What is Zelle and Why Should You Use It?
Zelle is a convenient and secure way to send and receive money directly from your bank account. With Zelle, you can instantly transfer funds to friends, family, or even businesses, without the need for cash or checks. It offers a hassle-free solution for splitting bills, paying rent, or simply sending money to loved ones.
Step 1: Verify Your Eligibility
Before setting up Zelle, make sure you meet the eligibility criteria. To use Zelle, you must have an active Woodforest National Bank account and be enrolled in online banking. Additionally, you’ll need a valid email address or mobile number linked to your bank account.
Step 2: Download the Woodforest Mobile Banking App
To access Zelle, you’ll need to have the Woodforest Mobile Banking App installed on your smartphone or tablet. Visit your device’s app store and search for “Woodforest Mobile Banking.” Once downloaded, open the app and log in using your online banking credentials.
Once logged in to the Woodforest Mobile Banking App, locate the navigation menu. From there, select the option that says “Zelle” or “Send Money with Zelle.” This will take you to the Zelle setup page.
Step 4: Link Your Email or Mobile Number
To set up Zelle, you’ll need to link either your email address or mobile number to your Woodforest National Bank account. Enter the required information accurately and double-check for any typos. This ensures that you receive payment notifications and that your money is sent to the correct recipient.
