    That's what I was saying, there are a few odd amounts coming in from Zelle. Not the majority, maybe 2-3. Zelle goes right to the bank account; I do nothing (which I prefer) so it could be the donor is putting in that odd amount, it could be a fee on their banks end. I don't know.

    Paypal I have to move and those I can see what is donated vs. what we actually receive.

    Gotcha. I misunderstood.

    Oh well. This is for my March budget anyway. I'll try next week.
    I stopped at the bank today to ask about Zelle. They said if I don't give them a cell phone number, I can't use Zelle through them. They said Zelle works by cell phone numbers.

    Do I have a cell? Yes. Do I give out the number? No. I give out my landline. The bank has my landline.
    The bank said I can download the Zelle app and that Zelle won't spam me if I enter my cell in the app.

    I know I'm being stubborn about giving the bank my cell, but they do marketing calls from time to time and that's what the landline is for.

    So what do you think? Am I safe from spam calls and thieves if I download the app?
    If I download it, can I delete it later?
    I've donated by Pay Pal in the past but if Gertie is phasing it out.....it feels like I'm sabotaging her efforts to use Pay Pal. (But not saying I won't use Pay Pal.)

    Advice?
    Sometimes you just have to do what feels right with your money instead of what is "optimal". Too many focus on optimal outcomes, when good enough is good enough. (Thanks to Retired @ 50)

    Zelle has never spam called me. So far it's been safe from thieves with no issues.

    Typically banks want cellphone # so they can text two-factor authorization numbers when needed.

    IIRC I got a 2 factor authentication from Zelle the first time I used it. A security code texted to my phone and then entered in the Zelle app.

    I've never had a phone call from Zelle OR my bank. I wouldn't put up with that.

    I continue to not do so well with this.
    I went and downloaded Zelle and gave Zelle my cell, but then I got the message, "Good News, your bank uses Zelle," and it sent me to the bank's login.

    The good news was that when I clicked on Zelle within the bank's website, I was able to use my email address. This time it did not demand my cell. It sent a verification code to my email.
    Unfortunately, I typed it in wrong.
    It told me I typed it in wrong and to try again.
    I added the missing digit.
    Then it told me I had tried too many times and to try again later.

    It did not define "later."

    I'm trying to donate, but it just is not going well! I also couldn't locate the Announcement so if the Announcement has info that is needed for the donation, I have a second problem. @coolmom42 , does it have special info?
