    Zelle is non-reversable, no issues there if you both have it setup. Honestly, I'm preferring that method if at all possible. Unless I plan to buy another pin quickly, cash is a hassle.

    "There is no mechanism to reverse the transaction in Zelle — just like a wire transfer." HTH

    Quoted from PinMonk:

    Nope, sorry. Both of those are too risky unless it's a close friend.
    Bank to bank wire transfer or cash on the glass.

    Nothing risky about Zelle at all, it's a wire transfer that is automatic. Only hassle is it can have daily limits of $1000 - $3000 transfer at a time. Like a wire, it's non-reversable and tied to real funds in checking/savings...no credit cards. Let's give the guy accurate data and not based on feelings/assumptions.

    Quoted from PinMonk:

    Tying Zelle to your live bank account is playing roulette. Your username can be socially engineered and your account drained with, like you say, no reversals. I'd never do it.

    What? Not true. My wife works for a bank (corporate not some teller) and Chase Pay/Quick Pay/Zelle, whatever you want to call it is always connected to your account by default, you don’t “tie” it to anything. Again, this isn’t like PayPal. It’s not a “third party” app or product, it’s an “intermediary” that is a service banks use for expedited ONE WAY transfers. You must sign in to your bank to use it, there is no Zelle login. It’s non-reversible and there is nothing risky about it, you either request payment from another person (or you send payment), just like a wire. Hating on “Zelle/QuickPay”, is like saying your scared a wire feature is tied to your bank account. I trust my wife’s banking experience over your ‘tin foil’ thoughts.
