How often do I need to make a direct deposit to keep Chime+?

To maintain Chime+ status, you must receive at least one Qualifying Direct Deposit of $200 or more within the preceding 34 days.

How Does the 34-Day Rule Work?

    • Chime+ is based on the preceding 34-days window.
    • Each new Qualifying Direct Deposit of $200 or more resets your 34-day period.
    • If more than 34 days pass without a Qualifying Direct Deposit of $200 or more, you will lose access to Chime+ status.

How Can I Track My Status?

To check if you have Chime+:

      1. Open the Chime app.
      2. Go to Profile tab.
      3. Look for the Chime+ badge on your account.

What Happens If I Miss a Qualifying Direct Deposit?

      • You will lose Chime+ status, including priority support and the higher savings APY1.
      • You can regain Chime+ status again at any time by making a new Qualifying Direct Deposit of $200 or more.
