Common Issues & Solutions

The app does not work on my iPad
Some financial apps are phone-only. If the iPad version is not available, use the Venmo or Zelle website in Safari instead.
Transaction is pending
First-time payments may take 1-3 business days to process. After that, Zelle payments are usually instant.
I am locked out of my account
Use the "Forgot password" option. You may need to verify your identity through your bank or email. Contact customer support if you are still locked out.
