It’s funny, I ported my number to Google Voice, two years later I got kicked off Zelle because VOIP numbers are banned. So how do I send and receive money? Sign up Zelle with email instead. Yes, a VOIP number is a security threat (never mind Wells Fargo has known everything about me financially since forever), but a random email address is A-OK.
- checkyoursudo 3y agoI can get SMS "security" codes from most services to my google voice number, but one of my banks just flat out refuses, and let me tell you it can be a huge pain in the ass if a few circumstances line up so that you cannot receive a "security" clear-text msg on your approved phone.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoSending SMS costs $$$, and the gateways are closely-guarded. There are bad actors hammering on logins to elicit SMS codes, and Zelle is charged for the service according to that volume.
- oefrha 3y agoThere’s no separate Zelle login, and Wells Fargo proper hasn’t banned my phone number, so this explanation makes no sense whatsoever.
- yencabulator 3y agoZelle is a separate company that likely operates its SMS sending system separately from Wells Fargo.
