How to delete a Zelle recipient on Chase: A quick, direct answer
Deleting a Zelle recipient from your Chase account is a three-step process on both the Chase website and mobile app. First, go to your Zelle recipients list via Pay & Transfer.

Before proceeding, always check that the recipient has no pending payments, as you cannot delete a contact with an active or scheduled transaction.
Step 1: Go to your Zelle recipients
Start by logging into your Chase account on the website or opening the Chase mobile app. On the website, locate the Pay & Transfer section in the main navigation menu and click on it. From the dropdown, select Manage Recipients. On the mobile app, tap the Pay & Transfer icon on the bottom navigation bar, then choose Manage Recipients. Once on the Manage Recipients page, look for the Zelle option and click or tap it to view your full list of Zelle contacts.

You can search by name, email address, or phone number using the search bar on the website or the search function on the app. Once you locate the correct contact, click or tap on their name. A new page or pop-up window will display the recipient's details, name, email, or phone number. Carefully verify this information to ensure you are deleting the right person and not accidentally removing a contact you still need.
