FAQs

How do I get access to My Paycheck?

Right now, My Paycheck is available to anyone who lives in the states listed in our eligibility requirements, provided all other eligibility requirements are met. We are working to expand our state eligibility.

How does accessing my income work?

During each pay period, you are able to see the amount that is available to you to access that day. Money can be accessed right from the Chime mobile app, and is transferred directly into your Chime Checking Account. The minimum amount that can be transferred at a time is $20, and the maximum is your available amount, up to your pay period max. Your pay period max may increase over time, up to $500, depending on factors such as direct deposit data and transaction history. See full MyPay limits for more information.

What is available income and how does it work?

Available income is the estimated amount that you have earned within your current pay period. Verifying your employment status helps us keep estimated income better up to date. It can also help you access more of your income.

How much does My Paycheck cost?

There is no cost to access or use My Paycheck. We do not charge any mandatory fees, and optional tipping is not required. Standard transfers of the funds to your Chime Checking Account are free and take up to 2 days to occur; if you choose, you can transfer your available income to your account instantly for $1.99.

Are there any mandatory fees?

No! We believe in transparency and never charge any mandatory fees. With My Paycheck, you can get your money in up to 2 days for free—or instantly for $1.99. You have the option to pick how quickly you’d like to receive your available income!
