FAQs

What are some of Chime’s security practices?

Our top priority is protecting our members’ money and their data. In order to achieve this, we apply at least 128-bit AES encryption, we regularly review and update access control policies to our systems, and we routinely test our product to ensure your money is safe with Chime.  If you notice an unauthorized transaction, you can disable transactions on your Chime card immediately in the settings section of the Chime app and website to prevent further unauthorized card transactions. You should contact Chime to report the unauthorized card transactions. Please see the information above on how to contact us.

Can you use your Chime Visa Debit Card in other countries?

You can use your Chime Debit Card anywhere Visa cards are accepted, including outside the U.S. and with no foreign transaction fees! International transactions can be enabled or disabled in the settings menu found in the Chime mobile banking app.

What do I do if I don't recognize a transaction in my Checking or Savings Account?

If you do not recognize a transaction in your Checking Account or Credit Builder, we ask that you temporarily block your debit card and/or credit card:

  • Use the Chime mobile app or log in to your account at www.chime.com.
  • Go to Settings, Account Settings and turn off Allow transactions. This feature immediately prevents new purchases and ATM transactions on your Chime Visa Debit Card account and/or Chime Credit Builder Secured Visa Credit Card.
  • Contact us immediately in one of these ways:
    • Call us at 1-844-244-6363
    • Use the Chime mobile app to contact our support team
