Zelle at Ally
Ally’s help page says: “Log in to your Ally Bank account and select Zelle from the Payments menu.” Zelle works with Ally Bank Spending, Savings and Money Market accounts. Asked whether it charges for Zelle, Ally answers: “No. We don’t charge you to use Zelle.”
Ally’s Online Banking Services Agreement says limits “will be disclosed on the website screen at the time you elect the transfer.” Recurring Zelle payments go out with Standard delivery, which takes 1 to 3 business days.

“We have to review wires before 3 pm ET, and verified wires are sent by 6 pm ET.” A request after 3:00 PM ET is processed the next business day. The $20 fee is refunded within two business days when you wire money to your own Ally Invest account. Ally does not charge to receive a wire, but intermediary banks may; international wires arrive through JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the receiving bank. An incoming wire is available the same day if it arrives by 5:00 PM ET (domestic) or 3:00 PM ET (international).
For 90 days after you open your first Ally Bank account, wires are limited to $25,000; you can ask for an exception. You can schedule a wire up to 30 days ahead, but you cannot change a request once it is submitted. A wire from a Savings Account counts as one of the ten withdrawals allowed per statement cycle.

If a transfer is late or went wrong
If a Zelle payment has not arrived, read Zelle payment pending; to stop one, see cancel a Zelle payment, and if you were tricked, Zelle scam refund. For wires, see wire transfer not received and how long do wire transfers take; for external transfers, ACH transfer pending. Contact Ally through the number on your card or in the app.
