Best Ways to use Zelle
Zelle is a convenient and fast way to send and receive money directly between bank accounts, no matter where you bank. Here are the best ways to use Zelle:
Splitting Costs
Use Zelle to split the bill for meals, tickets, or shared expenses. You can quickly reimburse friends or family without needing cash, right from your Cornerstone mobile banking app.
Managing Shared Expenses
Simplify splitting household expenses like utilities, rent, or groceries with roommates by using Zelle. These payments can be made as needed or even set up as recurring payments so you can set it and forget it.
Avoiding Transaction Fees
Unlike other payment apps, Zelle typically doesn’t charge transaction fees, making it a cost-effective option for transfers. Also, the funds go directly into your bank account instead of to a 3rd party app like Venmo or CashApp, making Zelle safer.
Zelle Tips for Safe Use
- Double-check recipient details: Ensure the email or phone number is correct before sending.
- Avoid scams: Only send money to people you trust. Be cautious with requests from unknown individuals.
- Monitor your account: Enable notifications to track Zelle transactions in real time.
