Zelle® FAQs

Who can I send money to?

You can send money to people you know and trust with a bank account in the U.S. We recommend that you ask your recipient to enroll with Zelle® in their mobile banking app before you send them money - this will help them get your payment more quickly.

If you don't know the person or aren't sure you will get what you paid 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 Comerica Bank or Zelle® offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle® (example - if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected. 

How long does it take to receive money?

Money sent with Zelle® is typically available to an enrolled recipient within minutes. Ask your recipient to enroll with Zelle® before you send them money - this will help them get your payment more quickly. 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 your recipient enrolls, it may take between 1 to 3 business days for your recipient to receive that payment in their bank account.
