About

Mission

Don’t call us a bank

Chime® is a financial technology company that believes basic banking services should be helpful, easy, and free. We offer better banking products and services by addressing the fundamental misalignment in the industry between what’s good for banks and what’s good for consumers. We want to profit with our members, not from them. That’s why Chime doesn’t rely on overdraft fees, monthly service fees, or minimum balance requirements. Feels like progress™.

To unite everyday people to unlock their financial progress. By eliminating unnecessary fees and simplifying the credit building process, we’ve empowered millions of everyday people to take control of their finances.

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® for Credit Builder is an optional, no interest/no fee overdraft line of credit tied to the Secured Deposit Account. SpotMe on Debit is an optional, no fee service attached to your Chime Checking Account (individually or collectively, “SpotMe”). Eligibility for SpotMe requires $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 their Secured Deposit Account up to $20 in total, but may be later eligible for a higher combined limit of up to $200 or more based on member’s Chime account history, direct deposit frequency and amount, spending activity and other risk-based factors. Your SpotMe Limit will be displayed to you within the Chime mobile app. You will receive notice of any changes to your SpotMe Limit. Your SpotMe Limit may change at any time, at Chime or its banking partners’ discretion. Although there are no overdraft fees, there may be out-of-network or third party fees associated with ATM transactions or OTC cash withdrawal fees at retailers. SpotMe® won't cover non card transactions, including ACH transfers, Pay Anyone transfers, or Chime Checkbook transactions. SpotMe Terms and Conditions.

SpotMe® Boost: Boosts are available to eligible Chime members enrolled in SpotMe® and are subject to monthly limits.

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 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.
