Zelle® is replacing cash and checks for sending gifts for birthdays to distributing funds to those in need, changing how money moves safely for millions of consumers,” said Paul Finch, CEO at the bank-owned Early Warning Services - the network operator behind Zelle. “In partnership with each of our participating financial institutions, we are educating consumers while innovating to deliver safe and secure payments.”

Zelle® enables payments from one bank account to another, typically within minutes when both consumers are enrolled, using only an e-mail address or a U.S. mobile phone number.
