Now, use Chime to pay anyone

Send money to anyone, even if they’re not on Chime. They claim funds to their bank account instantly¹ and for free.

Chime Team • April 13, 2021

Pay Anyone is this awesome way Chime members can send and receive money fee-free. Up until now, Chime members could only give and get money with friends that had a Chime account. That all changes today.

Because Chime is better with friends, members can spread the love (and money) to anyone regardless if they have a Chime account or not.

Better banking for everyone

Fee-free overdraft up to $200¹
No hidden fees²
Get paid up to 2 days early with direct deposit³

Send money to anyone and everyone

Ok, we know what you might be thinking:

“They have to be on Chime to receive money?” Nope. They don’t need to be on Chime or download an app. They can claim funds instantly¹ to their bank account using a valid debit card.
“I still have to use other payment apps.” Again, nope. You can send money to anyone, whether they’re on Chime or not, all within the Chime app.
“One of us will be charged a fee.” Gasp, no! Fee-free means no fees to you for sending and no fees for them to claim funds instantly⁴.

So, how does it work exactly?

1. Go to the Pay Anyone tab

2. Find your friend on Chime, or enter email/phone # of someone who isn’t on Chime

3. Enter a dollar amount and note (like an emoji)

4. Choose “Pay”

5. Your friend has 14 days to enter their required info and instantly claim the funds!

Spend, save, and now pay all on Chime

Whether you need to go dutch on a meal, pay the babysitter, or just treat a family member, Chime has you covered. Paying anyone has never been easier.

¹ Chime SpotMe is an optional, no fee service that requires a single deposit of $200 or more in qualifying direct deposits to the Chime Checking Account each month. All qualifying members will be allowed to overdraw their account up to $20 on debit card purchases and cash withdrawals initially, but may be later eligible for a higher limit of up to $200 or more based on member's Chime Account history, direct deposit frequency and amount, spending activity and other risk-based factors. Your limit will be displayed to you within the Chime mobile app. You will receive notice of any changes to your limit. Your limit may change at any time, at Chime's discretion. Although there are no overdraft fees, there may be out-of-network or third party fees associated with ATM transactions. SpotMe won't cover non-debit card transactions, including ACH transfers, Pay Anyone transfers, or Chime Checkbook transactions. See Terms and Conditions.

² Out-of-network ATM withdrawal fees apply except at MoneyPass ATMs in a 7-Eleven location or any Allpoint or Visa Plus Alliance ATM. Other fees such as third-party and cash deposit fees may apply.

³ Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from the payer. We generally make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to 2 days earlier than the scheduled payment date.

⁴ Funds are automatically debited from your Checking Account and typically deposited into the recipient’s Checking Account within seconds. Pay Anyone transactions will be monitored and may be held, delayed or blocked if the transfer could result in fraud or another form of financial harm. Sometimes instant transfers can be delayed.
