From day 1, we’ve focused on making banking better, fairer, and freer

At Chime, our mission is to help everyday people Unlock Financial Progress®. We do that by creating innovative products and services that meet Americans’ needs and support their long-term goals.

First, we focused on making core banking better, with fee-free checking1, fee-free overdraft coverage2, and low-cost access to liquidity. At the same time, we gave every member ways to grow, with easy credit building3, in-app education, always-on support, and more. These alone helped us become America’s #1 choice for banking4—with 9.5 million active members nationwide.

Now, we’re rebuilding rewards

Gone are the days where big balances mean better perks, or where you need to pay for a premium card to get better benefits. Now premium rewards are available just by making us your primary account and receiving qualifying direct deposits. Because we believe that when you commit to us, we should commit right back to you.
