Chelsea Groton Bank customers can now access Zelle®, a fast, easy, and secure way to send and receive money through Chelsea Groton’s online and mobile banking platforms, making everyday transactions more convenient than ever.
Why Zelle®?
Zelle® is designed to simplify the way you move money:
- Fast: Transfers typically occur within minutes between enrolled users.*
- Easy: All you need is the recipient’s trusted email address or known U.S. mobile phone number to send money.*
- Secure: Payments are sent directly from your account to theirs, ensuring safe delivery when sent to someone you trust.
Whether you’re splitting a dinner bill, paying rent, or sending a gift, Zelle® makes it seamless.
A Reminder to Stay Safe
While Zelle® offers a secure platform, it is important all Zelle® users always exercise caution:
- Watch for scams: Don’t use Zelle® to pay for purchases from online marketplaces or strangers. Chelsea Groton will never ask you to send money through Zelle® to fix fraud or verify your account.
- Only send to people you trust: Zelle® is intended for friends, family, and others you know personally. Treat Zelle® like cash. Once money is sent, payments cannot be canceled.
- Check the details: Confirm the recipient’s name, mobile number, or email before sending.
Remember, once a payment is sent through Zelle®, it is not reversible. If you’re ever unsure about a request, verify it by contacting the person through a trusted phone number before proceeding.
*Note: A U.S. checking or savings account is required to use Zelle®. Transactions between enrolled consumers typically occur in minutes.
