    I’m confused every month. Am I going to receive my check 5 days early or 3 days early and they say it’s because of the weekends which isn’t true. Also this new MyPay advance sometimes it’s 500 or 300 and they say it’s because the deposit is different or you did something different. Excuses all the time. My deposit is the same every month and I do exactly the same with my money. So now I’ll have to do things differently and not depend on Chime.

    I started out very happy with Chime but then a bad thing happened when my phone took a crap. They will no longer let me have access to my account on my new phone which means I can't check my balance like I used to and being a disabled ** veteran on a very strict budget, I need to keep track of my account balances and also since I have no access I cannot authorize the extra money part they promised and was able to use until this happened!!!! Just so everyone knows as soon as my SSDI is given to my new card account, I am cutting up my Chime cards and throwing them away as fast as possible since I am that dissatisfied with them. I know that since this review is so negative, it will probably be hidden and never show up, but if it even helps 1 person will make me happy.

    Chime prevented me from accessing their MyPay feature due to fact a live representative advised me because I haven't received a "qualifying deposit" of $200 or more in the last 36 days. However, I received a deposit from my Long Term Disability Provider in the amount of $2,740.00 on May 27th.. Chime told me because it came from LTD it doesn't qualify. Money is money. So now, because I'm on LTD until I return to work I have no access to MyPay. The IRS absolutely considers it income and applies applicable tax.

    The card comes fast in the mail and easy to use. Even a virtual card is given. Only reports to credit report companies twice a month. Dumb.

    Chime has to be the worst company that I have dealt with, to date. I have received no usable help from them at all. This morning, I downloaded their app, created an account, and deposited some money into my account. Later, I linked my personal bank account with them and got it verified. When I tried to transfer my money from the Chime account into my bank account, they wouldn't let me have my money. They say that I have to wait several days for their debit card to be delivered to me, and I have to activate it first. I fail to see what a debit card has to do with me making an online transfer. Their customer service people are no help at all. They make you jump through so many hoops just to even get to talk to a person...who you can barely understand, anyway. None of them can seem to figure out how to help me, so my money is just being held hostage. I would NOT recommend doing business with Chime.

    Chime is committing fraud by promoting sign-on bonuses that they do not honor. Spent over three hours on the phone just for them to tell me that although I did complete all of the sign on bonus requirements the sign on bonus cannot be applied because the code is not in their system. I have never dealt with such an unprofessional institution. By the way, Chime is not a bank rather a financial technology company and they are not FDIC rather the banking services are offered by The Bancorp Bank, N.A. or Stride Bank, N.A. which are member of FDIC. This company needs to be investigated for consumer fraud.

    I have had Chime for over a year and have had no issues until this past month and a half. I have had two transactions appear on my account that I did not approve. I tried to dispute those and was told they were pending and I had to wait until they processed. Well they processed and now I'm told that it could take 45-90 days to get my money back. This is ridiculous when it could have been handled the day the transaction showed up on my account. It didn't take 45-90 days to take my money, so why should it take that long to get it back.

They took over a week to “complete” the investigation and then decided to denied my dispute without of contacting me to give my information. The email didn’t gave me any information on why they denied and just closed the dispute without any explanation.

    I’ve been a loyal Chime customer since 2019. I had my direct deposits, bill payments, and even my state IRS refund set to go into my Chime account. I referred my wife, friends, and coworkers, and I received multiple referral rewards because I genuinely believed in the service. One day, without any prior notice, I woke up to find my account had been closed. There were no emails, texts, or alerts beforehand. When I called customer service, I was told that “Rule 9” was the reason—and that legally, they could not tell me anything further. I was shocked. No explanation, no warning, and absolutely no accountability. This experience was not just financially disruptive, but emotionally devastating. I had bills pending, a tax refund on the way, and no way to access my funds.

    Chime treated me like a number, not a person. For a company that markets itself as modern and customer-friendly, this was anything but. If you’re considering banking with Chime, please be aware that they reserve the right to close your account at any time with no notice and no reason. What happened to me could happen to anyone, and you won’t get answers or recourse.

