| How To Set Up Zelle On Truist App |
Step 1: Engage with Your Truist App - The First Click!
Have you already downloaded the Truist Mobile app on your smartphone or tablet? If not, that's your very first move!
- Download the Truist Mobile App:
- For Apple devices: Head to the App Store.
- For Android devices: Go to the Google Play Store.
- Search for "Truist Mobile" and download the official app. Make sure it's the genuine Truist app to ensure your security.
Once downloaded, open the app. You'll need your Truist online banking username and password to log in. If you haven't set up online banking yet, you'll need to do that first on the Truist website or through the app's initial setup process.
Step 2: Navigate to the "Transfer & Pay" Section
Now that you're securely logged into your Truist app, it's time to find the Zelle® enrollment option.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
- Locate the Main Menu: Look for an icon that represents the main menu, usually three horizontal lines (often called a "hamburger menu") or a "More" option. Tap on it.
- Find "Transfer & Pay": Within the main menu, you'll see various options like "Accounts," "Bill Pay," "Mobile Deposits," etc. Look for and select "Transfer & Pay." This is your gateway to moving money.
Step 3: Discover "Send Money with Zelle®"
You're getting closer! Within the "Transfer & Pay" section, you'll find the Zelle® option.
- Select Zelle®: After tapping "Transfer & Pay," you should see an option clearly labeled "Send Money with Zelle®" or simply "Zelle®." Tap on this.
Step 4: Initiating Your Zelle® Enrollment
This is where you officially begin the enrollment process.
- Welcome Screen/Get Started: You'll likely be greeted with a welcome screen for Zelle® or a "Get Started" prompt. Read any information presented carefully, as it will outline how Zelle® works and its security features.
- Review and Accept Terms and Conditions: Like any financial service, Zelle® has its own terms and conditions. You must review and accept these to proceed. Take your time to understand them. These terms often include important information about liability and how to use Zelle® responsibly.
Step 5: Enrolling Your Email Address or U.S. Mobile Number
This is the core of your Zelle® profile. You'll link a contact method to your Truist account.
- Choose Your Enrollment Method: You'll be prompted to enroll either your email address or your U.S. mobile number. You can typically link one or the other to a specific account.
- Important Note: If you've previously enrolled with Zelle® at another financial institution using the same email address or mobile number, you might get an error message. Don't worry! Truist's Zelle® setup will often provide an option to transfer your enrollment to Truist. If prompted, confirm that you wish to transfer it.
- Select Linked Account: You'll need to choose which eligible Truist checking or savings account you want to link to your Zelle® profile for sending and receiving money. Ensure you select the correct account.
- Verification Code: For security, Truist will send a one-time verification code to the email address or U.S. mobile number you've chosen to enroll.
- Check your inbox or text messages.
- Enter the code precisely into the Truist app when prompted. This step confirms that you own the contact method.
Step 6: Confirmation and Readiness!
Congratulations! You're almost there.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
- Confirmation Message: Once you enter the correct verification code, you should receive a confirmation message indicating that your Zelle® enrollment is complete.
- You're Ready to Go! You can now start sending and receiving money with Zelle® directly from your Truist mobile app.
Step 7: Sending Money with Zelle® (Quick Overview)
Now that you're enrolled, let's look at how to actually send money.
- Navigate to Zelle®: From the main menu, go to "Transfer & Pay" > "Send Money with Zelle®."
- Select "Send": You'll see options to Send, Request, or Split money. Choose "Send."
- Choose Recipient:
- You can select a recipient from your "Recent recipients" or "Added recipients" lists.
- You can also select from your Device contacts (you may need to grant the Truist app permission to access your contacts).
- Alternatively, you can manually enter a recipient's U.S. mobile number or email address. Always double-check this information to ensure you're sending money to the correct person!
- Enter Amount and Optional Note: Input the amount you wish to send. You can also add an optional memo to describe the payment.
- Review and Send: Carefully review all the details – recipient, amount, and linked account – before you tap "Send." Once sent, Zelle® payments are typically irreversible, so accuracy is key.
Step 8: Receiving Money with Zelle® (Quick Overview)
Receiving money is even simpler once you're enrolled.
- Share Your Enrolled Information: Just share your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number with the person who wants to send you money.
- Automatic Deposit: If you're already enrolled with Zelle® through Truist, the money will be sent directly to your linked Truist account, typically within minutes. You'll usually receive a notification (email or text) from Truist confirming the incoming payment.

How to deal with Zelle® scams or unauthorized activity?
If you suspect a Zelle® scam or unauthorized activity, immediately contact Truist customer support directly. Do not respond to suspicious texts or calls that ask for Zelle® information or try to trick you into sending money. Remember, Truist will never ask you to send money to yourself or share a one-time passcode over the phone.
How to use Zelle® for business payments?
Zelle® is primarily intended for sending money to friends, family, and other trusted individuals. While some small businesses may accept Zelle® payments, it's generally not recommended for commercial transactions as it lacks purchase protection, similar to cash transactions.
How to handle Zelle® payments if the recipient isn't enrolled?
If you send money to someone who isn't enrolled with Zelle®, they will receive a notification (via the email or mobile number you used) with instructions on how to enroll to receive the money. The payment will remain pending until they enroll.
How to resolve issues if a Zelle® payment is delayed?
Money sent with Zelle® typically arrives in minutes if both parties are enrolled. If a payment is delayed, first confirm that the recipient has enrolled and that you used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number. You can also check the payment status in your Zelle® activity. If issues persist, contact Truist customer support.
