Alternatives to Zelle

Alternatives to Zelle

Late last year, Zelle issued a statement notifying users of the discontinuation of the Zelle App. Effective April 1, 2025, members who have registered their MembersFirst Credit Union Account in the Zelle App to send or receive money will no longer be able to do so.

MembersFirst Credit Union does not have plans to offer Zelle as a P2P (Peer-To-Peer) service at this time.

Are P2P Payment Systems Safe?

Are P2P Payment Systems Safe?

P2P payment apps like Venmo, Zelle, and Cash App are booming, but scams are rampant. One common trick exploits the delay in fund transfers—scammers use fake accounts to pay for goods and disappear before you realize it’s a scam. Venmo also shares transactions publicly by default, making users easy targets for identity theft. To stay safe, only send money to people you know, avoid using these apps for business, transfer funds out promptly, and enable two-factor authentication. Protect your money!
