Safer Credit Building Authorization

By turning on Safer Credit Building, you authorize Chime to automatically make transfers from your Secured Deposit Account to your Card Account to pay off the monthly Billing Statement’s Total Due (terms as defined in Chime Credit Card Agreement) for that Card Account. The amount of each payment will be the Total Due for the relevant month’s Billing Statement. You choose the “Selected Payment Date” for automatic payments, which can be either 1 or 10 days after your Statement Date (as defined in Chime Credit Card Agreement).

1. Automatic Payments for the Card Account. By turning on “Safer Credit Building” at enrollment and at any time thereafter through the settings menu in the Chime app, you have elected to enable automatic payments from your Secured Deposit Account to your Credit Builder Card Account. You do not need to enable automatic payments to be able to deposit funds into the Secured Account or make purchases with your Credit Builder Card. Your access to credit and the “Available to Spend Amount” will be determined in the same manner whether or not you enable automatic payments. If you enable automatic payments, you authorize transfer of funds from your Secured Deposit Account in the amount of the Total Due as reflected in your monthly Credit Builder Card Account statement to be used to pay your Chime Credit Builder Card balance after the Statement Date. See Section II(K)(b) of the Chime Credit Card Agreement for details. If an automatic payment attempt is not completed on the Selected Payment Date, you authorize subsequent daily attempts until the automatic payment is completed in full.
2. You have the right to receive notice of your automatic payment amount ten (10) days prior to the payment occurring. By agreeing to “Build Credit Safely” or selecting one (1) day notice in the application settings, you agree to opt-out of ten (10) days’ notice and instead will have your automatic payment applied one (1) day after the Statement Date so long as the payment amount falls within the range between $0.00 and the total amount you’ve transferred into the Secured Account. If the payment falls outside that range, your automatic payment will be limited to the amount in your Secured Account, and you will have twenty-one (21) days from the Statement Date to pay the remaining amount due. You may change your notice period between the one (1) and ten (10) day options at any time in the Settings menu. The amount of each Secured Deposit Account Transfer is based on each Billing Statement’s Total Due. If that amount would cause your Secured Deposit Account balance to dip below $0, payment of the entire Secured Deposit Account balance will be made to your Card Account, and you will have until your current due date to pay off the remaining amount due. You agree that we will continue to make the Secured Deposit Account Transfers in the amount due as reflected in your Billing Statement’s Total Due and according to your Safer Credit Building selections unless you cancel your authorization or make a manual payment to your Card Account.
3. Our Liability for Failure to Make Transfers. If we do not complete a Transfer to or from your Secured Account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable for instance:

   (5) if the system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the Transfer;

   (6) if circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the Transfer, despite reasonable precautions we have taken; or

   (7) if there are other exceptions stated in our agreements with you.
