Eligibility

My Paycheck is currently available to a small number of eligible Chime members who have set up direct deposit with Chime.

My Paycheck provided by Stride Bank, N.A., Member FDIC.

Overview

My Paycheck allows you to access money that you’ve already earned before your direct deposit date. Using historical direct deposit data, we’re able to estimate your pay day-by-day, increasing the amount of money you can cash out before your next payday. Cashing out early can be done instantly and multiple times per pay period.

When your direct deposit arrives, Chime will deposit it to your account minus the amount you cashed out early.

Set up My Paycheck

If you’re eligible, you’ll be prompted to set up My Paycheck in the Chime mobile app.
