- The FTC hasn't published individual payment amounts for this Zelle round.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

How much will I get?
The FTC hasn't stated an individual payment amount. The first round sent out more than $2.3 million in total, but individual amounts vary.
Why is the FTC sending Zelle instead of a check or PayPal?
The previous checks and PayPal payments went uncashed or unaccepted, so the FTC is trying a different payment method to get money to eligible people.

The FTC found that Credit Karma misled people with pre-approved credit offers that many didn't actually qualify for, wasting their time on applications. This settlement compensates people for that time.
