What people do today

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A status dashboard within the app that provides real-time, transparent updates on Zelle service availability and known outages.
  2. An automated 'retry' or 'self-diagnostic' tool that allows users to troubleshoot common Zelle connection errors without needing a support agent.
  3. A secondary, integrated payment backup system that automatically triggers if a Zelle transaction fails, ensuring rent or bills are still paid on time.

Real voices

“It’s extremely frustrating how often Zelle isn’t working in this app. Especially when you use Zelle to pay rent, bills, etc. For my latest Zelle bug, I had to contact a live support agent to help me, and all they could do was submit a ticket.”
