To share your Zelle link, you share the U.S. mobile number or email address you enrolled with Zelle, since Zelle does not provide a personal URL link for standard accounts. You can also share your Zelle QR code, which acts as a scannable link, directly from your banking app.
How do I share my Zelle link?
Zelle personal accounts use your enrolled email or phone number to receive money, not a traditional web link. The closest equivalent to a shareable link is a Zelle QR code, which you can find in your bank’s app. You can also simply give your enrolled contact information to the sender, but if you use Zelle with multiple accounts make sure you specify which one to avoid misdirected payments. Both methods require the other person to be enrolled in Zelle through their own bank or credit union, and you can set up Zelle with Suncoast credit union if that’s your financial institution.
What is Zelle?
Zelle is a digital payment platform integrated directly into many U.S. bank and credit union apps. It allows you to send and receive money directly from your bank account to another enrolled user’s account. Transactions are typically fast, with funds often available within minutes. Both the sender and the recipient must be enrolled in Zelle through a participating financial institution to use the service.
The best way to share your Zelle info: use a QR code
A Zelle QR code is a scannable image that contains your payment information. To find and share yours:
- Open Zelle within your banking app.
- Tap the QR code icon, which is often located on the “Select Recipient” screen.
- Open the “My Code” tab to view your personal QR code.
- Use the share or print icons to send the QR code via text, email, or another app.
This method is especially useful if you want to send someone your Zelle info quickly without typing out your email or phone number. Keep in mind that Zelle QR codes may not be available at all financial institutions.
Share your enrolled email or phone number
The primary way to receive money is to give the sender the specific U.S. mobile number or email address you used when you enrolled in Zelle. To do this safely, share it only with people you trust, and avoid posting it publicly on social media. The sender will enter your information in their own Zelle app to initiate the transfer. This method works for anyone who needs to find your Zelle ID, your enrolled phone or email is your Zelle ID.
A note for small business accounts
If you have an eligible small business account, you may be able to create a Zelle Tag, which functions like a personalized link for receiving payments. This Tag works similarly to an email address or U.S. mobile number. Contact your bank to see if this feature is available for your account and how to set it up. This can help you find your Zelle name in a more branded way for your business.
Frequently asked questions about sharing Zelle info
Is it safe to share my Zelle info?
Sharing your enrolled email or phone number with trusted individuals is generally safe. However, neither Zelle nor participating banks offer purchase protection for payments made with Zelle, so only share your info with people you know and trust.
Can I share my Zelle info on social media?
It is not recommended to post your enrolled email or phone number publicly on social media, as this could lead to unwanted payment requests or scams. Sharing your QR code with trusted contacts via private message is a safer option.

Zelle is available only within participating U.S. bank and credit union apps. Both you and the sender must use a supported financial institution. The platform does not work with standalone apps outside of these banking systems.
