Deposit cash into your Chime account

Find a location

The Cash Map in the Chime app is the best way to find deposit locations near you. Tap Move > Deposit cash >  See locations near me. You can filter by fee-free locations (Walgreens and Duane Reade only), higher-limit locations (deposits over $500), locations that accept barcode deposits (no physical card needed), and open now. 

If a deposit is not going through at a retailer, call Chime support at (844) 244-6363.


How to make a deposit

Deposit with your card

  1. Use the Cash Map in the Chime app to find a participating retailer.

  2. Bring your cash and your Chime card or secured credit card to the retailer.

  3. Present your card and cash to the cashier and follow any additional instructions at the register.

Only magnetic stripe swipes are accepted. Chip inserts and manual card entry aren't supported. If your card's magnetic stripe is damaged, request a replacement before trying again. Alternatively, you can use the barcode in your Chime app.

Deposit with a barcode

  1. Open the Chime app and tap Move > Deposit cash > View barcode.

  2. Bring your cash and phone to a participating retailer.

Ask the cashier to scan the barcode and follow any additional instructions at the register.

Once the retailer accepts your cash, the funds will be transferred to your Chime account. You may use your barcode, debit card, or Chime Card to deposit cash. Cash deposit fees may apply if using a retailer other than Walgreens and Duane Reade. Cash deposits using a barcode or debit card are deposited to your Checking Account. If you have the Chime Card, those funds will be automatically moved to your Chime Card Secured Deposit Account (SDA). Cash deposits using your Chime Card first go to your Chime Card Account, then transferred to your Chime Card SDA. Cash deposits are not payment for any Chime Card balance due.


Note: You cannot deposit cash at ATMs. Deposits must be made at participating retail locations.

Limits and fees

Chime's deposit limits apply across all your accounts and all deposit methods combined. You can deposit up to $3,000 per transaction, up to $3,000 total per day, and up to five times per day. The monthly cap is $10,000. Daily limits reset at midnight Mountain Standard Time (MST). Individual retailers may set their own lower limits per transaction.


Deposits at Walgreens and Duane Reade are always free. Every other retail partner charges a fee — typically $3 to $5 per transaction, set by the retailer. Always confirm the fee at the register before completing your deposit. Some retailers may also ask for a valid government-issued ID for larger amounts — Walgreens, for example, requires ID for deposits over $300.
