Hey, Mods

[cwilli26]

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?

Did you not get the option to send it to the email address?

Did you not get the option to send it to the email address?

I just retried it. Upon further inspection it says:

CONTACT INFORMATION (REQUIRED)
Add at least 1 phone number
or email address.
You are limited to 3 of each

So it looks like I could have used zelle if I had read more closely!

ETA: I had to choose the "This is a business" toggle switch to get these choices. The option for persons required a name.

I cannot find a "business" toggle switch on Zelle.

Can someone post screen shot of it?

I want to donate. I just can't figure this out and it can't be that hard.

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.

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.

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?

I am 99.9% sure there are no fees if you do "friends and family"
