What types of payments can I make with Zelle^®?

Zelle^® is a great way to send money to family, friends and people you are familiar with such as your personal trainer, babysitter or neighbor.²

Neither Oostburg State Bank nor Zelle^® offers a protection program for any authorized 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.

How do I get started?

It's easy — Zelle^® is already available within Oostburg State Bank's mobile banking app and online banking within Bill Pay! Check our app or sign in online and follow a few simple steps to enroll with Zelle^® today.

What if I want to send money to someone whose financial institution doesn't offer Zelle^®?

You can find a full list of participating banks and credit unions live with Zelle^® here.

If your recipient's financial institution isn't on the list, don't worry! The list of participating financial institutions is always growing, and your recipient can still use Zelle^® by downloading the Zelle^® app for Android and iOS.

To enroll with the Zelle^® app, your recipient will enter their basic contact information, an email address and U.S. mobile number and a Visa^® or Mastercard^® debit card with a U.S.-based account (does not include U.S. territories). Zelle^® does not accept debit cards associated with international deposit accounts or any credit cards.

How does Zelle^®work?

When you enroll with Zelle^® through your online banking Bill Pay account or mobile banking app, your name, the name of your Financial Institution, and the email address or U.S. mobile number you enrolled is shared with Zelle^® (no sensitive account details are shared – those stay with Oostburg State Bank).

When someone sends money to your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number, Zelle^® looks up the email address or mobile number in its "directory" and notifies Oostburg State Bank of the incoming payment. Oostburg State Bank then directs the payment into your bank account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private.

Can I use Zelle^®Internationally?

In order to use Zelle^®, the sender's and recipient's bank accounts must be based in the U.S.

Can I cancel a payment?

You can only cancel a payment if the person 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 the person you sent money to 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 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, we recommend contacting the recipient and requesting the money back. If you aren't able to get your money back, please call our customer service team at 920-564-2336 so we can help you.

Scheduled or recurring payments sent directly to your recipient’s account number (instead of an email address or mobile number) are made available by Oostburg State Bank but are a separate service from Zelle^® and can take one to three business days to process.

You can cancel a payment that is scheduled in advance if the money has not already been deducted from your account.

How long does it take to receive money with Zelle^®?

Money sent with Zelle^® is typically available to an enrolled recipient within minutes.³

If you send money to someone who isn't enrolled with Zelle^®, they will receive a notification prompting them to enroll. After enrollment, the money will be available directly in your recipient's account, typically within minutes.³

If your payment is pending, we recommend confirming that the person you sent money to has enrolled with Zelle^® and that you entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

If you're waiting to receive money, you should check to see if you've received a payment notification via email or text message. If you haven't received a payment notification, we recommend following up with the sender to confirm they entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

Still having trouble? Please contact our customer support team at 920-564-2336.

Will the person I send money to be notified?

Yes! They will receive a notification via email or text message.

Is my information secure?

Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority for Oostburg State Bank. When you use Zelle^® within our mobile app or online banking, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your bank account safe.

I'm unsure about using Zelle^®to pay someone I don't know. What should I do?

If you don't know the person, or aren't sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site), you should not use Zelle^® for these types of transactions.

These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don't know is high risk). Neither Oostburg State Bank nor Zelle^® offers a protection program for any authorized 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.

What if I get an error message when I try to enroll an email address or U.S. mobile number?

Your email address or U.S. mobile phone number may already be enrolled with Zelle^® at another bank or credit union. Call our customer support team at 920-564-2336 and ask them to move your email address or U.S. mobile phone number to your financial institution so you can use it for Zelle^®.

Once customer support moves your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, it will be connected to your bank account so you can start sending and receiving money with Zelle^® through your Oostburg State Bank banking app and online banking. Please call our customer support team at 920-564-2336 for help.
