Keeping your money and information secure is a top priority for Florida West Coast Credit Union. When you use Zelle^® within our mobile app or online banking, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your credit union account secure.

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. ¹

Since money is sent directly from your credit union account to another person’s bank or credit union account within minutes,¹ Zelle^® should only be used to send money to friends, family and others you trust.

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^®. These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don’t know is high risk).

As of March 31, 2025, all users must be enrolled through one of the more than 2,300 banks and credit unions that offer Zelle^® in order to send and receive money. You can find a full list of participating banks and credit unions live with Zelle^® at Zelle.com. If their bank or credit union is not listed, we recommend you use another payment method at this time.

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

No, Zelle^® payments cannot be reversed.

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 you do not see this option available, please contact our support team at 813-643-5572 for assistance with canceling the pending payment.

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle^® through their bank or credit union’s mobile app or online banking, 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 know and 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, please immediately call our support team at 813-643-5572 to determine what options are available.

No, Florida West Coast Credit Union does not charge any fees to use Zelle^®. Your mobile carrier’s messaging and data rates may apply.

The amount of money you can send, as well as the frequency, is set by each participating financial institution. To determine send limits, call our service department at 813-643-5572.

There are no limits to the amount of money you can receive with Zelle^®. However, remember that the person sending you money will most likely have limits set by their own financial institution on the amount of money they can send you.

Please contact our support team at 813-643-5572. Qualifying imposter scams may be eligible for reimbursement.

Neither Florida West Coast Credit Union nor Zelle^® offers purchase protection for 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. Only send money to people and small businesses you trust and always ensure you’ve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.

Sending to a Zelle^® tag is just like sending to a recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile number. Find Zelle^® in your mobile banking app, click “Send,” and from the “Select Recipient” screen, type the recipient’s Zelle^® tag. Then, enter the amount, hit “Send,” and the money is on the way. Make sure to double check that the Zelle^® tag is typed correctly, and when sending money to someone new, it’s always important to confirm the recipient is correct by reviewing the contact name that is displayed before sending money.

At this time, the ability to create a Zelle^® tag is only available to eligible small business account holders. Please confirm with your bank or credit union if you are eligible to create a Zelle^® tag for your small business.