    Updated on 6/26/2025: First, it takes forever to talk to a real person. And then when you do, you can't understand them because they don't speak English. Once you get your point across, they will tell you a lie and a heartbeat. They will tell you we can get you your card in 10 to 7 days. 15-20 days later, you still don't have your card. The time representative will sympathize with you, but then they will go ahead and tell you there is nothing I can do. I put in the order for your card 37 days ago. You should have it by now. If you don't have it we can put in for another card. And round and round you go.

    Original review: For some reason, my Chime card got canceled. I went on the Chime site and tried to get it fixed. Couldn't do it. So I called time, and after about 37 minutes of waiting actually got a customer service representative. Turns out they couldn't help me very much. What they could do is send me a new card. They say it takes 7 to 10 days, but previous experience say it's more like 15 to 20 days. The customer service representative couldn't speak English. I couldn't understand her. But that's Chime.

I tried to get help and it wasn't easy finding their customer service number because they want you to look on the help page first to see if you can just read a help article to solve your problem with their app. Then when I finally found their customer service number, I had to talk to a AI bot for 5 or 6 minutes before I can even get to talk to a human. The person is foreign and barely spoke english and tells me that they won't accept my check in the app, because I have to transfer at least $1 from an external bank account, which is going to take 7 days. Then when I'm finally able to deposit my check, I have to wait another 6 days for it to post to my account. So I have to wait 2 weeks just to get access to my money.

    The customer service rep didn't even solve my problem or even offer an accommodation for the inconvenience. Also there were no disclaimers before hand about having to fulfill the requirements of depositing $1 first or having to write on the back of the check "for mobile deposit to chime account only". So I didn't even have a chance to change my mind about using their bank and deciding to go with my other bank. So I was stuck having to wait 2 weeks to deposit my money in my chime account because the check can't be deposited into another bank since they made me write on the back "for mobile deposit in chime account". This wouldn't have happened if I would've used my capital one bank or another banking app, so now I regret trying to use chime and after my check deposits and I have access to my money, I will be closing my account with Chime and never using their services again. They lost me as a customer.

    All I see are the o how I love Chime reviews, so I am sure mine will not ever be posted, I have had to make written complaints to my state's banking oversight, the feds, the nc attorney general's office also, BBB, which is another waste of time, this chime bank company is nothing more than a rip off, they have allowed institutions to continue to take funds out of my account even after they the bank replaced the cards issued by chime to stop the thieves from doing this, the funds continued to come out of my account, it wasn't until I made complaints to authorities that chime stopped the funds from exiting my account then resent out my cards which took 2 weeks.

    2 weeks no money because of their idiots they employ, these people barely can speak English let alone understand what you tell them again in simple English, which they don't speak in nor understand, they talk right over you because they don't understand what it is you're saying to them....

They are in Korea or other countries because they are paid cents an hour instead of dollars like they would be if they were workers here in the USA...

    This is another problem they have caused by not having competent people working for them in the 1st place.. Terrible rotten people to deal with, and when it's your money and you can't get to it because they don't know what to do is criminal.... and they should not be allowed to do business in the USA. Complex banking that requires one to be interactive with their bank. This bank is not for you, run away from it, they have tied up over 16 grand on me for over a month....

    In 2019, Chime deactivated my card without any warning, notification, or explanation. I only discovered the issue when I attempted to use my card and found it no longer worked. I was never informed in advance, and no clear reason was given. Because of this, I had no choice but to close my account out of frustration and concern over the security of my funds. At the time of closure, there was still money in my Chime account, but I was never refunded that balance.

    I made multiple attempts to contact Chime support to retrieve my funds, but I received no resolution. I was locked out of the account entirely and could not access any statements or request a refund. I trusted Chime to manage my money responsibly, and I feel their lack of transparency and refusal to return my funds is both unfair and unethical. I am requesting the return of the remaining balance that was in my account when I closed it due to their poor communication and handling.

