must be enrolled with Zelle® directly through their financial institution's online or mobile banking experience.

Remember to only use Zelle® to send money to friends, family, and people you know and trust.

What does enroll mean?

When you enroll your email address or U.S. mobile number with Wells Fargo to receive money with Zelle®, you are establishing a connection between the email address or U.S. mobile number and your bank account where we will deposit your money. When someone sends you money, they use your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number. Once the payment is processed, we will automatically deposit the funds into that account.

How do I send money?

Follow these steps to Send money with Zelle®:

1. Go to Send money with Zelle®
   Sign on to Wells Fargo Online, then go to Send Money with Zelle® located under Transfer and Pay in the main menu. In Wells Fargo Mobile, sign on and tap Zelle® in the bottom bar. If you’re not yet enrolled, you’ll be asked to accept our terms and conditions and enroll an email address or U.S. mobile number, and link a deposit account so you can receive money with Zelle®.
2. Add or select recipient
   To add a recipient, select the “ + ” icon at the upper right of your screen and enter your recipient’s information. If your recipient is already in your list of recipients, select their name (smartphone) or the arrow to the right of their name (desktop and tablet) to continue.
3. Enter amount and select your funding account
   Enter the amount you want to send and choose an account to fund your payment. On desktop or tablet devices, you may have the option to select a delivery speed. Next, select Continue.
4. Review and send
   Carefully review the details of your payment before you send it. If it’s the first time you’ve sent money to this recipient, we will send you an access code to help verify your identity. If your recipient’s U.S. mobile phone number or email address is enrolled with Zelle®, we’ll display the name of the recipient on record before you continue (in some cases, this may only be a first name). After you send your payment, you’ll get a confirmation screen with the details of your payment.
5. Recipient is notified
   Your recipient will be notified by email or text message with the details of your payment and instructions on how to enroll to receive the money if action is necessary.
6. Recipients must enroll to receive money
   If your recipient is not enrolled with Zelle®, they’ll need to enroll to receive money. They will have fourteen (14) days to complete their one-time enrollment using the same email address or U.S. mobile number you used to send them the payment. If your recipient does not enroll with Zelle® within 14 days, the money will be returned back to your account. Once your recipient enrolls with Zelle®, this and all future payments to them are typically delivered in minutes. In some cases, we may need to delay or block a payment for your protection.

Will I receive text messages from Wells Fargo when I use Zelle®?

Wells Fargo may send you text messages related to your Zelle® activity (like when you add a new recipient or when you send money to a first-time recipient). Wells Fargo text messages related to Zelle® will come from either 93557 or 93729. You can stop text messages related to Zelle® by following the instructions found in the body of the text messages.

Wells Fargo will need to help verify your identity before processing some Zelle® payments, including when you send money to a first-time recipient. This step requires us to send you a text message code. To complete this verification step, you must have either a text-enabled mobile device or an RSA SecureID device.

How do I receive money?

To receive money, you must enroll an email address or U.S. mobile number with Zelle® in Wells Fargo Online. Once enrolled, provide that email address or U.S. mobile number to the person sending you money. They can use it to send you money, whether through Wells Fargo, another Zelle® participating financial institution, or the separate Zelle® app. To receive money from an eligible small business, both parties must be enrolled with Zelle® directly through their financial institution's online or mobile banking experience.

When someone sends you money, you’ll be notified by email or text message. The money will be automatically directed into the account you’ve linked to your Zelle® profile as your deposit account.

How do I request money with Zelle®?

You can request money from another person using Wells Fargo Mobile on your smartphone. To send a request for money, tap Zelle® in the bottom bar and select Request. From there, select a recipient (the person who will receive your request) from your list of recipients or add a recipient by selecting the “+” icon. In order to send payment requests to a U.S. mobile number, the mobile number must already be enrolled with Zelle®. Next, enter the amount of your request, review it, and select Send.

Before you can request money, you must have enrolled an email address or U.S. mobile number with Zelle®. Note: Request money is not yet available on the Wells Fargo Online desktop or tablet experience.

What do I do if my recipient never received my payment?

If your recipient did not receive your payment, make sure they’ve enrolled an email address or U.S. mobile number with Zelle®. If they have enrolled, check that the email address or U.S. mobile number you used to send money to your recipient is associated with your recipient’s Zelle® profile.

You can check the payment status in your Zelle® Activity. In some cases, payments may be delayed or blocked for your protection.

For additional help, you can call Wells Fargo Online Customer Service at 1-800-956-4442, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Can I cancel a payment?

If your recipient has already enrolled with Zelle®, the payment is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. Keep in mind that Zelle® payments are not covered by the same protections as credit card and debit card payments.

If the payment is still pending because your recipient has not yet enrolled, you may cancel it. Go to your Zelle® Activity, choose the payment you want to cancel, then select Cancel Payment.

We recommend that you only use Zelle® to send and receive money with people you know and trust. Always remember to carefully verify your recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile number before you send money.
