My bank once gave me a free $500 because of a Zelle error.

One day a few years ago I needed to move money from one account to another, so i decided to do it with Zelle. I sent it, checked the other bank account and it was there.

Later that evening I checked the account that I sent the $500 from, and noticed they had credited me back the Zelle transaction, and the Zelle activity said transaction cancelled. I waited like a month for them to correct the error. They never did.

I ended up getting in a fender bender in my GF at the time car, and ended up using the free $500 to pay the deductible, so I didn’t even get to enjoy it.