    I had no issues with Chime as one of my bank accounts for years. Recently, they decided to cancel my debit card unbeknownst to me. My card did not expire yet (it would in a month). I initially called in to let them know customer support because I received an email saying I should received my new card by now. I expressed I had not (still unaware my current card was cancelled) and wanted to confirm my mailing address and sending a new card. I was then notified that my current card was already cancelled. I asked why this happened since I did mot request or authorize this especially since I did not have a new replacement card yet. The representative I spoke with did not have an answer.

    I escalated to a manager or “higher up” and was told “you requested this through the app.” I let them know this was incorrect and the “higher up” proceeded to argue with me. This is unacceptable and I have since moved my funds elsewhere. Very poor customer service experience and I can not recommend others to this platform. You shouldn’t take canceling cards lightly as funds are used for numerous auto payments. On a side note, I waited another 7 days and still did not receive my replacement card. I was told this was the timeframe and confirmed my address.

There is a feature called MyPay which is basically a small cash advance. Part of the amount you get is determined by certain factors, one of which is linking your payroll provider. For months, this feature worked fine. Then all of a sudden chime drops the connection. I talk to Chime, several times, and each person I talk to tells me something different. One person even told me inaccurate information, and I know it’s an accurate because I read the terms and services. They said they would escalate and try and get the issue resolved, and I never heard back from them.

    Most recently I have been experiencing an issue where chime will not let me transfer money from a different bank account into my Chime account. Again, talk to multiple people each person giving me a different answer. Multiple times they told me that it was with my external bank. I called my external bank, they said they approved the transfer and chime was the one that rejected it. I told this to chime, chime said they would escalate it. The response I got was instructions on how to link my debit card to my chime account, which was the issue that I was facing. It wasn’t that I didn’t know how to link my card, the issue is that it was not allowing me to transfer with that linked card.

    I called them back to let them know that their specialist did not read the ticket properly, and the supervisor I was speaking to chose to tell me that I was wrong, even though the previous supervisor agreed that the issue was on their end.

    I opened account in 2023. It seemed great in the beginning. Well I've just had my first and Last dispute with them. My friend has Cash App, I tried sending her 12 dollars. I did something wrong and she never received it. I contacted Chime right away and was told that my friend has a Chime account and it was delivered to her?.. I kept saying No she doesn't have an account there. But the rep refused to listen or help me. And said there was nothing they could do it was delivered to right person. I asked to speak with Supervisor and was told that They would tell me the same thing as she did. I said there must be someone with the same name can you check?, She said no it's her, who you sent it too. I hung up and filed a dispute the next morning. I just received their response and I was denied!! I can't believe it, they are rude, impolite, and dishonest

    They are Thieves!!! Don't do business with them. They won't have your back if things go wrong and won't give you back, What is rightfully yours. Customers like myself aged, disabled and on a fixed income will be Wronged by them and taken advantage of. They don't care about you. Their reps are cold, and just unhelpful the company is crooked.

    Chime's security procedures have severely impacted my ability to access my funds. After breaking my phone and losing my wallet (including my ID), I was locked out of my account as the app requires phone number verification. I was informed that I needed a valid ID to regain access. Upon receiving a temporary replacement driver's license, I contacted Chime, verified my identity, and explained that the permanent ID would take 2-3 weeks to arrive. Despite this, Chime has refused to grant me access to my account.

    This lack of access has resulted in significant financial distress. My rent is now overdue, and I lack funds for essential needs as my paycheck is directly deposited into my Chime account. Furthermore, I received conflicting information from Chime representatives. Initially, I was told that a picture of my temporary ID would suffice for access. However, after providing the picture, I was informed this was incorrect, and I was given an apology for the misinformation from a supervisor. I was then told I could verify my identity over the phone and receive information about my account, but I would still be unable to conduct transactions, transfer funds, or pay bills due to the inability to access the app.

