  • Non-registered recipients:
    • Recipients need to register their mobile number or email address with Zelle®.
    • If the mobile number or email address isn't registered within 14 calendar days, the payment expires, and funds are returned to your account. 
    • The notification is sent as a text if you sent the payment to their mobile number or as an email if you sent the payment to their email address.
    • We'll send the recipient a notification the funds that were sent. The notice includes instructions on how the recipient registers with their financial institution to claim the money. 
  • Registered recipients: No further action is needed as long as their financial institution supports automatic deposit. If their financial institution doesn't support it, they'll need to manually accept the payment.
