However, if you are having difficulty receiving cash form Zelle, there are certain steps you can take.

Call Customer Service

You can call Zelle customer service to get to the heart of the issue of why you can't withdraw money. Customer service will take a look at your account and determine why you are unable to receive funds in your account. They will also tell you how to resolve the issue so that you don't continue to have the problem. A zelle customer service representative will tell you what is required to use Zelle successfully and identify why you can't withdraw money. They will also walk you through how to enroll your Zelle profile. There will be a link provided along with instructions in the payment notification to enroll, if you haven't done this already. They will also inform you that you can use a Visa or MasterCard debit for Zelle if you don't want to enroll your bank or your bank isn't enrolled in Zelle.

Your Bank Should be Registered and Your Profile Linked to the Receivers

Both you and your recipient need to be registered with Zelle and be a part of each others profile in order to send and receive funds. If either of these pieces of the puzzle aren't in place, you may not be able to receive funds. Resolving this issue isn't difficult, however. Simply enroll your bank and connect your profile to your recipients and have them do the same.

You Must Have a Valid Email Address or Mobile Number

Another step you can take if you can't receive Zelle payments is to ensure that your email address and mobile number are valid. You should also check to see if the senders email address and mobile number are valid. These are all requirements to send and receive money form Zelle. If you find that one or more of these requirements hasn't been met, register a valid email address or mobile phone.