    Adding to these issues, approximately three weeks ago, I reported an unauthorized transaction while I was out of state. Despite giving Chime the information that I was out of state, and without any further verification, they still sent replacement cards to the out-of-state address I provided them. Alarmingly, they did not request any ID verification when sending these new cards to this address, directly contradicting the strict security measures they are now using to deny me access to my own funds. This inconsistency in their security measures demonstrates a clear lack of reliable and logical protocols. Chime's rigid policies, inconsistent communication, and apparent disregard for the urgent financial situations of their customers are unacceptable. I strongly advise caution when considering Chime for banking services due to their seemingly arbitrary and flawed security practices.

    I have banked with Chime for about 7 years. I never really had any issues that could not be fixed until yesterday. On yesterday I made deposit of 300 on my card to shop with. The load posted to my account then chime withdrew it. My chime app relex the adjustment yet chime still denied it. I have my receipts from Walgreens confirming the payment posted successfully. So basically chime is pointing the finger at Walgreens and vice verse. Chime is not a traditional bank so you can’t walk into a branch to speak with someone. So if both parties are denying that it’s not their fault. Who do we go to? I am out of 300 dollars and no one can give me an explanation. These companies are allowed to take our money with no consequences. I will not be doing business with chime ever again.

    Opening a Chime account has been the worst decision I have ever made. I received Social Security Disability with my payment date on the 3rd of each month. I have spoken with Social Security and have the tracking number for the deposit, but Chime has not credited this deposit and has given me conflicting information each 4 times I have called them about this. The lastest they are telling me it has to go through their process and cannot tell me when it will be credited to my account.

    Mind you I am to receive this payment on the 3rd of each month and have never had a problem until today, and trying to work with Chime and get a valid reason why they are keeping my money had been a nightmare. The fact that I am on disability means I'm on a limited income and due to Chime's refusal to credit my account the money they have received has me having late fee charges on bill payments, inability to pay my rent or buy groceries. This is beyond unacceptable practices by Chime. I will be ending my relationship with Chime May 1st, and filing complaints and conferring with an attorney regarding their practices and the problems they have cost me. I'm happy I recorded the conversations I had with Chime so that I can prove the contraindications in what they told me. I highly recommend not banking with Chime as they are dishonest in all aspects and out of the blue you may find yourself dealing with the same or similar problems

    Chime unsecured destroyed my credit. I added a direct deposit to it of about $400 a month which was just a small portion of my overall pay. Experian looked at that $400 as if it was my entire pay because Chime could not link to my main checking account at my credit union. Out of that $400, I set up about $100 in automatic payments from Chime and transferred the rest to my credit union checking account. Chime and Experian used that to pretend that my entire income was going to debtors (i.e., this guy has $400 coming and going each month to bills).

    In addition, the three or four automatic payments I added to Chime provided one 30-point boost which was gone the very next month because the age of those accounts was now considered too new. Therefore my total boost by the second month was zero. Obviously Chime and Experian have arranged this scam to coerce you into adding your entire direct deposit and all your bills to them. Meanwhile, there are many much better banks and credit unions available. I advise you to skip Chime and Experian.

They abruptly, and without warning canceled my Chime account without warning for what I can only guess was my direct deposits not coming in anymore due to me having to leave my job for dv reasons. A little education and customer service would have been nice as I was with them for years but instead, I got a letter saying my account was closed for reasons they don't have to disclose. Very disappointing and they are now negatively impacting my credit for years to come. Far better banks and ways to build credit than Chime.

I spoke with five different representatives, and not only did none of them have answers, but they also lied multiple times. When I pressed for clarity, they disconnected the call—without any profanity or hostility on my part—simply because they didn’t know what to say. Their communication was terrible; I could barely understand them, yet I clearly heard them chuckling in the background. The rudeness was beyond unprofessional. If you value decent customer service, stay far away from Chime. Trying to get a simple issue resolved feels like pulling teeth, and half the time, they either give conflicting information or just ignore your concerns altogether.

