Money is sent directly from your UNFCU account to your contact’s bank account, typically within minutes.1 Do not use Zelle® if you do not know the recipient or are not sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site). These transactions are potentially high risk — just like sending cash to a person you don’t know is high risk.
Neither UNFCU nor Zelle® offers purchase protection for 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. Payments sent to someone who is already enrolled cannot be canceled. If you sent money to the wrong person, please immediately contact us so we can try to help you.
