Introducing Zelkea handles

The universal identity layer
for financial accounts.

Handles give every account a simple, human-readable identifier that works across banks, fintechs, and platforms. Customers can send, receive, and pay using a handle instead of sharing account numbers, card details, or wallet information.

01

Universal

A single handle works across all participating institutions.

02

Private

Handles don't expose any sensitive information about the account holder.

03

Memorable

Handles are short, human-friendly, and easy to remember.

We don't replace anyone
We connect everyone

Protocol Diagram
Institution-owned

Every handle belongs to a regulated institution, which remains responsible for identity, compliance, and customer relationship.

Production ready

Built for reliability with real-time transfers, signed webhooks, idempotency, and developer-first APIs.

of the network.

For financial institutions

One integration.
Infinite connectivity.
