How do refunds work?

After a merchant issues a refund, it usually takes up to five business days for the money to appear in your account. Keep in mind that this processing timeline is based on when the merchant issues the refund back to your account. Any processing timelines on the merchant’s side are out of our control. There’s nothing that Chime can do to speed up refunds.

Frequently asked questions

Can I track my refund’s status?

As soon as the merchant issues the refund and your money is on its way, you can track its progress in your Chime app. When your money arrives, we'll let you know.

It's best to contact the merchant if five business days have passed and you still haven't received your refund. Online merchants may provide tracking information on their websites. Trying searching the web for their name plus "refunds" or "returns."

What if I couldn’t get a refund from the merchant?
