CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Early Warning Services, which operates Zelle, said it has partnered with Levvel as its professional services provider to provide Zelle Network participants and prospects with technical design, development, and integration solutions to accelerate the deployment of Zelle, and other faster payment initiatives.
The company said the initiative is especially designed for community banks and credit unions.
The agreement enables financial institutions to streamline onboarding, build for the future, and provide ongoing guidance as the Zelle Network evolves, the company said.
“Zelle has been a game changer for banks and consumers alike,” said Scott Harkey, head of Financial Services and Strategy at Levvel. “Many community banks and credit unions rely on a combination of vendors to fully launch Zelle. We help them sort through some of the complexity and ensure their Zelle launch is successful while taking into account future state needs for their payment architecture.”
“Levvel brings a deep understanding of digital payments that will help financial institutions, not only with easing the complex integration of Zelle, but also with the strategy needed to develop a holistic faster payments strategy,” said Jamie Armistead, Vice President and Product Line Leader for Zelle, at Early Warning.
