what info does zellew show the recipient

The recipient usually sees your name and the payment details, plus the phone number or email tied to the Zelle transfer; Zelle also emphasizes using it only with people you know and trust. If your bank’s app adds extra profile information, the recipient may see that too, but the exact display can vary by bank.

What they typically see

  • Your first and last name, or the name associated with your enrolled email or phone number.
  • The amount sent and the transaction status.
  • The email address or phone number used for the transfer, depending on how you enrolled.

What they usually do not see

  • Your full bank account number.
  • Your card details.
  • Your complete account balance.

Why it matters

Zelle payments move quickly, so the recipient info is mostly for identifying who sent the money, not for sharing sensitive banking data. That’s one reason banks warn people to use Zelle only with trusted recipients.

TL;DR: The recipient generally sees your name and the email or phone number linked to Zelle, along with the payment amount and status, but not your full bank details.
