Instant and no-fee I can get behind but irreversible sounds like an awesome way to lose a lot of money.


I've seen it IRL. Zelle claims no responsibility and that they can't track what they sent.


Fines for failure to implement legally mandated Anti-Money Laundering measures in 3...2...1...

Seriously. If they can't, it will not be long until the omission is noticed.


I only ever worry of the opposite: reversibility leading to chargeback scams.


Reversibility means risk incurred on the transfer system which means not free. Reversibility to the people you pay also means you pay a premium as the vendor has to self or externally insure the risk the funds will be recalled.
