Bank and Payment Network Blame Each Other, Leaving User Without Zelle Access
Consumer is locked out of Zelle with no clear explanation, as Wells Fargo and Zelle each redirect the consumer to the other party. There is no transparent resolution path, timeline, or escalation mechanism when a restriction spans both a bank and a third-party payment network. This accountability gap leaves users unable to access their own funds.
