To send money using Zelle, simply select someone from your mobile device’s contacts (or add a trusted recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile phone number), add 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.
To request money using Zelle, choose Request, select the individual from whom you’d like to request money, enter the amount you’d like, include an optional note, review and hit Request. If the person you are requesting money from is not yet enrolled with Zelle, you must use their email address to request money. If the person has enrolled their U.S. mobile number, then you can send the request using their mobile number.
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 be sent directly into your Fifth Third Bank account, typically within minutes.
