FAQ
Is Zelle like Venmo? No. While Venmo is a third-party wallet, Zelle is a service provided by the banks themselves. It is embedded directly in your existing banking app, making it more secure and easier to track.
Can I use a business account? Yes, most business banking accounts also support Zelle for small business payments.
I don’t see Zelle in my app. Check the Zelle website to see if your bank is a partner. Most major US banks are included.
