Who can I send money to with Zelle®?

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 personal checking account to another person’s bank account within minutes,¹ Zelle^® should only be used to send money to friends, family 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).

Neither United Teletech Financial Federal Credit Union 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.
