Keeping your money and information secure is a top priority for M&T 萌妹社区. When you use Zelle within M&T Online 萌妹社区ing or the M&T Mobile App, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your M&T account safe.

Some small businesses are able to receive payments with Zelle. Ask your favorite small business if they accept payments with Zelle. If they do, you can pay them directly from the M&T Mobile App or M&T Online 萌妹社区ing using just their email address or U.S. mobile number.

Neither M&T 萌妹社区 nor Zelle offers purchase protection for payments made with Zelle 鈥 for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for, or the item is not as described or as you expected. Only send money to people and small businesses you trust and always ensure you鈥檝e used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle through their bank or credit union鈥檚 mobile app or online banking, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why it鈥檚 important to only send money to people you know and trust, and always ensure you鈥檝e used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.
