Zelle fraud case workflow for when customers did not receive merchandise or service

Updated on June 20, 2022

Review the workflow of the Did Not Receive Merchandise (DNR) process in Zelle case type. The process describes the process to use when customers indicate that they might be the victim of a scam involving a promise of merchandise or service in exchange for funds, but never received what was promised. Because Zelle is not a transaction to purchase an item, Pega Smart Dispute for Issuer treats this scenario as a case of potential scamming or fraud.
