Can I cancel a payment?
You can only cancel a payment if the person you sent money to has not yet enrolled with Zelle® Zelle and the Zelle related marks are wholly owned by Early Warning Services, LLC and are used herein under license.. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient has not yet enrolled, you can go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel, and then select "Cancel This Payment."

Scheduled or recurring payments sent directly to your recipient’s account number (instead of an email address or mobile number) are made available by South Carolina Federal but are a separate service from Zelle® and can take 1 – 3 business days to process.

You can cancel a payment that is scheduled in advance if the money has not already been deducted from your account.

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle®, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why it is important to only send money to people you trust, and always ensure you have used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.

If you sent money to the wrong person, we recommend contacting the recipient and requesting the money back. However, if you don't know the person you should not use Zelle®. These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending cash to a person you don't know is high risk).

Neither South Carolina Federal nor Zelle® offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle® for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.
