Zelle^® is a fast and easy way to send money directly between bank accounts in the U.S., typically within minutes¹. With just an email address or U.S. mobile phone number, you can send money to people you trust, regardless of where they bank¹.

Money sent with Zelle^® is typically available to an enrolled recipient within minutes¹.

If you send money to someone who isn't enrolled with Zelle^®, they will receive a notification prompting them to enroll. After enrollment, the money will be sent directly to your recipient's account, typically within minutes¹.

If your payment is pending, we recommend confirming that the person you sent money to has enrolled with Zelle^® and that you entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

If you're waiting to receive money, you should check to see if you've received a payment notification via email or text message. If you haven't received a payment notification, we recommend following up with the sender to confirm they entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

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^® for these types of transactions.

These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don't know is high risk). Neither Cadence Bank nor Zelle^® offers a protection program for any authorized 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.

If you do not see this option available, please contact our customer support team at Cadence for assistance with cancelling the pending payment.

If you sent money to the wrong person, we recommend contacting the recipient and requesting the money back. If you aren't able to get your money back, please contact Cadence Bank's customer service center at (888) 797-7711 so that we can assist you.
