And now you shouldn’t zelle someone unless you’ve met this person in real life and not online. And when you zelle you enter their phone number and then you get a one verification code sent to your phone number. They really like to complicate things. Where is the fucking cash anymore? I would rather slide someone a round $5 and expect no change than zelle someone $4.50 for the coffee.
Edit: the reason is because of scammers using people personal phone numbers and hacking their carriers (or sending via their phone line idk how they do it tbh) my mother got a text from a friend and bought them $500 in apple gift cards. I heard they now copy speech and can mimic your voice for calls so have a passphrase with your grandma so she doesn’t send you the $100 from her ss check
