Does Zelle work Internationally?

Zelle is a mobile payment service that enables you to send money to friends and family, even if they use a different bank than you do. Now you can seamlessly get paid after covering up that group party cost, or family vacation. 

Why is Zelle popular? 

Zelle has partnered with banks and credit unions to make it fast, free and very easy to send money to almost everyone you know. It's already in over a thousand banking apps. 

Users don’t have to wait a few days to get their money into their account. The transactions are instant, and it’s free too. 

Does Zelle work internationally?

No. Zelle is only available domestically (for those in the US). To be able to use a Zelle account, the sender and recipient’s bank account must be based in the US. 

This means to move your money overseas, you will need to find an alternative for Zelle. However, you can use Zelle to send money to nigeria using Sendcash’s P2P method. 

Why can’t I use Zelle with a VPN?

VPN will only let you log into your Zelle account. But if you and the receiver don’t have a US bank account, then it cannot work. 

There’s an alternative for sending cash internationally. You can use Sendcash to send money from anywhere in the world. 

With Sendcash you can send funds using Bitcoin directly into the receiver's Naira account, without interacting with Bitcoin. It offers the best rates, and it’s convenient for your recipients too. It doesn’t require any cash up.
