In December a federal regulator sued JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America, claiming the banks failed to protect hundreds of thousands of consumers from rampant fraud on Zelle, in violation of consumer financial laws.

The CFPB has dropped a lawsuit accusing Zelle and its bank backers of failing to clamp down on fraud. It's Trump administration's latest move to drop agency enforcement actions.

A spokeswoman for the payment app’s parent company said the lawsuit against three large banks was “without merit, and legally and factually flawed.”
