I want to use Zelle® to send and receive money with friends from my personal bank account, as well as to receive payments for my small business from my business account. Are there any differences in the experience?

Answer: Whether you use Zelle® with a business account or a consumer account, Zelle® uses the same network to initiate payments to small businesses and consumers. Consumers who are already enrolled with Zelle® through their mobile banking app don’t need to do anything different to send money to a small business – they use the existing Zelle® experience they already know and trust within their bank’s mobile app. However, small businesses^ cannot receive payments from people using the standalone Zelle® app.

Answer: To get started, log in to Huntington Bank’s mobile app. To enroll a small business bank account with Zelle®, you must use a different U.S. mobile number or email address than the one you used to enroll your personal bank account with Zelle®. For example, you could connect your email address to your personal checking account, and a U.S. mobile phone number to your small business bank account.

If I use Zelle® for my small business, will Zelle® integrate with accounting software?

Answer: No, Zelle® does not integrate directly with accounting software at this time. However, since Zelle® is connected to your bank account, you are able to see all Zelle® transactions in your online banking transaction records. If your bank account transactions feed into accounting software, you will see the Zelle® transactions.

How do I know if my small business is eligible to use Zelle®?

Answer: To determine whether your small business is eligible to use Zelle®, log in to your Huntington Mobile app and look for Zelle®. If you are able to enroll with Zelle® using your small business checking account, then you are eligible to use Zelle®.
