Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS ZELLE®?

Zelle® is a fast, safe and easy way to send money directly between almost any bank accounts in the U.S., typically within minutes.1 With just an email address or U.S. mobile phone number, you can send money to people you trust, regardless of where they bank.1

HOW DO I USE ZELLE®?

You can send, request, or receive money with Zelle®. To get started, log into the Pyramid Federal Credit Union mobile app or online banking. In the main menu, select “Send Money with Zelle®”.

To send money using Zelle®, simply select someone from your mobile device’s contacts (or add a trusted recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile number), add the amount you’d like to send and an optional note, review, then hit “Send.” The recipient will receive an email or text message notification via the method they used to enroll with Zelle®. 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 Pyramid Federal Credit Union account, typically within minutes.

If someone sent you money with Zelle® and 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 message2.

  2. Select Pyramid Federal Credit Union.

  3. Follow the instructions provided on the page to enroll and receive your money. 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 money1.

WHAT IF I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE WHEN I TRY TO ENROLL AND EMAIL ADDRESS OR U.S. MOBILE NUMBER?

Your email address or U.S. mobile number may already be enrolled with Zelle® at another bank or credit union. Call our customer support team and ask them to move your email address or U.S. mobile number to Pyramid Federal Credit Union so you can use it for Zelle®.

Once customer support moves your email address or U.S. mobile number, it will be connected to your Pyramid Federal Credit Union account so you can start sending and receiving money with Zelle® through the Pyramid Federal Credit Union mobile app. Please call Pyramid Federal Credit Union customer support at 520-795-7950 for help.

WHO CAN I SEND MONEY TO WITH ZELLE®?

Zelle® is a great way to send money to friends, family and people you are familiar with such as your babysitter, pet sitter or neighbor¹.

Since money is sent directly from your Pyramid Federal Credit Union account to another person’s bank account within minutes¹, Zelle® should only be used to send money to people 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).

Neither Pyramid Federal Credit Union, nor Zelle®, offers a protection program for any authorized 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.

ARE THERE ANY FEES TO SEND MONEY USING ZELLE®?

No, Pyramid Federal Union does not charge any fees to use Zelle® in the Pyramid Federal Credit Union mobile app.

Your mobile carrier’s messaging and data rates may apply.

CAN I CANCEL A PAYMENT?

You can only cancel a payment if the person you sent money to hasn't yet enrolled with Zelle®. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient hasn't yet enrolled, you can go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel and then select "Cancel This Payment."

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle®, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why it's important to only send money to people you trust, and always ensure you've used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.

If you sent money to the wrong person, we recommend contacting the recipient and requesting the money back.

WHAT IF I WANT TO SEND MONEY TO SOMEONE WHOSE BANK OR CREDIT UNION DOESN’T OFFER ZELLE®?

You can view a full list of participating banks and credit unions live with Zelle®.

If your recipient’s bank or credit union isn’t on the list, don’t worry! The list of participating financial institutions is always growing, and your recipient can still use Zelle® by downloading the Zelle® app for Android and iOS.

To enroll with the Zelle® app, your recipient will enter their basic contact information, an email address and U.S. mobile number, and a Visa® or Mastercard® debit card with a U.S. based account (does not include U.S. territories). Zelle® does not accept debit cards associated with international deposit accounts or any credit cards.

CAN I USE ZELLE® INTERNATIONALLY?

In order to use Zelle®, the sender and recipient’s bank accounts must be based in the U.S.

IS MY INFORMATION SECURE?

Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority. When you use Zelle® within the Pyramid Federal Credit Union mobile app, your information is protected to the same standards we use to keep your account safe.

CAN I PAY A SMALL BUSINESS WITH ZELLE®?

Some small businesses are able to receive payments with Zelle®. Ask your favorite small business if they accept payments with Zelle®.

Neither Pyramid Federal Credit Union, nor Zelle®, offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle®, so you should only send money to people (and small businesses) you trust. Also, always ensure you’ve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.
