Zelle isn’t available to download anymore (as least, on ios.) My landlord kept suggesting it for me to pay rent, and that’s how I discovered that it’s disappeared from the App Store.

I started setting up a bank transfer instead, but even that required precise coordination that we couldn’t get to work. I’d have to add his account to my online bank, wait for it to send two “microtransfers” of less than a dollar, then confirm the amounts on my end. Between our schedules and the fact I don’t know when the microtransations happen, we keep missing the chance to verify the numbers before the bank withdraws the microtransfers. Such a pain in the ass.

I ended up paying rent through Apple pay instead, which I still feel weird about. But I don’t have a checkbook (who does these days?) and it’s cheaper than a cashier’s check, so…

Zella isnt downloadable because it's integrated into the banking system now. It's not a separate thing.

It's literally just a direct transfer now. Straight from your banking app.

Yeah there used to be an app but now it's integrated into your banking app, so I guess yours hasnt adopted it. I go into my bank's app and have the option for them to issue a check by mail from my account, or use Zelle. It's no good for online purchases but I've paid an electrician that way before.

Yep, my landlord kept telling me to use Zelle through my banking app, but I use a small local credit union (and have zero interest in changing that. Credit unions ftw.) So I gotta do what I gotta do.

If your credit union still hasn't implemented Zelle, you should probably switch to one that's actually competent.
