Chime Mobile Check Deposit Without Direct Deposit

Chime is a financial technology company. Banking services provided by The Bancorp Bank or Stride Bank, N.A.; Members FDIC.

Our mission is to make financial peace of mind a reality for everyone. We’re doing that by changing the way people feel about banking. Chime’s business was built on the principle of protecting our members and making managing your money easy. We’ll never profit from your misfortune or mistakes and everything we build is focused on improving our member’s lives.

Unlike traditional banks that may charge consumers fees left, right, and center, Chime makes money from “interchange.” Every time you use your Chime Debit Card, Visa processes the transaction and charges an interchange fee for the service. We get a percentage of that interchange fee every time you use your Chime Debit Card, which means we never have to charge you those unnecessary fees to run our business. It’s a win-win for everyone!

U.S. Citizens 18 years and older are welcome to apply! While Chime cards work all over the world, currently we can only offer accounts to members with a valid SSN, living in the United States and District of Columbia.

We don’t believe in unnecessary fees or profiting from our members’ misfortune. We have no fees to sign up, no overdraft, no monthly or service fees, no minimum balance fees, no transaction fees, and no card replacement fees either. We do charge one fee ($2.50) when you get cash from either an over the counter withdrawal, or an out-of-network ATM that is not part of Chime’s fee-free network of 38,000+ ATMs.

Please note that third-party money transfer services used to deposit or withdraw funds to your Chime Spending Account may impose their own fees per transaction.

Yes! Chime’s SpotMe feature lets you make debit card purchases that overdraw your account with no overdraft fees. Limits start at $20 and can be increased up to $100.³ We’ll spot you when you need that little extra cushion to cover an expense. Learn more here!

When you open a Chime Spending Account you get a Chime Debit Card that can be used at any merchant that accepts Visa. Your Chime Debit Card can also be used with mobile-payment providers such as Apple PayTM, Google PayTM or Samsung PayTM. Other features our members love about our Chime Visa Debit Card are instant transaction notifications anytime your card is swiped, the ability to instantly block your card and order a replacement Debit Card all from within the Chime mobile app.

The Chime Credit Builder Visa® Credit Card is our no fee, no interest, secured credit card that helps you build your credit. Unlike traditional credit cards, Credit Builder helps you build credit with no fees and no interest. There’s also no credit check to apply. The money you move into Credit Builder’s secured account is the amount you can spend on the card. Unlike other secured credit cards, that money can be used to pay off your monthly balances. Since Credit Builder doesn’t have a pre-set limit, spending up to the amount you added won’t contribute to a high-utilization record on your credit history. Learn more about how Credit Builder works.

After you open a Spending Account, we get started on personalizing your new Chime Visa Debit Card. Your Chime Visa Debit Card is usually placed in the mail within one (1) business day after you open your Spending Account. It can take 5 to 10 business days for your Chime Visa Debit Card to arrive at your home address.

If you don’t have your Chime Visa Debit Card within 10 business days after opening your Spending Account, please contact our Member Services team at: support@chime.com

You can set up direct debit payments with billers who offer this option by providing your account and routing number to the merchant.

Direct debits are immediately removed from your Spending Account when requested by a biller and do not place any hold on your funds. If your balance is not sufficient to cover the payment, it will be declined. There are no limits or fees associated with direct debits.
