Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe LLP is investigating the fraud reimbursement practices of major U.S. banks using the Zelle peer-to-peer payment system, including Bank of America, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC, Truist, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo.
Despite Federal laws requiring the reimbursement of unauthorized electronic fund transfers, several major U.S. banks have refused to cover some customers’ fraud claims related to scams taking place on the Zelle payment system.
Zelle launched in 2017 and is owned and operated by the consortium of U.S. banks listed above.

One industry analyst recently told The New York Times that “organized crime is rampant” and that scams and fraud on peer-to-peer payment systems, including Zelle, are “common and everywhere.”
