Financial institutions that are members of the Zelle network are beginning to reimburse customers who have fallen victim to imposter frauds.

The operational company of Zelle, Early Warning Services, has now verified a policy change that took effect on June 30. This modification mandates that the 2,100 financial institutions that participate in Zelle reimburse customers for what it terms qualified impostor schemes. According to Zelle’s website, imposter scams might involve individuals posing as representatives from legitimate organisations such as businesses, governments, banks, or utility companies.

The peer-to-peer network acted after lawmakers raised concerns earlier this year.

“The change guarantees consistency across our network and goes beyond legal requirements,” stated an email from an official at Early Warning Services. “In the event that a consumer falls victim to a qualifying imposter scam, such as when a con artist poses as a bank in order to deceive a consumer into sending them money through Zelle,” the statement read.

When customers are tricked into authorising money transfers, banks are not obligated to compensate them according to Federal Regulation E, which governs electronic fund transfers. Nonetheless, in the event of a cyberattack when thieves acquire monies or utilise stolen information (such as credit card or account details) to complete transactions, compensation is mandated by federal law

Report a Fraud or Scam

If you have been a victim of fraud or scam you may use the form below or call us at 1-844-428-8542 to report your experience. It is important that if you are enrolled in Zelle^® through your bank or credit union to report the transaction directly to your bank or credit union. We will report the information you provide to the recipient’s bank or credit union to help prevent others from having the same experience.

A scam is when you knowingly send money but do not receive what you expected in return. For example, someone pretended to be another person or a business and tricked or persuaded you into sending the money or promised that you would receive something in return that they did not provide. Certain impostor scams qualify for reimbursement.

Fraud is when someone gained access to your bank account and made an unauthorized Zelle^® payment. For example, someone gained access to your bank account without your permission and you never authorized or were involved in the transaction. Because these transactions are unauthorized, they typically qualify for reimbursement.
