New York Takes Zelle to Court Over Alleged Fraud on the Platform, Claims $1 Billion Lost

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-11-23 15:10:23

Debates about what terms banks are allowed to offer on credit cards are fairly straightforward and can be easily followed by non-specialists. But some issues are under the hood, and a societal debate about them doesn’t exactly wear its consequences on its sleeves. Consider the controv
