  • Select Zelle® from the Payments menu, and then choose Split
  • Enter the total amount you'd like to split
  • Once you've reviewed your information, choose Split

You'll be notified when the money you've requested from each person has been sent.

My email or phone number is linked to an account at another bank.  How do I link it to my Ally Bank Account?

If your phone number or email address is already linked to an account at another bank, you'll still be able to send money from your primary linked account at Ally Bank. However, if someone sends you money, it will go to the other bank. To receive money at Ally Bank, you'll need to transfer your email or phone number to Ally Bank. You can make this change online or in the mobile app.

Online: Go to Payments, select Send Money with Zelle®, and then choose Activity. From there you can transfer your mobile number or email address to Ally Bank.

Mobile app: Go to Settings, select Zelle Settings to transfer your mobile number or email address to Ally Bank.

Can you automate payments with Zelle?

Scheduled and recurring payments are features provided by your financial institution in our online banking and mobile banking app and are not features of Zelle.

Does Wells Fargo Zelle allow recurring payments?

Set up either one-time or recurring payments and have your bills paid automatically. Get email reminders when payments are due or sent. Manage your bill payments in one secure place with only one username and password.
