Hey, Mods

[polly-anna]

My bank supports Zelle, and transactions get sent from within the banking app on my phone; no debit card used. My screen did not look quite like Chuck's, but that might also be the difference between iOS and Android. Anyway, I think I chose Debt Free as the first name and Fanatics as the last name. I did not say it was a business. Worked like a champ.

I had been pronouncing it ZELL-ee, but apparently, it is just Zell. Not sure why they added the e at the end. Anyway, it is a product owned by Bank of America, BB&T (now Truist), Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC Bank, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo. It is likely available within the app for each of these banks. Probably more, too.

short 'gazelle'? meaning FAST electronic transactions?

I sent through zelle from my Chase account, no debit card required. All I had to do was put the email in and it said it was going to Bridgette. Let me know if you get something

I see what you mean. But my screen has literally no place to select business or personal. Here's a copy and paste right off my screen. Under "select to send money" it just lists the 2 relatives I sent money to several years ago and which was quick and easy, but I had their names and email addresses. (I deleted their information out of this email.)

I'm guessing that it is bank specific whether there is a place you can click to choose business or personal and mine just doesn't have it. I've got Wells Fargo.

@textev I got the email address from this post at the top of the forum https://www.debtfreefanatics.com/announcement.php?f=65

email debtfreefanatics@gmail.com

You could use Bridget as the first name and debtfreefanatics as the last name

If my bank does not offer Zelle, is there any way I can contribute??? My bank uses PopMoney.

You can still use Paypal.

[coolmom42]

When I tried Zelle on my US Bank app, it was asking for a phone number, so I went to Paypal. The email said I sent a payment to Joseph Z. Hope that is legit?

Yes.

I don't remember the details but when Bridget set up the Paypal, she was already on one with her hubby and couldn't make another one, or something like that. So his name shows up.

@cwilli26

You sent a payment through Zelle already, can you give details of how you did it?

[cwilli26]

I'm beginning to think different banks or platforms or operating systems or whatever present differently and may have different steps, screens, etc. but I'll walk through what I did.

@cwilli26

You sent a payment through Zelle already, can you give details of how you did it?

1. Launched Schwab app via my iPhone (IOS)
2. Launched Zelle within the Schwab app
3. Select "Send Money"
4. Select "New Contact"
5. Select "Business" radio button (screen shot below)
6. Enter "Debt Free Fanatics" in "Business Name" field
7. Enter "debtfreefanatics@gmail.com" in "E-mail" field
8. Click "Save"
9. Enter donation amount
10. Click "Review"
11. Click "Send Money"

Note: once this is setup, future donations are easily made as the forum will be saved as a "contact".

Hope that helps.

@Uppies thanks for the instructions. I may try that.

Mainly to be sure I still could I went onto Pay Pal to see if I could do it that way and it had stored the name I used before:

DebtFreeFanatics.com

Is that still the right name to use for Pay Pal?

Are there fees for Debt Free Fanatics if I use Pay Pal?
