Can I use SpotMe® with Credit Builder?

Yes, you can use SpotMe with your Chime Credit Builder Visa® Credit Card. Here’s how it works:

  • SpotMe covers purchases and cash withdrawals made with your Chime Credit Builder Visa® Credit Card up to your SpotMe limit if you're eligible and have the feature enabled in your app
  • If you use SpotMe with your Credit Builder card, Chime will deduct the negative balance from your next direct deposit or transfer of funds into your Credit Builder secured deposit account, whichever comes first.
  • Your SpotMe limit is shared between both your Chime Visa® Debit Card and Credit Builder card. This applies to both purchases and ATM withdrawals.

Note that using SpotMe with your Credit Builder card doesn’t affect your credit scores or credit reporting.
