Neither Bank of America nor Zelle offers a protection program for any authorized payments using Zelle. Please remember: While Zelle is a great way to send money to family, friends and people that you know and trust (such as your personal trainer, roommate, babysitter or a neighbor), we recommend you do not use Zelle for potentially high-risk transactions (for example, if you don’t know the person) or aren’t absolutely certain you’ll get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site).
