Common Issues & Solutions

My bank's website does not work well on Chromebook
Make sure Chrome is updated. Try clearing your browsing data. If the bank website has issues, use the bank's mobile app from the Play Store instead.
I am nervous about sending money online
Start small — send $1 to a family member to test. Zelle through your bank is very safe. Always verify the recipient before sending.
Received a suspicious payment request
Do not pay requests from unknown people. Block and report the sender. Legitimate companies and government agencies never ask for Zelle or Venmo payments.
