Our mission is to unite everyday people to Unlock Financial Progress™. We’re doing that by changing the way people feel about banking. Chime’s business was built on the principle of protecting our members and making managing your money easy. Everything we build is focused on improving our member’s lives.
Who can use Chime?
Legal residents of the United States 18 years and older are welcome to apply! While Chime cards work all over the world, currently we can only offer accounts to members with a valid SSN, living in the United States and District of Columbia.
How does Chime make money?
Chime makes money from the interchange fee charged on card transactions. Every time you use your Chime Visa® Debit Card or secured Chime Visa® Credit Card for purchases and paying bills, Visa processes the transaction and charges an interchange fee to merchants for the service. Chime receives a portion of this fee. This is how Chime can continue building new and better products that help members get the most from their money.
When do I receive my Chime Visa® Debit Card after I open a Chime Checking Account?
Your Chime Checking Account comes with a virtual card that you can add to your mobile wallet. If you'd like a physical debit card you must request one through the Chime app. Once requested, your Chime Visa Debit Card is usually placed in the mail within one (1) business day after you submit your request. It can take 5 to 10 business days for your Chime Visa Debit Card to arrive at your home address.
