How does Zelle® work?

When you enroll with Zelle® through our CU SoCal app, we share your name, the email address or U.S. mobile number you enrolled with, and our name, CU SoCal, with Zelle®.

When someone sends money to your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number, Zelle® looks up the email address or mobile number in its “directory” and notifies CU SoCal of the incoming payment. CU SoCal then directs the payment into your account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private.
