Zelle

Knowing which of your friends, family and those you trust are enrolled with Zelle® is simple, we’ve tagged your contacts that are already using Zelle® with a “Z” logo.

Don’t see the “Z” on a contact? Not a problem! You can still send them money with Zelle®, they’ll just need to enroll with Zelle® to receive the money.

We’d all like to think that we’d be able to spot a scam. However, scams and fraud (especially related to finances) can affect anyone, no matter how savvy we think we are.

Zelle® is not available for Blaze business accounts and currently business owners are prevented from enrolling with Zelle® using a consumer account. We apologize for the inconvenience and will be working to make this available to business owners in the future.

No, Zelle® payments cannot be reversed.

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 you do not see this option available, please contact our Member Experience Center at 651.215.3500 for assistance with canceling the pending 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 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 immediately call our Member Experience Center at 651.215.3500 to determine what options are available.

Your email address or U.S. mobile phone number may already be enrolled with Zelle® at another bank or credit union. Call our Member Experience Center at 651.215.3500 and ask them to move your email address or U.S. mobile phone number to your financial institution so you can use it for Zelle®.

Once a staff member moves your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, it will be connected to your account so you can start sending and receiving money with Zelle® through your Blaze CU Mobile app and Blaze Digital Banking. Please call our Member Experience Center at 651.215.3500 for help.

When you enroll with Zelle® through Blaze Digital Banking or the Blaze CU Mobile app, your name, the name of your financial institution, and the email address or U.S. mobile number you enrolled is shared with Zelle® (no sensitive account details are shared – those stay with Blaze Credit Union). 

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 Blaze Credit Union of the incoming payment. Blaze Credit Union then directs the payment into your account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private.

The option to Send Money with Zelle® will not appear under the Transfer & Pay navigation menu if you are using the web browser on your mobile device to access your accounts. You must be using our Blaze CU Mobile app.

As of March  31, 2025, all users must be enrolled through one of the more than 2,200 banks and credit unions that offer Zelle® in order to send and receive money. The list of participating financial institutions is always growing. You can find the updated  list of participating banks and credit unions live with Zelle® at Zellepay.com. If their bank or credit union is not listed, we recommend you use another payment method at this time.

Money sent with Zelle® is typically available to an enrolled recipient within minutes.

If you send money to someone who isn't enrolled with Zelle®, they will receive a notification prompting them to enroll. After enrollment, the money will be available directly in your recipient's account, typically within minutes.

If your payment is pending, we recommend confirming that the person you sent money to has enrolled with Zelle® and that you entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

If you're waiting to receive money, you should check to see if you've received a payment notification via email or text message. If you haven't received a payment notification, we recommend following up with the sender to confirm they entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

Neither Blaze Credit Union 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. Only send money to people and small businesses you trust and always ensure you’ve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.

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 from your Blaze CU Mobile app using just their 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.
