About This Event

The moment marked a celebration of Chime’s mission to make financial progress possible for everyday Americans.
Remarks from Chime CEO Chris Britt
Chime CEO and Co-founder Chris Britt, live at Nasdaq:
“This is really a momentous day for all of Chime, the members that we serve. We started this business, Ryan and I, over 12 years ago, with a bold idea to disrupt the status quo in banking. And I think it’s fair to say that we’ve ushered in a new generation of banking that serves the needs of everyday people.
This is a personal effort for me. I grew up in a working-class town, and I saw firsthand how the financial system did not work well for so many everyday people, and I want to thank our members for trusting us. I want to thank all of the Chimers for all of the heart and all the hard work that you put into for our members every day. I want to thank all the families who are by our side, supporting us every day.
We have the opportunity here to build a truly generational company to serve millions of consumers. And my advice to all of the team today is make sure we continue to stay humble. Keep on hustling. We’re 8.6 million active members strong, and we’re just getting started.”
