Sinopsis

New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against Zelle’s parent company, Early Warning Services, accusing it of failing to protect customers from widespread fraud that cost victims over a billion dollars between 2017 and 2023. The suit claims EWS ignored known vulnerabilities and failed to enforce anti-fraud rules on its partner banks. Experts say the case raises major questions about the responsibilities of real-time payment platforms, highlighting the need for stronger security, identity verification, and consumer education. While a victory for New York could result in fines and mandated reforms, it remains uncertain whether consumers will see meaningful change or restitution.
