Zelle deposit im trying to ask a simple question but keep getting cut off. They say contact my bank.
Got an email from zelle while trying to sell some furniture, it sounds like a scam. I cant verify this by asking zelle about the email I got but the phone system wants me to contact my bank instead.
When I wait to speak to someone I get cut off. Nice bussiness model.
User's recommendation: Dont use zelle. They are unresponsive

Verified ReviewerPayment wasn't received
- - Paid $292 via Zelle to Carolina Arboleda Rueda.
- - Recipient's Zelle account was unverified; payment not received.
- - A status has been requested.
I sent a payment through Zelle on January 19, 2026, to *** for $292.00. Payment to her was never received.
Her bank said that the account she had registered through Zelle wasn't verified by email or phone number, so at the time the payment was sent, it wasn't registered. I don't know where the $292.00 is. She never received the payment after properly registering her account, and it was never refunded back to my bank account.
Please let me know where the $292.00 currently is. Thank you.
- Instant digital transfer
- Person never receiving payment and not being able to speak with customer service

Verified ReviewerCan't send funds to Chase bank account
It appears as though customer service is non-existent.. I understand Through the Grapevine that Zell is being upgraded but it works with some banks but not other Banks ?
I send cell payments through KeyBank too many other Banks but I can't send payments to Chase Bank customers ? Lots of things in flux in the financial system these days I've been in business about 60 years so use money transfers almost daily
Phone sent from Key Bank to Chase Bank but KeyBank says that chase is not responding to my zelle account

Verified ReviewerTook too long & too many bots to reach a human with an answer.
Zelle should give a direct answer to the question immediately How do I access my financial history with the recipient?

It was take time when I was phone them I think at the future I get very quickly and and it is good for me
- - Zelle responded nicely and took 10 days to verify.
- - I am waiting for a refund and hopeful that I will get my money back.
It is not good service I was complaining, but still I not get any answer. Any good response look like they are uncareful for their client
I was sent money to the wrong person using the wrong phone number. After that, I contacted Zelle; they responded nicely, and they took 10 days for verification.
Now I am waiting to get my money. I think I will get my money back, but still, I don't have it.
I think they are helping me nicely. Thank you very much.
- Yes
- If any mistake is gonna be take long time to solve the problem
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Hopefully, they can help nicely
Zelle accounts are not insured and you don’t get a refund for a mistake. Say goodbye to your money

Restriction
The customer service at Zelle was useless. Chase Bank informed me that they lifted a restriction on my account.
Zelle will not open my account.
I do not understand why give me a reason.. so is that in mind I’m gonna use Venmo because Zelle sucks
I was told that the bank has to release this restriction. I no longer have that back.
My account has been closed. I contacted the bank, and they said they could not release the restriction.
They have nothing to do with that, and I should contact ***. I did so, and I'm still in the same position as I was before, nowhere.
- Difficulty switching banks so right now i can have zelle because it is tied with my current email address
Preferred solution: I would like to have a Zelle to transfer my account with American Express Bank
User's recommendation: Use Venmo
