Depends on if OP had the bad luck of accidentally typing on someone else's account info. In the US, if you accidentally zelle someone, you can't get it back unless you file a police report saying you were defrauded. Shit, when I was doing the downpayment on my home, it was nerve wracking entering in the wire transfer info because if you type it in wrong, you could literally just be out hundreds of thousands

right? how is there not some better system to do that shit?

"Ok heres the email about wiring your payment, its two lines to fill out and 4 pages of how this could, and regulalry does, go terribly wrong, after which you'll be fucked with no recourse. Sign here and pray to whatever gods you hold dear."

For real. I never it much thought for rent and such since I've been blessed with a good job but God damn i would be beside myself if I transferred it wrong.

The kicker is that when the bank screws it up, they can sue your ass if you spend any of the money.
