How to Reach Customer Service at Cash App, Zelle and PayPal

If you've ever tried to reach the customer service department at one of the popular money payment apps, you know how difficult it can be. It's easy to send money but not so easy to get help.

In this article, we’re going to show you how to contact Cash App, Zelle and PayPal.

Here’s How to Contact Cash App, Zelle and PayPal

These are the three payment apps I have downloaded on my phone. And if you’re like me, you have to be extra careful because it’s easy to send money to the wrong person.

Money expert Clark Howard says if you happen to send money to the wrong person using these apps, “generally, there’s no way to get it back.”

One reason for payment mistakes is because Cash App, Zelle and PayPal all allow you to sync your phone contacts. That means your friends, family and associates are all there just one false tap away.

If you ever make a mistake, here is how to contact Cash App, Zelle and PayPal.

The contact methods listed above are the only ones that Cash App, Zelle and PayPal offer their customers. As you can see, I was able to speak to a real person only at PayPal.

Because their customer assistance is so limited, Clark says if you’re going to use these money payment apps, you should protect yourself by opening a separate checking account that connects to them.

“Leaving it tied into your main checking account is really risky today with the ability of criminals to crack the code on usernames and passwords,” he says.

Clark also suggests that when it comes to payment app transactions, you should use a credit card because they have more robust customer protections than debit cards.
