Using Zelle® to send money to friends and family

Written by Magnifi Financial | October 6, 2026

Splitting the bill. Paying your friend back for concert tickets. Sending your college student a little extra spending money. The next time you need to send someone money, consider asking one simple question: Do you have Zelle®?

As a Magnifi Financial Credit Union member, you have access to Zelle® right within the Magnifi Financial Mobile App. When you're sending money to someone you know and trust, there are three good reasons to use it.

 

  It's FREE: Send and receive money without a fee

It’s free to send and receive money with Zelle® from the Magnifi Financial Mobile App.

Plus, there’s no need to download another app. Simply open the Magnifi Financial Mobile App and access Zelle® there.

 It's FAST: Money goes straight into the account

Money goes straight into your recipient's enrolled account and is available to use in minutes.*
There isn't a separate Zelle® balance to transfer afterward, or a fee to access the cash faster.

Zelle® is convenient for everyday moments like chipping in for a group gift, reimbursing a family member for groceries, or paying your neighbor for your portion of a shared expense.

 It's PRIVATE: No need to share account numbers

All you need is an email address or a U.S. mobile number. Your account information and activity stay private.
So, whether your friends and family typically use Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, or another payment service, it may be worth asking:
Do you have Zelle®?

 

Ready to send money with Zelle®?

Open the Magnifi Financial Mobile App, select “Send Money with Zelle®” and enroll with your U.S. mobile number or email address.

When you need to send money to someone you know and trust, Zelle® gives you a free, fast, and private way to send money right from your Magnifi account.
