If your bank is not listed on Zelle, you can still use the service! Download the Zelle app, register using a debit card linked to a U.S. bank, and follow the setup instructions. Ensure your card is a Visa or Mastercard and is linked to a bank account. This allows you to send and receive money, even if your bank itself isn't directly partnered with Zelle.
