There is no fee for PNC customers using Zelle® to send or receive money.[2] If the person to whom you are sending money does not bank with PNC, we recommend they confirm with their bank or credit union that there are no additional fees.
What if the person I’m sending money to does not bank with PNC?
Zelle® is available to almost anyone with a valid U.S. checking account. If the person to whom you are sending money does not bank with PNC, that person can enroll with Zelle® through a participating financial institution. Additional information is available at www.Zellepay.com
Can I cancel a payment?
You can only cancel a payment if the person you sent money to is not enrolled with Zelle®. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient has not yet enrolled, you can go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel, and then select “Cancel This Payment.”
If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle®, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why it’s important to only send money to people you know and trust, and always make sure you use the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.
