What You'll Learn
Bank of Hawaii offers Zelle
Zelle® is a fast and convenient way to send money to friends, family, and people you know, such as your personal trainer or babysitter. It is important to note that Zelle® should not be used to send money to people you don't know, as there is no purchase protection. When using Zelle®, money is sent directly from your Bank of Hawaii funding account to the recipient's bank account, and transactions typically occur within minutes.
To send money using Zelle®, customers can select a contact from their mobile device or add the recipient's email address or US mobile number. The amount to be sent can also be specified, along with an optional note. It is recommended that users only send money to recipients who are already enrolled with Zelle® to ensure the fastest transaction time. In some cases, payments may be delayed for protection if fraudulent activity is suspected.
There are no fees charged by Bank of Hawaii for using Zelle® in their mobile app. However, standard mobile carrier messaging and data rates may still apply. While there are no limits to the amount of money that can be received through Zelle®, sending limits are determined by each financial institution. Therefore, customers should refer to the Bank of Hawaii's terms of use for more information on sending limits.
