Are you trying to cancel a Zelle payment? Unfortunately, Zelle payments cannot be canceled unless they're still processing. Zelle sends payments instantly to the recipient's account, similar to transferring cash to someone else. However, if you did send a payment you want to cancel, there are a few things you can try.
Things You Should Know
- If a payment is pending because the user hasn't signed up for Zelle yet, you will be able to cancel.
- Otherwise, Zelle payments are instantaneous and cannot be canceled once sent.
- Ensure you send Zelle payments to the right person before you hit the send button.

Warnings
- Watch out for Zelle scams . Only send money to people that you know and trust. If you're buying something and the seller wants to accept payment via Zelle, make sure you have the item you're buying in hand before you send the money, or ask to use an alternative payment method like PayPal, which has a transaction type specifically for business use.Thanks
