Avoid payment scams

  • Use Zelle® to pay friends, family and others you trust. Money is sent directly from your bank account to another person's bank account, and can't be canceled if the other person is already enrolled with Zelle®. Because of this, you should only send money to people you personally know and trust. 
  • Know when Zelle®  is a good payment option, and when another payment method is better. Zelle®  can be used to pay many important people in your life, for so many different reasons. However, if you aren't sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site), or you don't know and trust the person you're paying, we recommend you choose a different payment option. Neither Zelle®  nor Dollar Bank offers a protection program for authorized payments made with Zelle®
  • Double check your recipient's info. One of the key benefits of using Zelle®  is the ability to send money directly to another person's bank account in minutes*. That said, it's important you enter your recipient's U.S. mobile number or email address correctly. Always double check your recipient's contact info before you hit "send."

FAQs

Zelle® is a fast and easy way for Dollar Bank customers to send money directly between almost any bank account in the U.S., typically within minutes*. With just an email address or U.S. mobile phone number, you can send money from your Dollar Bank account to people you trust with a bank account in the U.S.

You can send money to friends, family, and others you trust with a bank account in the U.S. Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person's bank account within minutes*, 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. 

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® for these types of transactions. These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don’t know is high risk). Neither Zelle® nor Dollar Bank 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.

 

Zelle® is a great way to send money to family, friends, and people that you are familiar with such as your personal trainer, babysitter or a neighbor*.  Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person's bank account within minutes*, Zelle® should only be used to send money to friends, family, and others you trust. Neither Dollar Bank 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.

To receive money, just share your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile phone number with a friend and ask them to send you money with Zelle®

Once a recipient is added to your Zelle® contact list, you can send or request money from them by selecting the U.S. mobile number or email address listed for the contact.

If you have already enrolled with Zelle®, you do not need to take any further action. The money will move directly into your bank account, typically within minutes*.

  2. Select Dollar Bank

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.

 

When you enroll with Zelle® through Online Banking or the Dollar Bank Mobile App, your name, Dollar Bank's name, and the email address or U.S. mobile number you enrolled is shared with Zelle® (no sensitive account details are shared - those stay with Dollar Bank). When someone sends money to your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number, Zelle® looks up the email address or mobile number in its directory and notifies Dollar Bank of the incoming payment. Dollar Bank then directs the payment into your bank account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private. 

Your U.S. mobile number or email address may already be enrolled with Zelle® at another bank or credit union. You can call us at 1-800-242-2265, Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM and ask us to move your U.S. mobile number or email address to Dollar Bank so you can use it for Zelle®.
