Questions You May Have About How Zelle® for Your Businesses. Answered.

You can send, request or receive money with Zelle®. To get started, log in to Amerant Online BankingSM or Amerant MobileSM and select “Send Money With Zelle®”. Accept the Terms & Conditions, select or enter your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, receive a one-time verification code, enter it and you’re ready to start sending and receiving with Zelle®.

When you use Zelle® with a small business account, you can send money to other small businesses that bank with a financial institution that offers Zelle® to small businesses. You can also send to consumers who have access to Zelle® through their mobile banking app. At this time, we don’t support sending to (or receiving from) consumers who are only enrolled in the Zelle® app. If the small business or consumer you send money to has already enrolled with Zelle® through their bank’s mobile app, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. 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 when sending money.

You can receive payments from consumers using Zelle®4 through their bank’s mobile app. You can also receive payments from other small businesses if their financial institution offers Zelle® to small businesses. At this time, you’re not able to receive payments from consumers that are only enrolled in the Zelle® app.

The easiest way to find out is to simply ask if they’re enrolled with Zelle®. If it’s a consumer, let them know they can look for Zelle® in their banking app. At this time, only those enrolled with Zelle® through their banking app are able to send and receive money with eligible business accounts.

If it’s a business that doesn’t offer Zelle® and you think it would be great if they did, suggest that they check with their bank to see if Zelle® is available as a fast and easy way for them to send and receive money with other eligible business like yours and their customers!

Not at this time. In order to use Zelle® with your business account, your bank or credit union must currently offer Zelle® for your business account type. Please note that not all banks and credit unions offering Zelle® to consumers offer Zelle® for small businesses. So, contact your bank directly to confirm.

Your financial institution determines this. Please reach out to your bank or credit union directly to find out what specific limits they have for their customers.

It depends. Check with your financial institution to see what fees may apply. Read the updated terms and conditions provided by your financial institution and accept them to use Zelle®.
