What happens if I stop making direct deposits? Will I lose Chime Plus status?

Chime Plus1 ends if you do not receive either a single qualifying direct deposit of $200 or more or qualifying direct deposits totaling $400 or more within the last 34 days. This can affect access to enhanced savings interest rates, SpotMe2, MyPay3, exclusive Chime Deals4, and priority support.


What changes when I lose Chime Plus status?

Savings APY– Your interest rate will return to the standard rate.

SpotMe® – You may lose access to SpotMe2 or see a lower limit.

MyPay® access – You may no longer qualify for MyPay3 advances.

Priority support – Your support requests will no longer receive priority handling.

Chime Deals® – Some exclusive cashback offers will no longer be available.


Cash Back Rewards - You’ll no longer receive 2% cash back5 on eligible Chime Card purchases.

How to restore Chime Plus status?

  1. Set up direct deposit with your employer or benefits provider.
  2. Receive either within the last 34 days:
    1. Qualifying Direct Deposit of $200 or more in your Chime account
    2. $400 or more in total Qualifying Direct Deposits
  3. Your Chime Plus status will be automatically restored within 24 hours.

What if I lost Chime Plus status due to an error?

If you believe you should still have Chime Plus status, but your status changed incorrectly, check:

     ✅ Your direct deposit history in the Chime app.
     ✅ That your direct deposit is from an eligible source & qualifying amount
     ✅ That your app is updated to the latest version.
