That's just a different third party, though.
No? Is it? Isn't Zelle just like a directory?
Either way it's owned by the banks. It is the first party solution.
Then I think I was wrong, and you are right.
As someone not from the US I knew of zelle but never used it, and believed it was a direct competitor to Venmo or PayPal.
The reason I thought it was its own thing was because it has its own app, and a catchy silicon-valley-startup type name, and a brand logo, and all of that.
Contrast that to the UK where the ability to send free person-to-person payments has been integrated directly into the banking system for decades, and does not have it's own brand, or app or anything.
Zelle actually got rid of its app and is now incorporated directly in the banking apps themselves. It's kind of like a browser extension where it has its own section in the banking app
I don't know for sure. But I do know that Zelle is the banks' collective response to venmo.
