Yes, you can use Zelle to send money to your other bank account only if you have a different email address and US phone number to enroll your other bank with Zelle.
Zelle lets you connect only one bank account to your account profile — meaning you cannot use more than one bank account with your Zelle account.
This means, sending money to your other bank account would require you to open a Zelle account with a different phone number and email address.
Zelle terms, however, are clear; each user is allowed to have only one Zelle account.
So keep in mind that opening another Zelle account goes against Zelle's terms.

Final Thoughts
Zelle is a popular money transfer service that lets users send and receive money between banks within minutes.
Zelle only lets users link a single account and are allowed to link just one bank account to their profile as of this writing, making it difficult to send money to your other bank account.
However, you can use Zelle to send money to your other bank account if the account has a different email address or U.S. phone number.
