Zelle®

Zelle is a fast, safe and easy way to send money directly between almost any bank accounts in the U.S., typically within minutes. With just an email address or U.S. mobile phone number, you can send money to people you trust, regardless of where they bank.

You can send money to friends, family and others you trust.

Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person’s bank account within minutes, it’s important to only send money to people you trust and always ensure you’ve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number.

You can send, request or receive money with Zelle.

1. To get started, log into Pinnacle Bank’s online banking or mobile app, navigate to Bill Pay and select “Send Money with Zelle®”. Accept terms and conditions, enter your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, receive a one-time verification code, enter it and you’re ready to start sending and receiving with Zelle.
2. To send money using Zelle, simply add a trusted recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile phone number, enter the amount you’d like to send and an optional note, review, then hit “Send.” In most cases, the money is available to your recipient in minutes.
3. To request money using Zelle, choose “Request,” select the individual(s) from whom you’d like to request money, enter the amount you’d like to request, include an optional note, review and hit “Request”.
4. To receive money, just share your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile phone number with a friend and ask them to send you money with Zelle.

If you have already enrolled with Zelle, you do not need to take any further action. The money will move directly into your bank account, typically within minutes.

If you have not yet enrolled with Zelle, follow these steps:

1. Click on the link provided in the payment notification you received via email or text message.
2. Select Pinnacle Bank.
3. Follow the instructions provided on the page to enroll and receive your payment. Pay attention to the email address or U.S. mobile number where you received the payment notification – you should enroll with Zelle using that email address or U.S. mobile number where you received the notification to ensure you receive your money.

Zelle is a great way to send money to family, friends, and people you are familiar with such as your personal trainer, babysitter or neighbor.

Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person’s bank account within minutes, Zelle should only be used to send money to friends, family and others you trust.

Neither Pinnacle Bank nor Zelle offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle – for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.

It’s easy — Zelle is already available within Pinnacle Bank’s mobile banking app and online banking within Bill Pay! Check our app or sign-in online and follow a few simple steps to enroll with Zelle today.

You can find a full list of participating banks and credit unions live with Zelle here.

If your recipient’s financial institution isn’t on the list, don’t worry! The list of participating financial institutions is always growing and your recipient can still use Zelle by downloading the Zelle app for Android and iOS.

To enroll with the Zelle app, your recipient will enter their basic contact information, an email address and U.S. mobile number and a Visa® or Mastercard® debit card with a U.S. based account (does not include U.S. territories). Zelle does not accept debit cards associated with international deposit accounts or any credit cards.

When you enroll with Zelle through your online banking Bill Pay account or mobile banking app, your name, the name of your bank and the email address or U.S. mobile number you enrolled is shared with Zelle (no sensitive account details are shared – those stay with Pinnacle Bank).

When someone sends money to your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number, Zelle looks up the email address or mobile number in its “directory” and notifies Pinnacle Bank of the incoming payment. Pinnacle Bank then directs the payment into your bank account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private.

In order to use Zelle, the sender and recipient’s bank accounts must be based in the U.S.

You can only cancel a payment if the person you sent money to hasn’t yet enrolled with Zelle. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient hasn’t yet enrolled, go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel and select “Cancel This Payment.”

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why it’s important to only send money to people you trust and always ensure you’ve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.

If you sent money to the wrong person, we recommend contacting the recipient and requesting the money back. If you aren’t able to get your money back, please call customer services at 1-877-759-7939 so we can help you.

Scheduled and recurring payments are features provided by Pinnacle Bank in our online banking and mobile banking app and are not features of Zelle. Please contact customer services with any questions concerning scheduling or recurring payments.

You can cancel a payment that is scheduled in advance if the money has not already been deducted from your account.

Money sent with Zelle is typically available to an enrolled recipient within minutes.

If you send money to someone who isn’t enrolled with Zelle, they will receive a notification prompting them to enroll. After enrollment, the money will move directly to your recipient’s account, typically within minutes.

If your payment is pending, we recommend confirming that the person you sent money to has enrolled with Zelle and that you entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

If you’re waiting to receive money, you should check to see if you’ve received a payment notification via email or text message. If you haven’t received a payment notification, we recommend following up with the sender to confirm they entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

Still having trouble? Please contact customer services at 1-877-759-7939.

Yes! They will receive a notification via email or text message.

Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority for Pinnacle Bank. When you use Zelle within our mobile app or online banking, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your bank account safe.

If you don’t know the person or aren’t sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site), you should not use Zelle for these types of transactions.

These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don’t know is high risk). Neither Pinnacle Bank nor Zelle offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle – for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.

Your email address or U.S. mobile phone number may already be enrolled with Zelle at another bank or credit union. Call our customer support team (1-877-759-7939) and ask them to move your email address or U.S. mobile phone number to Pinnacle Bank so you can use it for Zelle.

Once customer support moves your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, it will be connected to your Pinnacle Bank account so you can start sending and receiving money with Zelle through the Pinnacle Bank mobile banking app and online banking. Please call Pinnacle Bank’s customer support toll-free at 1-877-759-7939 for help.
