Table of contents

Zelle is a digital payments network making it easy, fast, and safe for users to send and receive money. Zelle enables individuals to electronically transfer money directly from their bank account to another registered user's bank account within minutes through a mobile phone number or email address. Offering services to a wide range of participating banks and credit unions, Zelle's vast network simplifies peer-to-peer transactions. It is beneficial for any individuals, friends, or family members in the U.S. who want to send, receive, or request money without dealing with cash or checks. Whether it's splitting the bill, paying rent, or sending money to a family member, Zelle provides an easy-to-use platform for everyday financial exchanges.

Zelle Dispute Policy

Zelle takes its commitment to user safety and satisfaction seriously and has developed a dispute resolution policy to manage any disagreements that customers might experience. If a user finds an unauthorized or inaccurate transaction, they are encouraged to immediately contact the customer service of their bank or credit union who partners with Zelle, as Zelle itself does not offer a direct money-back guarantee. The financial institution will then resolve the dispute following its policies and guidelines, which are generally fashioned according to federal regulations for electronic fund transfers. This procedure ensures consistency with the bank or credit union's existing dispute resolution procedures, providing familiar and uniform service to the user.


Zelle doesn't make it easy to get a dispute. Many users get lost in the support web pages, not sure what to do and where to click. If you find the Zelle's website overwhelming and not user-friendly, you can turn to Chargeback for help to get your money back. It’s easy—you start by creating a profile in our app.

After getting a profile, you’re just a few simple steps away from securing that dispute:

  1. Log in and hit Dispute Instantly

  3. Provide your first and last name
  4. Open our templated email
  5. Press send

How long does it take to resolve a dispute with Zelle?

The timeframe for resolving disputes with Zelle can widely vary, as it usually depends on the policy of the bank or credit union that the user has an account with. However, as per Federal Reserve regulations, most financial institutions aim to investigate and resolve electronic funds transfer disputes, which would include Zelle transactions, within 10 to 45 days of receiving a claim. It's important to note that during the investigation process, many banks provisionally credit the disputed funds back to the customer’s account. This allows customers to access their funds while the issue is resolved, ensuring a smooth and foolproof process.
