-
Select “American Savings Bank”.
-
Follow the instructions provided on the page to enroll and receive your payment.

Zelle® is a great way to send money to family, friends, and people you are familiar with such as your personal trainer, babysitter or neighbor.
Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person's bank account within minutes, Zelle® should only be used to send money to friends, family and others you trust.
Neither American Savings Bank nor Zelle® offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle® – for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.
It’s easy – Zelle® is automatically available upon logging in to Online Banking and the ASB Mobile App. Go to Menu > "Send Money with Zelle®".
You can find a full list of participating banks and credit unions live with Zelle® here.
If your recipient's financial institution isn't on the list, don't worry! The list of participating financial institutions is always growing, and your recipient can still use Zelle® by downloading the Zelle® app for Android and iOS.
To enroll with the Zelle® app, your recipient will enter their basic contact information, a valid email address, a U.S. mobile number, and a Visa® or Mastercard® debit card associated with a U.S. based account (does not include U.S. territories). Zelle® does not accept debit cards associated with international deposit accounts or any credit cards.
When you enroll with Zelle® through your Online Banking Bill Pay account, or the ASB Mobile App, your name, the name of your bank, and the email address or U.S. mobile number you enrolled is shared with Zelle® (no sensitive account details are shared).
When someone sends money to your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number, Zelle® looks up the email address or mobile number in its "directory" and notifies us of the incoming payment. We then direct the payment into your bank account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private.
In order to use Zelle® internationally, the sender and recipient's bank accounts must be based in the U.S.
You can cancel a payment if the person you sent money to hasn't yet enrolled with Zelle®. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient hasn't yet enrolled, you can go to your activity page in Online Banking or the ASB Mobile App, choose the payment you want to cancel, and then select "Cancel This Payment". You can also cancel a payment that is scheduled in advance if the money has not already been deducted from your account.
If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle®, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why it's important to only send money to people you trust, and always ensure you've used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.
If you sent money to the wrong person, we recommend contacting the recipient and requesting the money back. If you aren’t able to get your money back, please send a Secure Message in Online Banking or Mobile App, or contact our Customer Banking Center at (808) 627-6900 or toll-free (800) 272-2566 for assistance.

Keeping your money and information safe is our top priority. When you use Zelle® within the ASB Mobile App or Online Banking, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your bank account safe.
If you don't know the person, or aren't sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site), you should not use Zelle® for these types of transactions.
These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don't know is high risk). Neither American Savings Bank nor Zelle® offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle® – for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.
You will need to have the latest ASB Mobile App. The latest app will be available on April 11, 2022 - Visit the App Store or Google Play and update the ASB Mobile App. If you’re still experiencing an issue, please submit a Secure Message in Online Banking, or call our Customer Banking Center.
Your email address or U.S. mobile phone number may already be enrolled with Zelle® at another bank or credit union. Call our Customer Banking Center at (808) 627-6900 or toll-free (800) 272-2566 and ask them to move your email address or U.S. mobile phone number to American Savings Bank so you can use it for Zelle®.
Once the Customer Banking Center moves your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, it will be connected to your American Savings Bank account so you can start sending and receiving money with Zelle® through the ASB Mobile App and Online Banking. Please contact our Customer Banking Center at (808) 627-6900 or toll-free (800) 272-2566 for assistance.
