How do I send money with Zelle?

Follow these steps to send money with Zelle:

  1. Click on the Zelle® widget – sign on to First Entertainment Digital Banking, then click on the Zelle® Widget. If you’re not yet enrolled, you’ll be asked to accept our terms and conditions and enroll an e-mail address or U.S. mobile number, and link a deposit account so you can receive money with Zelle®.
  2. Add or select recipient – As of March 31, 2025, all users must be enrolled through one of the more than 2,200 banks and credit unions that offer Zelle® in order to send and receive money. You can find a full list of participating banks and credit unions live with Zelle® at Zellepay.com. If their bank or credit union is not listed, we recommend you use another payment method at this time.
      To add a recipient, select the “ + ” icon at the upper right of your screen and enter your recipient’s information. If your recipient is already in your list of recipients, select their name (on a smartphone) or the arrow to the right of their name (on a desktop or tablet) to continue.
  3. Enter amount and select your funding account – choose an account to fund your payment. Next, select Continue.
  4. Review and send – carefully review the details of your payment before you send it. If it’s the first time you’ve sent money to this recipient, we will send you an access code to help verify your identity. If your recipient’s U.S. mobile phone number or e-mail address is enrolled with Zelle®, we’ll display the name of the recipient on record before you continue (in some cases, this may only be a first name). After you send your payment, you’ll get a confirmation with the details of your payment.
  5. Recipient is notified – your recipient will be notified by e-mail or text message with the details of your payment and instructions on how to enroll to receive the money with Zelle® if they have not yet enrolled. If they have already enrolled, the payment will be deposited to their account, typically within minutes.
