No, you can only have one Chime membership tier active at a time. If you qualify for Chime Prime by meeting the $3,000 monthly direct deposit threshold, your account automatically updates to Chime Prime and includes access to your new benefits, including benefits available with Chime Plus.

If you stop receiving $3,000+ in qualifying direct deposits per month, your membership tier will change based on how much you direct deposit monthly. Your membership tier will change to Chime Plus if you receive a single direct deposit of $200+ or at least $400+ cumulative per month. You will not have access to Chime Plus or Chime Prime if your direct deposit amount falls below the applicable thresholds. You can get Chime Prime again by direct depositing at least $3,000 monthly.

You can find all available rewards, perks, and benefits directly in your Chime app when you tap your membership status in the Profile tab. If you need help, you can call to chat with a real person on Chime’s support team 24/7.
