Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use Zelle?

You can send, request or receive money with Zelle®.
  • To get started, log in to online banking or our mobile banking app and navigate to the “Zelle®”. To enroll, accept terms and conditions, tell us your email address or U.S. mobile number and deposit account and then you will receive a one-time verification code. Enter it and you’re ready to start sending and receiving with Zelle®. To send money using Zelle®, simply add a trusted recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile phone number, enter 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 if they are already enrolled with Zelle®.
  • To request money using Zelle®, choose “Request,” select the individual from whom you’d like to request money, enter the amount you’d like to request, 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 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 account, typically within minutes.
  • If someone sent you money with Zelle® and you have not yet enrolled with Zelle®, follow these steps: Click on the link provided in the payment notification you received via email or text message. Select Lake Ridge Bank. 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 to ensure you receive your money.

Are there any fees to send money using Zelle®?

No, Lake Ridge Bank does not charge any fees to use Zelle®. Your mobile carrier’s messaging and data rates may apply.

Who can I send money to with Zelle?

Zelle® is a great way to send money to family, friends and people you are familiar with such as your personal trainer, babysitter or neighbor.1 Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person’s bank account within minutes, 1 Zelle® should only be used to send money to friends, family and others you trust. If you don’t know the person or aren’t sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site), you should not use Zelle®. These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don’t know is high risk).

Can I use Zelle internationally?

No. Both you and the person you’re sending money to must have U.S.-based bank accounts.

How do I receive money that someone sent me with Zelle?

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.
