How to Use Zelle

What is Zelle and why is the garden using it? Zelle is a widely used, secure mobile banking app to send money between bank accounts. The garden is using Zelle because the fees for Venmo or PayPal are too expensive; Zelle is provided free by our bank. For more information on Zelle, including how to use it and FAQs, see zellepay.com/get-started. 

​

How does it work? 

• Zelle works through a mobile banking app

• If you are already using a mobile banking app with your bank, check the app to see if Zelle is included  – it’s in more than 2,200, so most likely yours.

 

1. Follow the instructions to enroll in Zelle – see your mobile banking app (apps may differ). 

2. From within your mobile banking app, follow instructions to set up a contact for Zelle using the garden email (no phone number needed). See screen shots below. 

3. From within your mobile banking app, follow instructions to send money to the garden via Zelle. If a reason for sending money is requested/optional, indicate your plot number and purpose (e.g., dues, honey).

4. Verify the recipient is the garden and send.
