Whether you’re splitting the cost of dinner with friends, contributing to a group gift, or paying a family member back for concert tickets, sending money has never been easier. With Zelle®, available through Chelsea Groton Bank, you can send and receive money directly from your Chelsea Groton online or mobile banking account, without the need for cash, checks, or additional apps.
What is Zelle®?
Zelle® is a digital payment service that allows you to send and receive money with friends, family, and other people you know and trust. Funds are sent directly between eligible bank accounts, and in most cases, enrolled recipients receive money within minutes.
Since Zelle® is integrated into Chelsea Groton Bank’s online and mobile banking experience, there’s no need to download another payment app. Once enrolled, you can manage payments alongside your everyday banking.
Smart Habits for Safe Sending
Like any digital payment service, it’s important to use Zelle® wisely. Chelsea Groton Bank recommends three key practices:
Know: Only use Zelle® to send money to friends, family, and others you trust.
Verify: Double-check the recipient’s name, email address, and/or U.S. mobile number before sending money.
Be Aware: If a payment request seems suspicious or too good to be true, take a step back and investigate before completing the transaction.
Remember, Zelle® is intended for payments between trusted individuals, not for purchases from unfamiliar sellers.
