If you prefer using your computer or web browser:

  2. Navigate to the Bank of America Website: Type www.bankofamerica.com into your browser's address bar and press Enter.
  3. Log In: On the Bank of America homepage, look for the "Log In" button, usually located in the top right corner. Click it and enter your Online ID and Passcode. Then, click "Log In."
    • Security Note: Always make sure you're on the official Bank of America website by checking the URL in your browser. Avoid logging in from suspicious links.

Once you're securely logged in, you need to find the Zelle service within your banking interface.

  1. Tap 'Pay & Transfer': On the main dashboard or navigation menu of the app, you'll typically see an option like "Pay & Transfer". Tap on this.
  2. Select 'Zelle®': Within the 'Pay & Transfer' section, you should find a dedicated option for "Zelle®". Tap it.

Sub-heading: In Online Banking (Website)

  1. Click 'Pay & Transfer': On the main navigation bar or menu of your online banking portal, you'll find a tab or link labeled "Pay & Transfer". Click on it.
  2. Select 'Send & Request Money with Zelle®': From the dropdown or subsequent page, choose the option that specifically mentions "Send & Request Money with Zelle®".

Step 4: Viewing Your Zelle Activity History

Now you're just one step away from seeing your Zelle transactions!

This step is consistent across both platforms.

  1. Locate the 'Activity' Tab/Section: Once you're in the Zelle section, you'll see different tabs or options like "Send Money," "Request Money," and critically, "Activity". Click or tap on "Activity."
  2. Browse Your Transactions: The "Activity" section will display your recent Zelle transactions. You'll typically see:
    • Pending payments: Transactions that are still being processed.
    • Scheduled payments: Payments set up for a future date.
    • Past payments: Completed transactions.

  • Filtering and Searching: Most interfaces will allow you to filter your activity by date range or search for specific transactions using a recipient's name or amount. Look for a magnifying glass icon or a "Search" bar.
  • Transaction Details: To view more details about a specific transaction (like the memo or recipient's information), simply tap or click on that particular entry in the activity list.
  • Older Transactions: While the immediate Zelle activity view might show a recent window (e.g., the last 90 days), your complete Zelle transaction history is tied to your bank account statements. For transactions older than what Zelle's activity tab shows, you'll need to refer to your Bank of America statements.

Step 5: Accessing Older Zelle Transactions (Via Bank Statements)

If you need Zelle transaction history that goes beyond the typical digital Zelle activity view (which might be limited to a few months), you'll need to access your bank statements. Zelle transactions are part of your regular account activity.

    • Online Banking: On the main navigation, look for "Statements & Documents" or a similar option.

  3. View/Download Statements: You can typically view your statements as a PDF online, or download them for your records. Bank of America often provides statements going back several years (often up to 7 years).
  4. Review Your Statements: Carefully review the transactions listed on your bank statements. Zelle payments will appear as debits or credits, usually with a description indicating "Zelle Payment" and the recipient/sender's name or a related identifier.
