Is my information secure?

Keeping your money and information secure is a top priority for FCCU. When you use Zelle® directly in digital banking, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your FCCU accounts safe.

{beginAccordion}

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 FCCU account to another person’s bank account within minutes¹, 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 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®. If they do, you can pay them directly in digital banking using just their enrolled email address, U.S. mobile number, or Zelle® tag.

Can I use Zelle® internationally?

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

{endAccordion}

{beginAccordion}

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® through their bank or credit union’s mobile app, 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 know and 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, please contact FCCU at (920) 563-7305 to determine what options are available.
