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.
