The Chime Visa Debit Card is a revolutionary financial tool designed for modern banking needs. Issued by The Bancorp Bank or Stride Bank, this card offers a seamless banking experience without the burden of monthly fees, minimum balance requirements, or overdraft charges that traditional banks typically impose.
With features like early direct deposit, automatic round-up savings, and SpotMe overdraft protection, Chime empowers you to take control of your finances. The card is accepted everywhere Visa is accepted, and you can access over 60,000 fee-free ATMs nationwide through the Allpoint, MoneyPass, and Visa Plus Alliance networks.
What is the Chime Visa Debit Card?
The Chime Visa Debit Card is a fee-free debit card linked to your Chime Spending Account. It allows you to make purchases, withdraw cash from ATMs, and manage your money through the Chime mobile app without paying monthly maintenance fees or minimum balance requirements.
Does Chime charge any monthly fees?
No, Chime does not charge monthly maintenance fees, overdraft fees, or minimum balance fees. There are also no foreign transaction fees. However, out-of-network ATM withdrawals may incur fees from the ATM operator.
How does Chime's early direct deposit work?
When your employer or the government sends your direct deposit, Chime makes the funds available as soon as they receive the transfer notification—up to 2 days earlier than traditional banks. This feature is automatic and free for all Chime members with qualifying direct deposits.
What is SpotMe and how does it work?
SpotMe is Chime's fee-free overdraft feature that allows eligible members to overdraw their account by up to $200 on debit card purchases without incurring overdraft fees. To qualify, you need to receive at least $200 in qualifying direct deposits monthly. Limits start at $20 and may increase based on account history.
Is Chime a real bank? Is my money safe?
Chime is a financial technology company, not a bank. However, banking services are provided by The Bancorp Bank, N.A. or Stride Bank, N.A., both FDIC members. Your deposits are FDIC insured up to $250,000, providing the same protection as traditional banks.
How to Get Your Chime Debit Card
