So you accidentally glued your credit card to Zelle? We've all been there.
Let's be honest, Zelle can be a lifesaver when you need to split the dinner bill with friends, or pay your roommate back for that emergency toilet paper run (because, let's face it, adulting is messy). But what happens when you accidentally link your credit card instead of your debit card?
Fear not, fellow financial fumbler! We've all fallen victim to the occasional autofill snafu, and thankfully, removing your credit card from Zelle is easier than escaping a bad date.

- The Zelle App: If you're rocking the dedicated Zelle app, you're in luck. Open the app, tap the gear icon (because settings always look like gears, right?), then head to "Account." From there, you should see an option to "Switch Accounts" or "Manage Accounts" (depending on the app version).
- Your Bank's App/Website: If you use Zelle through your bank's app or website, the process might differ slightly. Look for options related to "Manage Zelle" or "Payment Methods." It's like playing financial hide-and-seek, but with less questionable carpet stains.
2. Unleash the unlinking:
Once you've found the appropriate settings, locate your credit card and tap the "Remove" or "Unlink" button. Poof! Your credit card is gone, free to roam the digital plains (or, more realistically, sit safely in your wallet).

Bonus Tip: If you're feeling extra cautious, consider contacting your bank to let them know you've removed your credit card from Zelle. They might have additional security measures in place for your peace of mind.
Remember: While removing your credit card is a breeze, adding a new payment method might require verification from your bank. So, plan accordingly if you need to link a new debit card soon.
