A registered cellular device is a device that uses cellular service and is registered with us (U.S. Bank). Common devices include a smart phone or tablet and are assigned a mobile phone number.

Online banking: A mobile phone number is needed to use many of our digital services. However, you can use other services without one, like viewing your account details and reviewing your documents.

U.S. Bank Mobile App: A mobile phone number is required to use all services within the U.S. Bank Mobile App.

Examples of services that require a registered cellular device:

• Send and Receive money with Zelle.
• Internal transfers; external transfers; wire transfers.
• Changing anything in your profile (e.g., address or phone changes).
• DIY services like managing alerts and paying bills.

More information

Our alerts are all automated: text messages, emails, or an automatic telephone dialing system. This means if you want to use a cellular phone or other wireless device to receive alerts, we need your consent.  And if you decide not to give us consent, that’s ok. We’ll still try to contact you another way.

Please be aware, a mobile phone number can only be registered to one person at a time. You won’t be able to register a mobile phone number that's already been registered by another person. If you attempt to register a mobile number already registered by someone else, you'll receive an error.

We're unable to accept international phone numbers; only domestic phone numbers are allowed.
