The company said the change will not impact the vast majority of customers because many already use Zelle through their financial institutions.
If you used Zelle’s standalone app, you’ll need to re-enroll through the mobile banking app of one of the more than 2,200 banks and credit unions that offer Zelle.
“If you’re already using Zelle within your mobile banking app, then there are no changes, and you do not need to take any action,” the company said.
