-
Does Zelle® or Banc of California offer purchase protection?
Neither Banc of California nor Zelle® offers purchase protection for payments made with Zelle® — for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for, or the item is not as described or as you expected. Send money only to people and businesses you trust and always ensure that you’ve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.
-
Can I reverse or cancel a payment?
No, Zelle® payments cannot be reversed.
You can cancel a payment only if the business or consumer you sent money to hasn’t yet enrolled with Zelle®. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient hasn’t yet enrolled, you can go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel and then select “Cancel This Payment.” If you do not see this option available, please contact our Client Care Center at 877-770-BANC (2262) for assistance with canceling the pending payment.
If you send money to a business or consumer that has already enrolled with Zelle®, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why it’s important to send money only to people you know and trust, and always ensure that you’ve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.
If you sent money to the wrong person, please immediately call our Client Care Center at 877-770-BANC (2262) to determine what options are available.
