If your customers use Zelle^® within their financial institution’s banking app, they can send payments directly to your Ives Bank account with just your email address or U.S. mobile number.

Eligible small business accounts can send, receive, or request money with Zelle^®. To get started, log into Ives Bank Electronic banking from your desktop or mobile app, select “payments” and then “Send money with Zelle^®.” Enter your email address or U.S. mobile number, receive a one-time verification code, enter it, accept the terms and conditions, and you’re ready to start sending and receiving money with Zelle^®.

To receive money using Zelle^® with a small business account, share your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number with your customers and ask them to send you payment with Zelle^® right from their banking app. No need to share any sensitive account details.

No, Ives Bank does not charge any fees to use Zelle^® with a small business account.

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

Neither Ives Bank 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.

No, Zelle^® payments cannot be reversed.

You can only cancel a payment if the small business or consumer 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 customer support team at (844) 723.2265 for assistance with canceling the pending payment.

If you send money to a small business or consumer that 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 customer support team at (844) 723.2265 to determine what options are available.

There are a few ways you can encourage your customers to pay you with Zelle^®.

• Tell customers verbally that you accept payments with Zelle^®, and that they can easily send you money right from their banking app.
• Include it on an invoice. We recommend adding “I accept payments with Zelle^®” or “Pay me with Zelle^®”.
• Use Zelle to request money from your customers (which will send them a notification telling them you’ve requested payment with Zelle^®).²

No, Zelle^® does not integrate directly with accounting software at this time. However, since Zelle^® is connected to your bank account, you are able to see all Zelle^® transactions in your online banking transaction records. If your bank account transactions feed into accounting software (Quicken or QuickBooks), you will see the Zelle^® transactions.

The amount of money you can send, as well as the frequency, is set by each participating financial institution. To determine Ives Bank send limits, call our customer service at (844) 723.2265.

At Ives Bank, there are no limits to the amount of money you can receive with Zelle^®. However, remember that the person sending you money will most likely have limits set by their own financial institution on the amount of money they can send you.
