Zelle has become the most popular peer-to-peer payment app. Its popularity alone would be enough to make it a prime target for scammers. Learn more how to protect yourself below.

Those who paid via PayPal or credit card were much more likely to report recovering their funds.

Zelle has become the most popular peer-to-peer payment app. Its popularity alone would be enough to make it a prime target for scammers. However, there are a few specific reasons why fraudsters target Zelle specifically. 

How to Avoid Zelle Scams:

Opt to make transactions with your Zelle email: Unless you know the sender (or recipient), choose to make transfers with an email connected to Zelle.  

Don’t let immediate deadlines or frightening consequences misguide you into paying a scammer.

Switch to non-bank, peer-to-peer payment apps: Venmo, for example, lets you make payments with a connected credit card at a 3% fee.

Consider identity theft and credit monitoring services like Aura. Aura will flag suspicious transactions including those beyond your spend limit.

Aura can help protect you from scams, identity theft, fraud and other online threats.

Aura can easily help you do all three (and more!) with our all in one digital solution.
