      780m damages for customers… what’s that? 780k fines? 78k fines?

      The reason the 3 keep showing up in fraud-lawsuits is because there is no punishment for banks that commit fraud.

      Wells Fargo: 27.6bn fined since 2000.

      Bank of America: 87.3bn fined since 2000.

      JP Morgan: 40.1bn fined since 2000.

      It’s just a cost of business for them….

      Ironically some of the safeguards they put in place probably increase fraud. Like most people expect Zelle transfers to be instant, but it turns out that some banks will sometimes wait up to 3 days to even initiate the transfer (it won’t show up as pending on the receivers end and the money will be gone on the senders end).

      As bad as Venmo, Cash App, and the rest of the unregulated financial aid are, Zelle was made by the banks and manages to be even worse.

      Finally, someone is holding these banks accountable! They’ve let fraud run rampant on Zelle for too long.

      It would be great if we could go back to the days when banking wasn’t exciting.

      Hmmm I mean this is bad but I still can’t believe people fall for this

      “One of the most common Zelle scams involves bad actors impersonating a financial institution or a federal agency, who then trick customers into sending them money. After facing pressure from the CFPB, the banks backing Zelle started issuing refunds to victims of this type of scam last year”

      They are banks so clearly nobody needs to go to jail. Everything they do is legal. Also they need more government stimulus money.
