About

Mission

Don’t call us a bank

Chime is a financial technology company founded on the premise that basic banking services should be helpful, easy, and free. We want to profit with our members, not from them. That’s why our model doesn’t rely on overdraft, monthly service, or minimum balance fees.

We partner with banks to design member-first financial products. This creates a more competitive market with better, lower-cost options for everyday Americans who aren’t being served well by traditional banks. We help drive innovation, inclusion, and access across the industry.

We created Chime because we believe everyone deserves financial peace of mind. We’re building a new kind of online bank account that helps members get ahead by making managing money easy.

Chime is a consumer fintech company and not a bank so we should not be referred to as “Chime Bank”. Chime partners with The Bancorp Bank, N.A. and Stride Bank, N.A., Members FDIC, that power the bank accounts used by Chime Members.

“Thanks to Chime’s SpotMe¹ feature, I played the superhero and saved the day: I was able to get baby formula and food for my family, as well as transportation to work.”

-Daniel S.

“Chime has been a great help in my day-to-day routine. App notifications help me keep track of where my money’s going; the Pay Friends feature allows me to send funds to my daughter, and SpotMe¹ helps me when I'm in a pinch.”

-Tanya A.

"As a mother of five children, there have been times where I couldn't afford groceries. SpotMe¹ covered $45 dollars that I needed for all my groceries. I cried on the way home."

-Latoya T.

"Adulting is always hard. By a certain age, you already want certain things to be lined up—credit especially. Chime’s Credit Builder card⁴ has provided the best way to get a jump start on the financial status I want."

-Ari W.

1 SpotMe® on Credit is an optional, no interest / no fee overdraft line of credit tied to the Secured Deposit Account available to qualifying members with an active Chime Credit Builder Account. SpotMe on Debit is an optional, no fee overdraft service attached to the Chime Checking Account available to qualifying members after Visa debit card activation. Both SpotMe on Credit and SpotMe on Debit are sometimes collectively referred to as "SpotMe" or, if you have signed up to use SpotMe with only one account, "SpotMe" means the elected service. To qualify for SpotMe, you must receive $200 or more in qualifying direct deposits to your Chime Checking Account each month.

Qualifying members will be allowed to overdraw their Chime Checking Account and/or Secured Deposit Account (associated with your Chime Credit Builder credit card) up to $20, but may be later eligible for a higher limit of up to $200 or more based on Chime account history, direct deposit frequency and amount, spending activity and other risk-based factors. The SpotMe limit will be displayed within the Chime mobile app and is subject to change at any time, at Chime’s sole discretion. Although Chime does not charge any overdraft fees for SpotMe, there may be out-of-network or third-party fees associated with ATM transactions. SpotMe Debit Terms and Conditions and SpotMe on Credit Terms and Conditions.

2 Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from the payer. We generally make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to 2 days earlier than the scheduled payment date.

3 Round Ups automatically round up debit card purchases to the nearest dollar and transfer the round up from your Chime Checking Account to your Savings Account. Save When I Get Paid automatically transfers 10% of your direct deposits of $500 or more from your Checking Account into your Savings Account.

4 To apply for Credit Builder, you must have received a single qualifying direct deposit of $200 or more to your Chime Checking Account. The qualifying direct deposit must be from your employer, payroll provider, gig economy payer, or benefits payer by Automated Clearing House (ACH) deposit OR Original Credit Transaction (OCT). Bank ACH transfers, Pay Anyone transfers, verification or trial deposits from financial institutions, peer to peer transfers from services such as PayPal, Cash App, or Venmo, mobile check deposits, cash loads or deposits, one-time direct deposits, such as tax refunds and other similar transactions, and any deposit to which Chime deems to not be a qualifying direct deposit are not qualifying direct deposits.
