Zelle® FAQs
Zelle® is a fast, safe and easy way for small businesses to send, receive, and request money typically within minutes1 with customers and eligible vendors they trust. If your customers use Zelle® within their financial institution’s banking app, they can send payments directly to your Spring Bank bank account with just your email address or U.S. mobile number.
Eligible small business accounts can send, receive, or request money with Zelle®. To get started, log into Spring Bank’s online banking or mobile app and select “Send Money with Zelle®”. Enter your email address or U.S. mobile number, receive a one-time verification code, enter it, accept the terms and conditions, and you’re ready to start sending and receiving money with Zelle®.
To send money with Zelle®, simply select someone from your mobile device’s contacts (or add a trusted recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile 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.1
If the small business or consumer you send money to has already enrolled with Zelle® through their banking app, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. 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.
To receive money using Zelle® with a small business account, share your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number with your customers and ask them to send you payment with Zelle® right from their banking app. No need to share any sensitive account details. After the consumer sends you payment with Zelle®, you will receive your money directly into your enrolled bank account.
To request money using Zelle® with a small business account, click “Send Money with Zelle®,” select “Request,” enter the individual’s email address or U.S. mobile number, confirm the recipient is correct and tap “Request.”
If your customer is using Zelle® through their banking app, they’ll be able to pay you with Zelle®. You’ll receive a payment notification once your customer has sent you money in response to your request. If your customer is enrolled in the Zelle® app, they will not be able to send you money with Zelle®, and you should arrange for a different payment method.
There are a few ways you can encourage your customers to pay you with Zelle®.
- Tell customers verbally that you accept payments with Zelle®, and that they can easily send you money right from their banking app.
- Include it on an invoice. We recommend adding “I accept payments with Zelle®” or “Pay me with Zelle®”.
- Use Zelle® to request money from your customers (which will send them a notification telling them you’ve requested payment with Zelle®).2
- Download Zelle® marketing assets for free from zellepay.com and add them to your website, social media and more!

Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority for Spring Bank. When you use Zelle® within our online banking or mobile app, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your Spring Bank account safe.
Whether you use Zelle® with a business account or a consumer account, Zelle® uses the same network to initiate payments to small businesses and consumers. Consumers who are already enrolled with Zelle® through their banking app don’t need to do anything different to send money to a small business. The experience is slightly different for small businesses, as small businesses cannot currently send payments to or receive payments from consumers who are only enrolled in the Zelle® app.1

To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient hasn’t yet enrolled, you can go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel, and then select “Cancel This Payment.” If you do not see this option available, please contact our customer support team at 718-879-5000 for assistance with canceling the pending payment.
If you send money to a small business or consumer that has already enrolled with Zelle® through their bank or credit union’s mobile app, 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 know and trust, and always ensure you’ve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.
If you try to send money to a consumer who is enrolled in the Zelle® app, the payment won’t go through and a message will pop up to let you know the payment cannot be completed. With small business accounts, Zelle® does not currently support sending or receiving money to users enrolled in the Zelle® app.
If you sent money to the wrong person, please immediately call our customer support team at 718-879-5000 so we can help you.
