Send money in minutes with Zelle^®.

Zelle^® is a fast, safe, and easy way to send money directly between almost any bank accounts in the U.S., typically within minutes¹. With just an email address or U.S. mobile phone number, you can send money to people you trust, regardless of where they bank.⁴

State of Hawaii, Guam, and Saipan consumer checking accountholders 18 years of age or older can use Zelle^® to send funds to a bank account in the U.S. Zelle^® is not available to business accountholders or Palau accountholders.

To get started, log into Bank of Hawaii’s Mobile App and accept the Terms and Conditions. Then tap the “+” button, and select “Zelle^®” to get started. Confirm your email address or U.S. mobile phone number to receive a one-time verification code. Once you enter the verification code, you’re ready to start sending and receiving money with Zelle^®.

The send limit is $1,000 per calendar day. For clients of The Private Bank, the send limit is $2,500 per calendar day.³ There are no limits to the amount of money you can receive.

The money sent with Zelle^® is typically available to an enrolled person within minutes¹. To ensure the payment moves as quick as possible, ask your friends and family to enroll with Zelle^® before you send them money. In some cases, the payment could be delayed for your protection—for example—if Zelle^® or Bank of Hawaii suspect fraudulent activity is taking place.

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 auction 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). Neither Bank of Hawaii nor Zelle^® offers purchase protection for 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. Bank of Hawaii recommends not to use Zelle^® to purchase items from an online marketplace.

Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority for Bank of Hawaii. When you use Zelle^® within our mobile app, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your Bank of Hawaii account safe.

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. 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 be automatically cancelled.

In order to use Zelle^®, the sender and recipient’s bank or credit union accounts must be based in the U.S.

No, Bank of Hawaii does not charge any fees to use Zelle^® in the Bank of Hawaii mobile app. Your mobile carrier’s messaging and data rates may apply.

You can use Zelle^® with Bank of Hawaii, but you will need to transfer your enrollment from your other banking app.

Bank of Hawaii partners with Zelle^® to allow you to send money to and receive money from friends, family and others you trust using your BOH Mobile Banking app. There is a separate Zelle^® app that is owned and operated by Early Warning Services, LLC. If you choose to use the Zelle^® app then you will be subject to separate terms and conditions.

If you’re currently enrolled with Zelle^® in the BOH Mobile Banking app and would like to cancel your enrollment, please contact our customer service center at 808-643-3888 or toll-free at 1-888-643-3888.