After a while of direct deposits, they allow you to get "advances" which is always great BUT they only put $9 or $12 on each day so it takes 3 days before you can touch it because you must have $20 to withdraw. They do this because they charge a $2 fee if you NEED it instantly, so they are getting rich off the $2 fee each and every time.

    They know we are poor so we will need it by 3 days. Why make something available and have a $20 limit to withdrawal when they only deposit $9, $7 then the remaining of the $20. Why not just put the whole $20 on there in the first place, oh I forgot, it's all about their $2 instant fee charge or the option to wait a whole 24 hours for free but again we are poor and need it right then.

Also they have the audacity to have rude customer service agents and supervisors. I thought you cared trying. You don't care about the stress you're causing me. You don't care about the frustration of dealing with your customer service people. Why don't you take care of your customers like they take care of you and let their money come into you? I'm praying God gives me a way for more income and I know he will so that I don't need them I pay feature.

    Chime is not the best choice unless you have no other choice! So I have banked with Chime for four years and I'm currently looking for a better bank. Chime debit card is functional but their credit card isn't worth the hassle. It's not accept at an overwhelming amount of places. It can't be use to rent a car, or for payment option no other institutions trust them. The my pay option is a set up. It will give you a larger amount based on what income you have going in but the problem with this is after you pay them back you will not have that full balance available again it allows you to take it out in small increments. So let say you income tax comes in chime will boost your balance to let's say for the sake of the example $500 now when your regular pay check come in they are going to take their $500 back and then make it available in your my pay.

    So the next time they take the $500 it will be available again but this time it's not the whole $500 it's been decreased to $425 and you can only pull it out in increments of 25 unless you wait until two or three weeks for the total $425 to be available. So bottom line don't count on the money you borrow for bills unless the can wait until close to your next pay period. If you're on a fix income please don't fall for you'll find yourself in a serious bind. I'm not going to attempt to talk about the spot me. It's not worth the time.

    "I've been a Chime customer for over two years, and they've consistently exceeded expectations. In under a year, their Credit Builder feature delivered a significant 40+ point increase to my credit score. Beyond the impressive credit growth, their financial guidance has been invaluable. Recently, I experienced exceptional customer service from Belle, who handled a duplicate charge issue with patience, professionalism, and genuine comfort. Chime stands out as a reliable and supportive financial partner, offering effective tools and top-tier service. Highly recommended, especially for anyone seeking tangible credit improvement and outstanding customer support."

    Won't let me leave 0 stars. This place is a joke. Just deposited my paycheck. They're telling me I must wait another 7 days for access to the funds, and there's nothing they can do. They can't reverse it so I can go to a real bank and cash it. Gave me the runaround. Would not tell me any of their names or where they were located. Asked if they were going to take care of my overdraft, late, and reconnect fees and all they could do is stutter. Customer service is a joke and they don't care one but about anyone but themselves. They better pray to whatever God they pray to that my funds are released sooner. I live on a military base in Arizona and this is how they treat people who will die for their freedom, makes me want to use them as a decoy.

    I transferred forty dollars from my Chime checking account to my credit builder card. I used a chime ATM to withdraw the funds and I didn't receive them but I got a receipt acting as if it released the funds. I contact chime immediately to let them know and they said the system would update the next day and the funds would be credited back. Long story short I never received my money. They told me they have 90 days to make a decision.

    Chime’s security is insufficient, allowing hackers to link an unauthorized account to my Chime account. A hacker breached Chime’s system and linked an unrecognized external bank account ending in #**, with routing number ** (a hacker’s bank account in Florida), to my Chime account. As a result, transfer was directed to the hacker’s account instead of mine. The scammer manipulated the system, replacing the linked external bank account with their own, leading to unauthorized transfer from my Chime account directly into their account. Despite multiple calls to Chime, they failed to acknowledge the fraudulent linked account, refused to chase down the fraudulent linked account, and took no corrective action to resolve the issue.

