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

To keep Chime Plus1 status, receive qualifying direct deposits within the last 34 days. You’ll maintain Chime Plus if, during that time, you continue receiving within the last 34 days either:
  • A single qualifying direct deposit of $200 or more, or

  • $400 or more total from qualifying direct deposits.


How does the 34-day rule work?

  • Chime Plus 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 Plus status.

How can I track my status?

To check if you have Chime Plus:
  1. Open the Chime app.
  2. Go to Profile tab.
  3. Look for the Chime Plus badge on your account.

What happens if I miss a qualifying direct deposit?

  • You will lose Chime Plus status, including priority support and the higher savings APY2.
  • You can regain Chime Plus status again at any time by making a new Qualifying Direct Deposit of $200 or more.
