Paypal is about to get some competition as a new service called Zelle has teamed up with several national banks including Bank of America, Capital One, BB&T, Chase, Citi, TD Bank, Sun Trust and US Bank to name a few.
According to its site which is located at the domain name ZellePay.com, its “the new, easy way to send money in minutes directly between U.S. bank accounts — right from your mobile banking app. The country’s leading banks and credit unions have partnered to bring you a better way to move money.”
“You can find Zelle in you’re the mobile and online banking app. If you already have your mobile banking app, you won’t need to download anything to start sending money.
You can send money to almost anyone with a bank account in the U.S. All you need to know is their email address or mobile number.
Many of our partner banks and credit unions offer Zelle through their online banking sites, in addition to their mobile banking
If you’re wondering the domain name Zelle.com is not available as it’s owned by a global law firm.
ZellePay.com was hand registered in 2016.
Any idea why they chose such a crap name? Crap name and the 5 letter .com is used already. Time to rebrand.
Why didn’t they pick a name they could get the matching .com for??
OK, so the timer starts now… How long before we read of an “exciting new re-branding” for ZellePay.com, as they find that customers are forgetting the “Pay” part of their domain?! Absolute head smack time here. They could have gone to Brandbucket or others in the brandable naming business and found any number of better names, in a dot com, at probably around $2.5-$3K. “Oh, but we only paid $10 for our domain…”
This zelle rogram sucks. Nothing but issues trying g to get my money from renters that wanted to use this trash.
