I have been using Chime for some time…
I have been using Chime for some time now. I haven't had a problem with it for the most part. I just decided I could trust the company enough to use them for direct deposit from my employer. I followed the instruction to set up direct deposit. I logged into my payroll and was told upon successful login I'd be directed back to chime. That didn't happen. Instead I was logged out of chime. Now I can't log back in because my biometric feature isn't available and I've used it so long I've forgotten my password. The phone number I used to sign up is changed and my state issued ID has expired and I'm awaiting a new one. No option to use my email to verify, or options to answer any security questions. I called and was told that I could use my expired ID because it wasn't a year past expired. Not true. I have no way to access my account. BS

Chime is absolutely terrible
Chime is absolutely terrible. I had fraudulent activity on my account and they never investigated it and they never gave me my money back. Don’t ever open an account with Chime.

So far so good what would make this app exceptionally great is if they can tell whether or not, if us as consumers who do online purchases if chime can tell if the site is legitimate or a scam site. That would make them more efficient and easier to work great.

Good in 2019.... terrible now!
I was an early adopter of Chime in 2019 and pushed most of my friendsand family to join. They were good then but have significantly dropped in quality. Several friends have had their card numbers breached and Chime refuses their disputes. Its like pulling teeth to get any customer service. Its all outsourced and I've personally had several rude reps that just hang up on me. A good idea with terrible security that has declined to virtual uselessness. I will be closing all accounts and encourage the same of my friends and family.

Not Worth Your Time or Funds
Chime isn't even a bank so there's no reason to keep your money with them. They don't even have a physical location and you can't get a debit card unless you have Chime+. Yes, you can add money to an account in stores but you can end up losing your money. A scammer stole $100 from me but Chime denied my fraud dispute & appeal. They seem to approve disputes of customers who expose them on the news.

I'm a senior citizen and the options with a Chime account such as spot me and my pay and instant loans, if qualified, are great and a benefit to senior citizens besides myself! Chime should be a big consideration for seniors in banking as they provide some flexibility when you're on a fixed income like social security!!! It's a great bank and has provided me with options that I did not have as a senior citizen with other Banks!

i LOVE Chime! i was a programmer at a big bank years ago, so i really appreciate how great their whole deal is! early direct deposits, realtime updates, great website and app. small loans are easy and quick. one small annoyance is having to go to Walgreens for a free atm to get cash or to deposit cash with a cashier--but i can avoid that most of the time. it is well worth it for the other advantages!

Chime does not protect your money! Horrible company; they are not a bank
Chime does not protect your money or refund it. There is no fraud protection. All they do is deny disputes without even looking at data. They don’t not tell you why they deny it , just send you a form letter. All their representatives are foreign and do not help. Just read answers of a script. A unauthorized charge of $2500 was applied to my account by fraud and Chime will not get my money back. They are rude and do not care about their customers. Everything they market is false advertisement. Your money is not protected with Chime and Stride bank does not protect your money either. Stride will not even respond to my emails. Do not put your money here. I am getting evicted because of this and Chime could care less. Protect your money and mental health and do NOT use Chime.
Look at the response , generic cover your behind response. I have included a police report. I will be adding more documentation however you Chime has yet to explain why it was denied so I can provide the information.

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear about your situation and understand how stressful and urgent this must be for you. Dealing with a $2,500 fraud loss that threatens your housing is a serious emergency.
For denied disputes, the transaction will stay in your account history. If you have new information that was not included in your original dispute, you might be able to file for reinvestigation. Here are additional information that might help with your dispute reinvestigation:
• Police reports
• Hospitalization/Prison record
• Timesheets
• Purchase receipts
• Travel/GPS screenshots or proof of location (flight tickets, reservations, etc.)
Additionally, we want to make sure your account details stay completely secure, so we can't look into specific account details over social media. If you'd like to discuss the details of our investigation, please contact us at 1-844-244-6363. Our team is available to help.

It is always a top priority to keep your identity and personal details safe, so finding out an account was created under your profile is deeply concerning. We take these reports seriously and would like to look into this in more detail.

If you are seeking more detailed information about your account and specific transaction records, we kindly ask that you provide proof of your identity theft claim.

Once you have this documentation, our team will be able to review your case more thoroughly and offer the support you need.

Add another one star review for Chime…
Add another one star review for Chime not to care about.
They are careless about what they pay. As another reviewer said, they are a boon to scammers. Look at all the one star reviews!
Now they seem to have fired or laid off their local customer service and they have AI, which I refuse to deal with and customer service now appears to be offshore because they all have the same accent. What happened to your American workers, Chime? I am actively looks ng for a Chime alternative and when I find one. I'm gone. It's disappointing because there is a lot to like about Chime. But disputes isn't one of them. They are careless.

Child has been the most worst bank that I ever been banking with and I had multiple banks. It was at one point where I had some deposit go to them into my account and yeah, I got the spot me and everything but when I need help at one point I called him and ask him if they could help me out with a spot me bonus increase and they just kept giving me the runaround and one person would say one thing and then I come back another one say another thing and that one point there was one agent that said as soon as we receive your next qualified direct deposit, we could do a spot increase as soon as I got my direct deposit. It was like a whole different ball game because they no one know what the other person said whenever the time came for me to call them again it has been nothing but a headache and I don’t know if I’m gonna keep banking with them because I know there’s other banks online that gives out better offers and bonuses because since I’ve been a member for over a few years more than four years I have never received a promotion bonus or any type of bonus besides a referral bonus that I could get if I referral a friend some of us don’t even have a lot of people that we call friends that we could send a referral bonus out and even get it

Hi Jonathan,
We truly value you as a long-term member. We understand your frustration regarding your current SpotMe limit and want to clarify how you can qualify for a higher limit. As a helpful tip, the SpotMe feature allows you to overdraft your account without a fee. While the maximum possible limit is $200, all new accounts start with a base limit of $20 once eligibility criteria are met. Over time, Chime may automatically increase your limit up to $200 based on your qualifying direct deposit history, spending, and account activity.
You can also temporarily increase your limit by exchanging Boosts and taking advantage of special Chime promotions.
If you have any other questions, please reach out by chatting in the app or calling us at 1-844-244-6363 so we can assist you further.
