Chime Enterprise Adds Etech as Newest Employer Partner, Empowering Employees with Chime's Comprehensive Fee-Free Financial Wellness Suite
Through Chime Workplace, Etech employees now have fee-free access to the full range of Chime's financial wellness tools, including free earned wage access on demand

Chime Enterprise, the enterprise division of leading financial technology company Chime¹ (NASDAQ: CHYM), announced that Etech, a leading business process outsourcing (BPO) provider offering call center services and customer engagement solutions, has signed on as its newest employer partner. Through the partnership, Chime Workplace² is delivering the full range of Chime's fee-free³ financial tools to Etech employees, including earned wage access⁴ so employees can access their pay anytime, a high yield savings account⁵ with an APY that is 9x the national average⁶, credit building⁷ through Chime's secured credit card, and more. This comprehensive financial wellness suite is available through a single, no-cost platform, designed to support employees at every stage of their financial journey.

Hear directly from Etech leadership on why they chose Chime:

With just 30% of workers reporting good financial health⁸, employers are turning to trusted, compliant solutions to support their employees. 8.7 million active members⁹ already rely on Chime, with 97% saying Chime has helped them make financial progress¹⁰. Chime Workplace integrates seamlessly into workplace benefits and provides real-time, actionable insights on employee financial health through its employer portal.

Etech chose Chime to provide financial tools to its workforce over a legacy point solution, citing its comprehensive offering, ease of use, and lack of fees. Many employees were already familiar with Chime prior to launch, creating a strong foundation for engagement. Since rollout, Etech employees have begun using Chime Workplace tools to build savings, improve their credit, and access their pay when they want through fee-free earned wage access.

"Forward-thinking employers aren't looking for one-off tools to support their employees — they want solutions that deliver meaningful, measurable financial health benefits to their workforce," said Jason Lee, Chief of Chime Enterprise, Chime. "Etech's decision to replace a point solution with Chime Workplace's holistic platform reflects a broader shift: large employers are prioritizing real impact over patchwork fixes."

"We are committed to serving our people well, and that means providing resources that make a real difference in their lives," said Dr. Veronica Chimney, Chief Human Resources Officer, Etech Global Services. "Chime Workplace embodies this commitment by going beyond traditional point solutions to offer our employees a trusted, integrated suite of financial tools that meets them where they are and helps them achieve lasting progress."
