Rationale
Zelle is primarily a person-to-person (P2P) payment service that allows users to send and receive money directly between bank accounts. While it facilitates money movement, it does not offer the comprehensive suite of payment processing tools, developer APIs, or advanced billing/subscription management that Stripe provides for businesses. It focuses on consumer-to-consumer transactions and small business payments, rather than being a full-fledged payment platform for online merchants. It does mention fraud prevention and has a mobile app, but lacks the extensive developer tools and reporting capabilities of Stripe.
