Only one financial institution may be connected to your email address or U.S. mobile phone number. There are two options to enroll your ESL accounts for use with Zelle®:

Option 1
If your email address is already being used to send and receive money with Zelle® at another financial institution, you may enroll with Zelle® at ESL using your U.S. mobile phone number, or vice versa. This can be done through your ‘Settings’ in Zelle.®

Option 2
If you’d like to use your email address or U.S. mobile phone number with ESL and discontinue use with the current financial institution, this can be done through your ‘Settings’ in Zelle.® Please note, you may need to login to your other financial institution first to unenroll the email address or U.S. mobile phone number.
