Zelle

Peer-to-peer payments

Zelle is a digital payment service that transfers money directly between bank accounts in the United States.

Unlike apps that hold funds in a separate wallet, Zelle moves money through the banking system itself: Just Zelle me the money for dinner.

The service is built into many major bank apps, making it a common way to split bills or pay individuals without cash or checks.
