Crazy. I tried to zelle pay $400 to my husband last week. He had never used zelle so I just added him as a payee. For sone reason this triggered all sorts of alerts and I was locked out of my account. Bizarre. I had to call three times to correct it. They kept asking what the money was for. We always write cute silly stuff on our memo lines when we use venmo so I wrote: “for your good looks” They literally started asking me how long we’d been married and what the money was for etc. I guess they were trying to prevent fraud (which I appreciate as I recently had an aunt scammed out of $13k) but still the whole thing was just weird.

Wikipedia says "Zelle is a United States–based digital payments network owned by Early Warning Services, LLC, a private financial services company owned by the banks Bank of America, Truist, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC Bank, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo."

Well that's an interesting name, "Early Warning Services, LLC". And look at those banks.

This guy talks about how banks are closing accounts for no reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L4CgX-UvF8

BofA doing evil things...

I have an account with a private bank in oklahoma…maybe it’s time to switch everything over. It’s all a bit creepy.

I've been thinking about that myself. The question is, who are the good guys in banking? So far I've only found this website which describes the financial health of a bank or credit union. https://www.ibanknet.com/
