How Does Zelle® Work With Multiple Bank Accounts

[Leon]

Zelle® allows   [[phone]]  users to link multiple bank accounts, but only one account can be active at a time  [[phone]]   for sending or receiving money  [[phone]]  . This feature is useful for people who want to separate personal and business funds or manage multiple accounts. Some banks allow users to  [[phone]]   switch the active account in their app for different transactions.
For example,  [[phone]]   you may choose your checking account for personal transfers and your business   [[phone]]  account for work-related payments.  [[phone]]   Zelle® ensures that only the selected account is used for each transaction, helping users avoid accidental transfers from the wrong account.
Each bank may have its own rules regarding multiple accounts. Some banks limit the number of accounts you can enroll, while others allow multiple accounts but require separate enrollment for each account. Users should check their bank’s policies before linking additional accounts.
Security is also a  [[phone]]   consideration. Linking multiple accounts requires proper verification and authentication  [[phone]]   Zelle® and your bank ensure all account information is encrypted and secure, preventing unauthorized access.
