You must have a bank account in the U.S. to use Zelle®. You'll also need a valid email address or U.S. mobile phone number.


Can I use Zelle® internationally?

Who can I send money to?


Zelle® is a great way to send money to family, friends, and people you know, like your neighbor, your roommate, or your babysitter. It's important to remember that money is sent directly from your New York Community Bank account to another person's bank account typically within minutes, so Zelle® shouldn't be used to send money to people you don't know or trust.

Neither New York Community Bank, nor Zelle®, offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle® – for example, if you don’t receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.


Is there a fee?


New York Community Bank doesn't charge a fee to send or receive money via Zelle®, however, there may be scenarios where using Zelle® may incur charges.
If you send a transaction for which you have insufficient funds to cover the transaction, non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees may apply.

While you may cancel a scheduled Zelle® transaction at any time before it processes, New York Community Bank will charge you a fee to cancel a pending payment sent to a recipient that has not yet enrolled.

Mobile carrier fees may apply.


Is it secure?


Yes. When you use Zelle® within NYCB Online or NYCB Mobile, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your accounts safe.


How do I get started?


It's easy. Zelle® is already available within NYCB Online and NYCB Mobile. Just sign in online or the app and follow a few simple steps to enroll with Zelle® today. We recommend you enroll before someone sends you money - this will help you get your first payment faster.

How does Zelle® work?


Whether you enroll through NYCB Online or NYCB Mobile, we establish a connection between your email address or U.S. mobile phone number and your preferred checking.
Your name, financial institution name, and email address or U.S. mobile phone number you enrolled with is shared with Zelle® (no sensitive account details are shared - those stay with NYCB). When someone sends money to your enrolled email address or U.S mobile number, Zelle® looks up the email address or U.S. mobile phone number in its "directory" and notifies NYCB of the incoming payment. NYCB then directs the payment into your account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private.


How do I send money?


NYCB Online: Login to NYCB Online and choose “Send Money with Zelle®” from the upper navigation bar.

NYCB Mobile: Login to NYCB Mobile and choose “Transfer & Pay” and select “Send Money with Zelle®”.


How do I receive money?


If you are already enrolled with Zelle®, no further action is needed. If someone sends you money, the money will move directly into your account, typically within minutes.

If you have not enrolled with Zelle®, and someone sends you money, this is what you need to do:
  1. Click on the link provided in the payment notification you received via email or text message.
  2. Select “New York Community Bank”.
  3. Follow the instructions provided on the page to enroll. You should enroll with Zelle® using the email address or U.S. mobile number on which you received the notification to ensure you receive your money.
  4. In most cases, the money will be available in minutes.


Can I cancel a payment?


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 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.


How do I “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 minutes. It’s a great way to pay friends, family, your coworkers and almost anyone else you trust, but it shouldn’t be used to pay strangers.

Beware of payment scams. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Neither New York Community Bank nor Zelle® offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle® - so only use Zelle® to pay people you know and trust.

Treat Zelle® like cash. Money moves fast - directly into the enrolled recipient’s bank account. Always double check you have the recipient’s correct U.S. mobile number or email address, so the money goes to the right person.

I’m unsure about using Zelle® to pay someone I don’t know. What should I do?


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 New York Community Bank, 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.

Who can I send money to with Zelle® when I have a small business bank account?


When you use Zelle® with a small business account, you can send money to other small businesses with a financial institution that offers Zelle® to small businesses. You can also send money to consumers that have access to Zelle® through their mobile banking app. At this time, we don't support sending to (or receiving from) consumers that are only enrolled in the Zelle® app.

If the small business or consumer you send money to has already enrolled with Zelle® through their bank’s mobile app, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. 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.


I have a small business bank account. Who can I receive payments from with Zelle®?


You can receive payments from consumers using Zelle® through their bank’s mobile app. You can also receive payments from other small businesses if their financial institution offers Zelle® to small businesses.

How long does it take to receive payments with Zelle®?


Once you're enrolled with Zelle®, money you receive is typically available within minutes.


How do I receive payments with Zelle®?


First, you should enroll your email address or U.S. mobile number with Zelle® through your mobile banking app and associate it with your small business banking account. Second, share your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number with your customers and ask them to send you payment with Zelle® right from their banking app. You don’t need to share any sensitive account details; they can send you money by using your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number to identify you. After the consumer sends you payment with Zelle®, you will receive your money directly into your enrolled bank account.


How do I request payments with Zelle®?


You can also request payments directly through your mobile banking app by clicking “Send Money with Zelle®,” selecting “Request,” entering your customer’s email address or U.S. mobile number, confirming the recipient is correct (make sure you’ve entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile number of the person or business you want to request payment from) and tapping “request”.

If your customer is using Zelle® through their bank’s mobile app, they’ll be able to pay you with Zelle®. You’ll receive a payment notification once your customer has sent you money in response to your request. If your customer is enrolled in the Zelle® app, they will not be able to send you money with Zelle®, and you should arrange for a different payment method. Note that if the person you are requesting money from is not yet enrolled with Zelle®, you must use their email address to request money.


How do I tell my customers that they can pay me with Zelle®?


There are a few ways you can encourage your customers to pay you with Zelle®?
  • Tell customers verbally that you accept payments with Zelle®, and that they can easily send you money right from their banking app.
  • Include it on an invoice. We recommend adding “I accept payments with Zelle®” or “Pay me with Zelle®”.
  • Use Zelle® to request money* from your customers (which will send them a notification telling them you’ve requested payment with Zelle®).
  • Add pre-approved Zelle® content to your business website: zellepay.com/smallbusiness-toolkit.

Please note, you’ll only be able to receive payments from consumers using Zelle® through their financial institution’s mobile banking app. You will not be able to receive payments from consumers enrolled in the Zelle® app. If the person you are requesting money from is not yet enrolled with Zelle®, you must use their email address to request money.

I want to use Zelle® to send and receive money with friends from my personal bank account, as well as to receive payments for my small business from my business account. Are there any differences in the experience?


Whether you use Zelle® with a business account or a consumer account, Zelle® uses the same network to initiate payments to small businesses and consumers. Consumers who are already enrolled with Zelle® through their mobile banking app don’t need to do anything different to send money to a small business – they use the existing Zelle® experience they already know and trust within their bank’s mobile app. However, the experience is slightly different for small businesses*, as small businesses cannot currently send payments to or receive payments from consumers who are only enrolled in the Zelle® app.


If I already use Zelle® for my small business, do I need to do something different to continue using Zelle®?


Read the updated terms and conditions that were provided by New York Community Bank.


I already use Zelle® through my personal bank account. How do I enroll to use Zelle® with my small business bank account?


To get started, log into NYCB online banking or mobile app. To enroll a small business bank account with Zelle®, you must use a different U.S. mobile number or email address than the one you used to enroll your personal bank account with Zelle®.


If I use Zelle® for my small business, will Zelle® integrate with software?


No, Zelle® does not integrate directly with accounting software at this time. However, since Zelle® is connected to your bank account, you are able to see all Zelle® transactions in your online banking transaction records. If your bank account transactions feed into accounting software, you will see the Zelle® transactions.


How do I know if my small business is eligible to use Zelle®?


You will be able to use Zelle® with your Business Checking or Business Savings account.


Who should I call if I have questions or need help?


Please call our customer contact center at (877) 786-6560.


Can I cancel a payment if I sent money using Zelle®?
