What is the ZELLE* charge on my statement?
ZELLE* is Zelle. Zelle peer-to-peer payments appear as ZELLE* followed by recipient name or ID on bank statements. If you did not authorize it, start with Zelle’s own Zelle billing help before a bank dispute — the biller can show the exact purchase and refund faster than a chargeback resolves.

What to do next
- Check the charge in Zelle’s own records first: Zelle billing help. A shared household login is the most common answer.
- To stop future charges, use Manage or cancel Zelle. Cancellation stops renewals; it rarely refunds past ones on its own.
- If nobody in your household recognizes it after checking the biller's own records, dispute the charge with your card issuer and ask the biller to close whatever account it is tied to.
