Sending Money with Zelle® Through U.S. Bank Online Banking

After you’ve successfully completed your U.S. Bank login and accessed your account online, sending money with Zelle® is just a few clicks away. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Navigate to Transfer & Pay: Once logged in, look for the Transfer & pay option in the main menu. Click on this, and then select Send & request money with Zelle®. This will take you to the Zelle® interface within your U.S. Bank online banking.

2. Choose or Add Your Recipient: You’ll now see your list of Zelle® recipients. Select the person you want to send money to. If you’re sending money to someone new, you can easily add them at this stage by selecting the option to add a new recipient and entering their email address or mobile number.

3. Enter Payment Details: Next, you’ll need to specify the details of your payment. This includes:

   • Amount: Enter the exact amount of money you wish to send.
   • Message (Optional): While optional, adding a message can be helpful for your recipient to know what the payment is for.
   • Frequency: Choose how often you want to send money – options include One time, Monthly, Weekly, Every 2 Weeks, and Yearly.
   • Send date: Select the date you want the funds to be sent. Keep in mind that this is the send date, and deposit times may vary.
   • From account: Choose the U.S. Bank account you want to send the money from.

4. Review and Send: Before finalizing the transaction, carefully review all the details on the Review & send page. Ensure the recipient, amount, and sending account are all correct. If everything looks good, click Send to send the money immediately, or Schedule if you’ve chosen a future or recurring payment option.

Sending Money with Zelle® Using the U.S. Bank Mobile App

For those who prefer banking on the go, the U.S. Bank Mobile App provides a convenient way to send money with Zelle® right from your smartphone. After your U.S. Bank login on the mobile app, follow these steps:

   • Amount: Enter the amount you wish to send.
   • Memo (Optional): Add a memo to provide context for the payment.
   • Pay from account: Select the U.S. Bank account you want to use for the payment.

Key Information to Enhance Your Zelle® Experience with U.S. Bank

To make your experience with Zelle® through U.S. Bank even smoother, here are a few important points to keep in mind:

• Personalize with eCards: After sending money, you have the option to send an eCard to your recipient. On the confirmation page, simply select Choose an eCard to add a personal touch to your transaction.

• The Value of Messages/Memos: While messages or memos are not mandatory, they are highly recommended. A personal note assures your recipients that the money is indeed from someone they know and helps clarify the purpose of the payment for both parties.

• Recipient Registration is Key: For the transaction to go through smoothly, recipients must have their mobile number or email address registered with Zelle®. If a recipient isn’t registered within 14 calendar days, the payment will expire, and the funds will be returned to your account.

  • For Non-Registered Recipients: U.S. Bank will notify the recipient that funds have been sent. This notification will include clear instructions on how they can register with their financial institution or directly with Zelle® to claim their money. The notification is sent via text if you used their mobile number or via email if you used their email address.
  • For Registered Recipients: If your recipient is already registered with Zelle® and their financial institution supports automatic deposit, they typically don’t need to do anything further. If their bank doesn’t support automatic deposit, they might need to manually accept the payment.

By following these steps after your U.S. Bank login, you can confidently and efficiently send money using Zelle®, whether you’re using online banking or the mobile app. This streamlined process ensures that your financial transactions are quick, secure, and convenient.
