Geriatric money help. Zelle.

I have two checking accounts. One is connected to Zelle. It works.

I want to connect the other account but it gets blocked because Zelle is already connected to an account,=.

Any thoughts before I waste an hour on a telephone tree or drive to a local office?

You can connect to multiple bank accounts using Zelle, but you must use a different email address or U.S. mobile phone number for each account. Each email or phone number can only be actively registered with one financial institution at a time.

Multiple accounts require unique identifiers: To link more than one bank account to Zelle, each one must be enrolled with a distinct email address or U.S. mobile phone number.

One active enrollment per identifier: A single U.S. mobile number or email address can only be associated with one financial institution at a time.

Switching accounts: If you want to receive payments from a different account, you'll need to transfer the enrollment from the old account to the new one by updating the linked identifier through your bank's app.

Limits: You can have up to two U.S. mobile phone numbers and two email addresses associated with your Zelle profile in total, but each must be linked to a different bank account to be active simultaneously.
