Frequently Asked Questions

What if I want to send money to someone whose bank or credit union doesn’t offer Zelle®?

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.

What are scheduled and recurring payments?

We offer you the flexibility to schedule payments to be sent at a later date if you like or even set up recurring payments for things like regularly sending money to your college student. Scheduled or recurring payments sent directly to your recipient’s account number (instead of an email address or mobile number) are made available by Lake Ridge Bank but are a separate service from Zelle® and can take one to three business days to process. You can cancel a payment that is scheduled in advance if the money has not already been deducted from your account.

How do I receive money that someone sent me 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 bank account and will be available 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 Lake Ridge 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.

Does Lake Ridge Bank or Zelle® offer purchase protection?

Neither Lake Ridge Bank nor Zelle® offers purchase protection for 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. Only send money to people and small businesses you trust and always ensure you’ve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.
