Description
Zelle, an online money transferring system, shut down payment functions in its app Tuesday. Don’t worry though, you’re still able to use Zelle in other ways.
The online service is built into banks and credit unions, resulting in the company shutting down their standalone app — which launched in 2017 — since so few people use it.
“Today, the vast majority of people using Zelle to send money use it through their financial institution’s mobile app or online banking experience, and we believe this is the best place for Zelle transactions to occur,” said the company in an October press release.
They said fewer than 2% of Zelle transactions take place on their own app and the rest comes from the 2,200 banks and credit unions that offer Zelle within their own apps.
