The holidays are approaching, and all year long, you’ve heard your parents talk about wanting a certain something. You know they’d never go out and buy it for themselves, so it’s the perfect present to surprise them with this year. Unfortunately, the price tag is a bit frightful. This year, go in on gifts with others and split the cost of the bill! 

Using Zelle_® to Get Paid Back is so Delightful 

Splitting the cost of a big gift with your siblings is easy with Zelle_®. Use Zelle_® to easily send a request¹ for the money you’re owed, and your sibling can quickly and safely send you money directly from their mobile banking app, even if you bank at different places². And the best part is, the money will be available to you in minutes². 

How to Request Money for the Group Gift

Step 1: Log into the Credit Union of Denver app. 

Step 2: In the main menu, select “Zelle_®”. 

Step 3: Select “Request money with Zelle_®”. 

Step 4: Enroll your email address.

Step 5: Once you’ve enrolled, select your recipient (by entering their phone number or email address), then type in the requested amount, add a little note such as “Mom and Dad’s Gift,” and click “Request”.

Pro-tip: For an even easier experience, have them enroll with Zelle_® at zellepay.com/get-started before sending your first request. You can send money to someone not yet enrolled, and they’ll get an email with instructions on how to do so. 

That’s it! No need to ask your siblings to run to the ATM or search for that checkbook they never use.

¹ Payment requests to persons not already enrolled with Zelle_^® must be sent to an email address.

² U.S. checking or savings account required to use Zelle_®. Transactions between enrolled consumers typically occur in minutes.
