Youre also TAKING AWAY BANKS THAT HAVE BEEN USED FOR YEARS AND NOT NOTIFYING US. I have called and I have emailed, etc. Do you have a solution, or again, just a bad service and bad customer service? This only proves my point more.Review fromJohn B

Zelle as a service often works fine, but when it doesn't their customer service is lousy. They hide behind the banks that front the transactions for them -- saying that we must contact the bank directly to resolve the issue or answer the question, and they don't give the bank enough information to do anything. I have so far never lost money using Zelle, but * nobody can explain why certain transactions are delayed (even the same dollar amount to the same recipient that where the transaction processed immediately before), and * nobody can tell me how long to keep retrying when I keep getting the error message "Oops, we've hit a snag! Hmm, something's not working right now. Please try again later." In this case, my bank reports that Zelle says "something changed about your account" and that the transaction should eventually work, but they have no idea how soon.Early Warning

Zelle needs to be used with caution. I had an error message that the payment didn't go through, and so I gave the merchant my credit card info to pay. Then a while later the Zelle payment went through anyway, and there's NO WAY to get that money back... (the good news is the merchant refunded the credit card charge). So WAIT for at least a few hours if you get an error saying the payment didn't go through. Be really sure you trust whomever you're sending money to, and realize it's like pulling cash out of your wallet and handing it to someone... someone who's not likely to give the cash back.Early Warning

I tried to pay a super nice man for working on my home.He worked super hard he didnt realize that with a recent phone number change he wouldnt be able to access his money. I contacted my bank to dispute it and they said they cant give me the money back because Zelle said no. According to the man the money is just lost because it didnt go into to his account. And they think they can keep my hard earned money. Unbelievable I am so upset-terrible unfair business practices. Have a heart these are real lives you are affecting.Early Warning

I found out that my identity was stolen and a bank account opened, the bank was great about shutting it down and doing their part but they said since all the transactions on the account were Zelle payments I should call them to get that account shut down too so the criminals could not just go to another bank and do this again. I called Zelle, talked to 3 different people including someone they said was a supervisor and was told they couldn't do anything even though I of course have my personal info and the fraudulent transactions numbers. I spent 45 minutes on the phone and their suggestion was I call every bank ( I asked in the whole world) and keep checking if any of them get an new account in my name. I explained my concern for my name being linked to what is clearly illegal financial transactions and was told well we can't do anything about it.Early Warning

As I said about 100 times to your customer service representative I obviously do not know the email or phone number that the criminal who stole my identity is using as it would not make sense for them to use mine and have me notified when a transaction happened using your app would be of no use to me. As a financial institution you should have policies in place on how to handle these situations other than telling me to figure it out myself.Review fromKristin C

This has to be the most absolute joke of a company. I recently used it for the first time upon request from a buyer for an item I was selling. Grudgingly, I did and now I know why I had that gut feeling not to. She is out $425.00 and I am out $100.00 due to Zelle denying to cancel a transaction, stating I have not sent the $100 certificate fee; however, a screenshot of said payment was sent to them on two separate occasions. Still, neither of us have our refund and Zelle is telling me the only way to cancel the transaction is to do what? Send more money!!!!! They have to be insane!!!! This is not how a business should operate, they should be ashamed taking money and/or refusing to cancel transactions. This is fraud through and through. They are steadily refusing to cancel the transaction. I can't pay my child's daycare **** because they refuse to cancel the transaction for me to receive my $100 refund. I work in a law office and this is just shady and misconceiving as I have ever seen. I will exhaust all of my efforts to get my money back, because it means that much to me. I have been going back and forth with what seems like a third grade customer service representative and this is literally their response to one of my e-mails asking about my refund.... "We have nothing to do about it that how we work follow the instructions that all" - This is a nightmare company, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ZELLE, ZELLE PAY, EARLY WARNING ****, EARLY WARNING ZELLE PAY WHATSOEVER!!!! THEY ARE FRAUDULANT AND STEALING PEOPLES MONEY!!!!Early Warning

Zelle has the absolute worst customer service. My parents bank through PNC bank, my parents are elderly and my father is ill and has trouble ambulating. In an attempt to transfer money through Zelle and PNC, we have met nothing but obstacles. Including having to drag my father out of the house to contact Zelle from inside of the bank with the bank representative and thinking this problem was resolved. To trying to transfer again weeks later and still having trouble then calling them back and them saying that we needed to have my father return back to the bank again and call with the bank representative AGAIN. Why should we have to do this twice. All that the representative kept saying was I'm sorry but at this point you have to go back to the bank and have the bank representative call from the bank while you are there. No matter how many times we said that we did that already. Don't you all have record. Then when we asked to speak to a manager they said they did not have one available to talk and she would escalate the call and they would contact us. All of this took place after waiting an hour on hold to talk to them. This was not the only issue, this was just the most taxing issue. The fact that they made me add my name to the account, which was not a problem, but they still would not talk to me on the phone because I am not the account holder. In addition, this was the 4th or 5th time we had called regarding these issues. I am so fed up with Zelle and PNC at this point. I dont know if other people are having the same problem but I have never dealt with a more ridiculous company than Zelle.Early Warning
