- Enable Zelle® alerts: Turn on real-time notifications for Zelle® activity
- Monitor your Zelle® activity: Check your recent Zelle® transactions frequently to spot anything unusual.
- Verify recipient details: Always confirm the email address or mobile number before sending money—Zelle® transfers are instant and usually irreversible.
- Use secure authentication: Protect your account with strong passwords and multi-factor authentication.
- Never share Zelle® codes or credentials: If someone asks for your login or verification code, it’s a scam. Zelle® will never request this information.
- Send only to people you trust: Zelle® is designed for sending money to friends, family, or trusted contacts—not for purchases from strangers.
Disclaimer: While these steps can help reduce the risk of unauthorized Zelle® transactions, no method is foolproof. Stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately.
