What should I do if Zelle is down for me?

Try a different payment method, since incidents usually hit one card network or local rail rather than all of them. Check whether the failure is at checkout or at settlement, because the two run on separate systems. Look for elevated decline rates in your dashboard rather than outright errors, which is how most payment incidents first appear. Do not retry a charge repeatedly, as duplicate attempts can succeed later and produce double billing.

Over the last 7 days, Zelle has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~61 ms. No outages have been recorded in the last 90 days.

Zelle moves money directly between US bank accounts, and most people reach it inside their own bank's app rather than here. An outage at a member bank affects Zelle transfers without anything on this page changing.

Is Zelle down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Zelle normally right now, and it answered our last one in 64ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
