About
Zelle is a financial technology company that provides a mobile app for person-to-person payments. The app allows users to send and receive money from other users within the United States. Zelle is a subsidiary of Early Warning, a financial services company that provides fraud prevention and risk management services.
Zelle was founded in 2009 as a joint venture between seven of the largest banks in the United States: Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, U.S. Bancorp, Capital One, and BB&T. In 2017, Early Warning acquired Zelle and rebranded it as its own company.
