  HCB and Zelle do not offer a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle – for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.
   
  
• Are there any fees to send money using Zelle?
  Huron Community Bank does not charge any fees to use Zelle⁴.
   
  
• How do I get started?
  It's easy — Zelle is already available within HCB's mobile banking app! Check our app and follow a few simple steps to enroll with Zelle today.
   
  
• What if I want to send money to someone whose bank doesn't offer Zelle?
  You can find a full list of participating banks and credit unions live with Zelle here.
   
  If your recipient's bank isn't on the list, don't worry! The list of participating financial institutions is always growing, and your recipient can still use Zelle by downloading the Zelle app for Android and iOS.
   
  To enroll with the Zelle app, your recipient will enter their basic contact information, an email address and U.S. mobile number, and a Visa® or Mastercard® debit card with a U.S. based account (does not include U.S. territories). Zelle does not accept debit cards associated with international deposit accounts or any credit cards.
   
  
• How does Zelle work?
  When you enroll with Zelle through the HCB app, your name, the name of your bank, and the email address or U.S. mobile number you enrolled is shared with Zelle (no sensitive account details are shared – those stay with Huron Community Bank). When someone sends money to your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number, Zelle looks up the email address or mobile number in its "directory" and notifies Huron Community Bank of the incoming payment. Huron Community Bank then directs the payment into your bank account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private.
   
  
• Can I use Zelle internationally?
  In order to use Zelle, the sender and recipient's bank accounts must be based in the U.S.
   
  
• Can I cancel a payment?
  If your recipient has not yet enrolled with Zelle, the payment will remain pending and the money will not move from your account. If the recipient does not enroll within 14 days, the payment will expire, and the transaction will need to be made again.
   
  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 trust, and always ensure you've used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.
   
  If you sent money to the wrong person, we recommend contacting the recipient and requesting the money back. If you aren't able to get your money back, please call us at (888) 226-5422 so we can help you.
   
  
• How long does it take to receive money with Zelle?
  Money sent with Zelle is typically available to an enrolled recipient within minutes.
   
  If you send money to someone who isn't enrolled with Zelle, they will receive a notification prompting them to enroll. After enrollment, the money will move directly to your recipient's account, typically within minutes¹.
   
  If your payment is pending, we recommend confirming that the person you sent money to has enrolled with Zelle and that you entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.
   
  If you're waiting to receive money, you should check to see if you've received a payment notification via email or text message. If you haven't received a payment notification, we recommend following up with the sender to confirm they entered the correct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

• Will the person I send money to be notified?
  Yes! They will receive a notification via email or text message.
   
  
• Is my information secure?
  Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority for Huron Community Bank. When you use Zelle within our mobile app, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your bank account safe.
   
  
• I'm unsure about using Zelle to pay someone I don't know. What should I do?
  If you don't know the person, or aren't sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site), you should not use Zelle for these types of transactions.
   
  These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don't know is high risk). HCB and Zelle do not offer a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle – for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.
   
  
• What if I get an error message when I try to enroll an email address or U.S. mobile number?
  Your email address or U.S. mobile phone number may already be enrolled with Zelle at another bank or credit union. Call our customer support team and ask them to move your email address or U.S. mobile phone number to Huron Community Bank so you can use it for Zelle.
   
  Once customer support moves your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, it will be connected to your Huron Community Bank account so you can start sending and receiving money with Zelle through the HCB mobile banking app. Please call Huron Community Bank customer support toll-free at (866) 482-6929 for help.
   
  
• I received an email saying I can’t use the Zelle app anymore. Why can't I continue using the Zelle app?
  The Zelle app will soon only be available to users whose banks and credit unions do not offer Zelle directly to their customers. Because Huron Community Bank offers Zelle, you can use it directly through the Huron Community Bank mobile banking app to send and receive money.
   
  
• What should I do now so I can continue using Zelle?
  Just start using Zelle in the Huron Community Bank mobile banking app! To get started, log into Huron Community Bank mobile app, navigate to "Send Money with Zelle^®". Accept terms and conditions, enter your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, receive a one-time verification code, enter it, and you're ready to start sending and receiving with Zelle.
   
  
• What happens if I don't do anything?
  You'll no longer be able to use the Zelle app. To continue using Zelle, you'll need to enroll through the Huron Community Bank app.
   
  
• What happens to my pending payments?
  Any pending payments and requests you've sent will be cancelled. But don't worry, once you’ve enrolled with Zelle through the Huron Community Bank app, you can start sending and receiving money again.
   
  
• My friend's bank offers Zelle, but she can still use the Zelle app. Why?
  Banks and credit unions across the county are phasing-in these changes. The Zelle app will soon only be available to users whose banks and credit unions do not offer it directly to their customers through their banking app. If your friend's bank offers it, but she can still use the Zelle app today, she will likely receive a notice in the future saying that she will need to enroll with Zelle through her financial institution.
   
  
• Someone requested money from me, and I'm currently enrolled in the Zelle app. The app keeps telling me to go to my bank or credit union. How can I respond to my friend's request for money?
  Follow the prompt in the Zelle app, and enroll with Zelle through the Huron Community Bank app. Once you're enrolled with Zelle through Huron Community Bank contact your friend and have them resend you a request. Or, if you already know the amount of money your friend is requesting, you can simply send the money with Zelle through the Huron Community Bank app after you confirm their correct email or U.S. mobile number tied to the bank account they have enrolled with Zelle.
   
  Note: When you are no longer able to use the Zelle app, any pending payment request will be cancelled.
