It’s easy — Zelle is already available within United Bank’s Mobile App! Check our app Bank With United and follow a few simple steps to enroll with Zelle today. We recommend you enroll with Zelle before anyone sends you money – this will help you get your first payment faster. You can find a full list of participating banks and credit unions live with Zelle here. Concerned your recipient’s bank isn’t listed? Don’t worry! Almost anyone with a bank account in the U.S. can receive money by using the Zelle app.

You can send, receive, or request² money with Zelle. To get started, make sure you are enrolled in United Bank’s mobile banking app, Bank With United in the Apple App Store or Google Play. If you’re already enrolled, select the “+” symbol, then select “Zelle” to get started.

To send money using Zelle, simply select your recipient from your mobile device’s contacts (or add your recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile number), add the amount you’d like to send, review, then hit “confirm.” In most cases, the money is available in minutes¹ .

When someone sends you money using Zelle, you will be notified via email or text message that you have received a payment.

To request money using Zelle, select the person that you are requesting a payment from and confirm that the email address or mobile phone number is accurate. You can then enter the amount you are requesting and confirm the request² .

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

If you don’t know the person or aren’t sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an on-line bidding or sales site), we recommend you do not use Zelle for these types of transactions. These transactions are potentially high risk, just like sending cash to a person you don’t know is high risk. Neither United Bank nor Zelle offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle.

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

United Bank does not charge any fees to use Zelle. Your mobile carrier’s messaging and data rates may apply. Inquire with your wireless provider for more information.

You can only cancel a payment if the recipient hasn’t yet enrolled with Zelle.

If the payment is still pending, you can go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel, and then select “Cancel This Payment.” If your recipient has already enrolled with Zelle, the money is sent directly to your recipient’s bank account and cannot be canceled.

Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person’s bank account within minutes1, please carefully review your payment before sending and only send money to recipients you know and trust.

It is important you confirm the recipients mobile or email address before you send money using Zelle. Neither Zelle nor United Bank is responsible if you enter the wrong number.  It’s safest to only use Zelle with confirmed people you know and trust.  If you sent money to the wrong person, we recommend contacting the recipient and requesting the money back.  If you wish to dispute the transaction, contact Customer Care at 1.800.327.9862.

Money sent with Zelle is typically available to an enrolled recipient within minutes¹. That’s why it is important to only send money to recipients you know and trust. Ask your recipient to enroll with Zelle before you send them money – this will help them get your payment more quickly. Many recipients already have Zelle available through their bank’s mobile app. Find a list of all participating banks and credit unions here.

If your recipient's bank isn't on the list, your recipient can still use Zelle by downloading the Zelle app for Android and iOS. If you send money to someone who isn’t enrolled with Zelle, they will receive a payment notification prompting them to enroll with Zelle. After enrollment, the money will move directly into your recipient's account. Once their first payment completes, your receipient will be able to receive future payments faster, typically within minutes¹.

If your payment is still pending, we recommend confirming that the person you sent money to has enrolled with Zelle and that you entered the right email address or U.S. mobile number. If you’re waiting to receive money, we recommend confirming that the sender entered the right email address or U.S. mobile number.

You can split the cost of an expense, like gas for a roadtrip, with mutiple people. When on the Zelle tab of the Bank With United app, select the "Split" option². Choose the recipients that you want to split a payment between and enter the amount. Keep in mind that Zelle will factor in your portion of the payment. For example, if you paid for dinner, and now want to split the cost of the dinner with two friends, add $30 as the Split amount and the two contacts you select will both be asked to pay you $10 each. In this scenario, you will not be charged for your portion of the dinner (since you already paid for it). The cost of the dinner does not need to be split equally, you can change the amount you're requesting from each person and the remaining portion will adjust.

If someone sends you money, you will be notified via email or text message.
