Zelle transferred my money, but the recipient didn't get it. How can I resolve this issue?

First, make sure your Zelle app or banking app is updated and that your phone’s operating system is current.

Check your email or bank messages for any Zelle-related updates—payment issues can occur if the recipient hasn’t enrolled in Zelle, changed banks, or if there’s a mismatch in their contact details.

Confirm that the recipient’s email or phone number is correct and linked to an active Zelle account. If they’re not enrolled, the transfer will remain pending until they register.

Ask the recipient to check their spam folder for Zelle enrollment prompts or try re-enrolling using the same contact info.

If the transfer still shows as “completed” but the recipient hasn’t received the money, contact your bank’s Zelle support right away—they can trace the transaction and help recover the funds.

You can also contact Zelle directly at [email protected] or call (844) 428-8542. Their hours are typically Monday–Friday, 10 AM–10 PM ET.
