ever use Zelle?

They have no customer service.

Which means:

- no recourse for any wrongdoing.

- No way to report criminal activity.

- no way to request limit changes.

And yet, it’s entirely kyc’d.

Banks on both sides of the transaction can freeze the money.

The worst of all worlds.

I recently paid a contractor via Zelle and they froze funds on his side. (We use the same bank btw.)

My money is gone - no recourse for either of us.

When I call the bank - they immediately tell me that Zelle is a third party that they have no control over.

I have also been scammed thru Zelle in a weird furniture fiasco.

You can enter your info and amount lost. To which they respond - there is nothing they can do.

Heres the thing, Zelle is owned by the seven biggest banks in America.

It’s just a scapegoat buffer between banks to absolve them of liability and responsibility.

Stop using it where ever you can.

Fuck banks and everything about them.

It really is awful but I feel it’s becoming more and more popular.

It’s essentially pix in Brazil and that has effectively taken over consumer payments there.

People will take the convenience until it really bites them