    "WARNING TO ALL WHO ARE THINKING OF USING THIS BANK" "DON'T!" Banks are supposed to protect your money and Chime most certainly will not. When I got sent a message of a suspicious activity on my account I immediately informed them it wasn't me and froze my card and account. That should have been the end of it but it wasn't. They put the charge through anyway (for a very large amount). After I called them and disputed the charges they told me I had to wait 10-20 business days for it to be resolved. After almost 2 weeks I received an email that "no error had occurred". I'm disabled and on a fixed income and I only shop at 3 places with this card that was used. They were informed of this when I first filed a complaint and if they had really investigated this they would have seen that, but when I contacted them this last time they actually laughed at my situation.

    This company not only is unprofessional and shameful, they will do nothing to make sure your money is kept safe. That's the whole purpose of the bank and if they can't protect mine then they sure as hell won't protect yours. Also, I'm not a new customer. I've been with this bank for going on 5 years and even though there has been a few hiccups, it has been alright. But even if they were refund the money they help steel from me, ask yourself do you want to deal with a company that's supposed to protect one of the most important assets you have? Your money? Please, please, please avoid at all costs so this doesn't happen to you. There are must better options out there.

    My only complaint about Chime is their policy that you have to have a direct deposit every 34 days to qualify for and keep access to SpotMe and MyPay. I'm a senior citizen and my only income is Social Security retirement benefits, and I'm sure there are many of seniors who use Chime. There are a few times per year that there is a period of 35 days between the monthly Social Security payments. Seems slightly discriminatory against senior citizens. We can't change the Social Security payment schedule, but Chime could change their policy by adding ONE DAY to their requirement.

    I have been trying for nearly nine months to get these clowns to release the money from a deceased relative's account. I have all the paperwork, death certificate, etc. The guy I spoke to on the phone sounded like a teenager and told me to send the info in by email. This was after I looked on their website and it told me I had to call them. Don't even bother calling them, I'm warning you, they are unprofessional and useless.

    I have sent them the info numerous times and they always say there's something missing. I sent the info in the format they list as acceptable; I'm told it needs to be in a different format. I send it in in the new format, wait about two months, and they email me back and say that they need different paperwork. Their links always expire within an hour and you never know when they're going to send them, so it's a constant back-and-forth with them. The most unprofessional, unethical company I have ever had to deal with, and they have made an already stressful time for me even more stressful. RUN from Chime.

    I used Chime for four years straight, and never had any issue. Until somebody went on an unauthorized shopping spree with my debit card. Chime's fraud prevention system caught most of the charges, but there was one they did not catch. I don't know how chime can reasonably suggest that some of the charges made on this random website are fraudulent, but the other charges that were made on this website at the exact same time are not. Clearly, if a $600 rental car was fraud, so is the $300 hotel room made a few minutes later. When I filed the dispute, I thought it was odd how chime was giving me the third degree. Well hindsight is 2020 and now I understand why they were doing that.

    Chime makes their money by keeping yours. That's what they do. As long as you never have fraud on your account, chime is a great alternative to a bank. But just remember, if anybody ever drains the money out of your account, chime will not pay it back willingly. And you don't have to believe me. Just Google "chime disputes." Unfortunately, they have a long history of shady business practices. Do yourself a favor, before the you know what hits the fan, just go ahead and switch to a bank that has a little less fraud in their history. There are lots of reputable banks out there, but chime is not one of them.

    I opened the Chime account and put $50 in it 2 days ago. Then I realized I could not use the Chime virtual card which their website says I can and that my virtual Chime card has been activated. What I've tried to use it it tells me the card has not been activated. I call in and the people tell me they have activated it. Now I'm being told that I can't do anything until I get my physical card which will be February 5th. Therefore I have $50 tied up with chime that I cannot access until February 5th. This is not what they claim when you open an account. They claim that you have instant access to your money. These people are liars. These people are scam artists. These people need to be investigated by the federal government and they need to be closed down. They do not need to be in business. They are totally unprofessional and can't be trusted!
