You can dispute a charge directly in the Chime app by following these steps:
1. Tap the account with the transaction you want to dispute.
- You'll see a list of your recent transactions.
- The top of the list will show any pending transactions, or transactions that the merchant hasn’t processed yet.
- Note: Pending transactions are still being processed and can’t be disputed. You will need to wait until the transaction is posted to the account before submitting a dispute.
- If you believe the transaction is unauthorized, immediately disable your card in the app to prevent further charges.
2. Find and select the transaction.
3. Tap Problem with this transaction? and follow the prompts to file your dispute.

Here’s what to do in certain dispute situations:
If your card is lost, stolen, or used without your permission, act quickly to protect your account. Here’s what to do:
Freeze your card, request a new physical card, and update your password immediately in the Chime app to prevent more charges.
To freeze your card:
- Tap Profile.
- Select Account settings.
- Under the impacted card, tap View and freeze cards.
- To freeze your virtual card, tap View virtual card and tap Freeze virtual card to toggle it on.
To replace your card:
- Tap Profile.
- Select Account settings.
- Under the impacted card, tap View and freeze cards.
- Tap Manage physical card,
- Select Replace card
- Choose the applicable replacement reason
- Confirm your address and a new card will be sent your way
- Once you request a replacement, your old card will be deactivated to prevent unauthorized use.
To update your password:
- Update your password to help secure your account by following the steps in How do I change my password?
If the dispute is about a product or service you received
- You may want to reach out to the merchant directly for a faster resolution or update on the situation (ex: waiting on a refund “merchant credit”)
If the dispute is about a recurring charge (like a gym membership)
- Contact us at least 3 business days before your next scheduled payment so we can try to stop the charge.
How to check your dispute status
- Open the Chime app and go to the Disputes section by clicking the dispute banner at the top of your home screen.
