Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my external debit card not linking?
The name and address on your Chime account must match exactly with what’s on your external debit card. Make sure the card is active and supports transfers. If you're still unable to link a debit card, try linking an external account instead to transfer funds via ACH.

Which cards are not supported by Chime?
Chime doesn't accept credit cards, international cards, Chime debit cards, and prepaid cards such as government benefits and gift cards for initiating instant transfers.
