Hi there,

We completely understand how stressful it is to have your SSI funds delayed, especially after always receiving them seamlessly in the past. You deserve financial peace of mind, and we want to help you track this down.

Chime releases your money the exact second we receive the payment file from the Social Security Administration. Because agency release schedules or banking holidays can vary from month to month, we haven't received your specific file just yet. You will get an automatic notification the moment your SSI deposit hits your account.

We want to make sure everything is on track for you. Please call our Member Services team directly at 1 (844) 244-6363 so we can review your account timeline together.

Terrible

Terrible, horrible customer service. They basically scammed me into opening up a new account baiting me with the $350.00 bonus. When it came time to pay after I completed all the qualifications they said I was not eligible and could not give a valid reason. 1 hour spent on the phone arguing with an overseas rep that could barely speak english and could not provide a valid reason. Just horrible. Taking my money out and going with another bank. Plus, no real paper checks, their version of Zelle has extreme limits, and you cant transfer money to another person through bank account unless they are you. Their website is very, very bare and you cannot even chat with anyone online. Just horrible all around. Run far away.

Hi there,

Dealing with lost funds from a stolen card and phone, especially with a denied dispute, can be incredibly frustrating, and we would like to turn this around for you. If you have new information that was not included in your previous disputes, it could be very helpful for a reinvestigation. Items such as police reports, hospitalization or prison records, timesheets, purchase receipts, and travel or GPS proof of location (like flight tickets and reservations) can help us file a new claim for you.

Once you have this information, you can definitely get in touch with our Member Services team again through the app or at 1 (844) 244-6363 so they can take a closer look internally and assist you thoroughly.

My CHIME Experience: ✓ Positive

This has been a learning experience for me in that a) I was new to strictly online banking--also with a financial services provider; b) I was not retired when I first became a client so my needs were different. I took a chance due to its backing by a solid bank and am glad I did! Regretfully, I left them for a period of time but returned after retiring. (Aside from the array of beneficial basic services provided, their flexibility enables personal merit based perks, including for long term clients.) Since I signed up with Chime I have noticed new features and upgraded accounts with improvements affecting savings rates, deposit amounts, transfer types, quick &simple loans, cash-back deals and incentives, plus the expansion of free ATM /service store locations and partner offers. Regarding their customer service, there have been a few times when I needed their assistance and in each instance I was able to receive help right away, if not immediately. One time, I was in the middle of the checkout process and due to the time factor decided to use a backup method through Chime instead of the original attempted payment method (I was on the phone with them while checking out and I ended the call...they followed up with me right away.) It went smoothly; I am at the mercy of cellular service; it is ongoing.

My Pay

As a customer of Chime since 2018, with over 6K of direct deposits going in from payroll and Social Security monthly, I am absolutely fed up with your My Pay system. In the past, I would repay the $500 and immediately be able to borrow $500. Now, it is offered in increments of $75 per day and each time that any amount is borrowed, there is a fee attached. So, obviously, you are making more money from me with each increment borrowed daily. The customer service supervisor I spoke to told me that I'm only being offered in increments is because I borrow from My Pay too often! First of all, that's a bunch of nonsense because I enjoyed borrowing the lump sum of $500 for many many months without any issue. But now, I'm offered $75 per day with the fee attached as I just mentioned. I tip nearly every time I get a direct deposit as well because I am trying to "pass it on" to other customers. But wow, nice way to treat an 8-year customer! Being told I borrow too often, which is just an excuse and an insult, when you know that the daily fees that I'm being charged is actually the reason why. Shame on you. $Sandra-Bartlett-1

Hi Sandra,

We truly value having you as a member and understand how frustrating this situation must be, particularly after you've already reached out. We want to sort out any issue related to MyPay. You can use MyPay advances to get money within 24 hours for free, or instantly for a 3% fee (minimum $2 and maximum $5). Instant advances are completely optional. To keep your information safe, we do not access private account details over social media. Please give our team another call at 1 (844) 244-6363 so we can look into this deeply and get it sorted out securely.

Chime keeping my refund money and refusing to settle disputes

My money has been stolen twice off my chime account. Chime does nothing they don't contact you ask you what happened or nothing . They wait on the merchant to do a refund then they act like they never received it .They do they own investigating and never ask about anything . Thats because when the companies refund money chime keeps it and act like they never received anything all these companies is not lying .I have had claims denied where people literally stole my money and they done nothing .you can speak to a supervisor their customer support it terrible. No real investigations is beging done people keep robbing my account and they are doing nothing. I just had a Uber charge me 40$ twice for the same ride and they done nothing. Uber said they refunded the money and chime never put it in my account Then if they do issue a credit it's weeks later so if you got bills to pay or anything your screwed. They don't fight for they customers they take your money and when your money is stolen they don't care. I just had door dash scam me out my money I got nothing. Said they issued a refund and I never got it now Uber saying the same thing. Chime is getting people refunds and keeping them no money gets put back into your account and they blame the merchant. They will deny your claim and keep your refund money. Door dash did a refund chime never gave it back. Now uber saying they did a refund and chime not giving that back either. So anything happens and you need a refund don't expect to get it . They don't process none of your claims chime is a scam and I'm over it and done with chime.how people sending me back refunds and y'all keeping the money. Everybody not lying I got two different companies saying they sent refunds back and nothing hit my account CHIME IS A SCAM they steal your money like everyone else .

Do not bank here

Do not bank here. No customer service, they steal your money and lie from the beginning. You don’t get paid two days early nor will there ever be $200 to barrow. Cash App works with you 10X better than Chime and that’s saying something.

Priceline and chime

Priceline and chime

On July 1, I booked and paid for a hotel through Priceline. When I arrived at the hotel, I was told they were fully booked and couldn't honor my reservation. The hotel told me they would refund my money, but after a week, neither the hotel nor Priceline had issued a refund.

Because I still hadn't received my money, I filed a dispute through Chime, which is the app I used to pay for the hotel. I provided proof that I paid for the reservation. I was told that all the dispute representative needed to do was contact the hotel to confirm that I had paid for the room and never received it, but my dispute was still denied.

I then paid for another hotel, but when I arrived, I was unable to rent a room there as well. They also told me that all Priceline had to do was contact the hotel to verify that I had paid but did not receive the service, and my money should be refunded.

As of today, July 22, my dispute for the first hotel has been denied, and I am still out $150.

Hi Casey,

We understand your frustration with our dispute decision, especially after doing everything right on your end. If you have new documentation—such as merchant communication regarding the status of the service and the reason why they failed to provide the service—we can initiate a reinvestigation for you.

Another quick option is to contact the merchant. Sharing your proof and explaining the situation can often lead to a faster refund or alternative solution straight from them.

Whenever you are ready, get in contact with us again at 1 (844) 244-6363 or in the app. Our Member Services team is standing by 24/7 and would be happy to address any concerns you have.

This bank does NOT protect your money

This bank does NOT protect your money. I had a fraudulent transaction for $200+. I called them right when I got the notification and THEY told me to shut down the card and file a dispute. They denied my dispute twice...if u dont mind losing money then go with CHIME. If u value what you work hard for than leave them alone.

Hi Deanna,

We hear you, and we understand how frustrating this denial must be. We would greatly appreciate the chance to review your case again. Please reach out to us right in the app or give our Member Services team a call at 1-844-244-6363.

Also, to help us reopen and re-examine your claim, sending over any official paperwork that shows you didn't make the charge is incredibly powerful. Here are some of the most helpful things you can gather to back up your appeal:

• A copy of a police report if you filed a formal notice about the fraud.
• Medical or official records that show you were physically somewhere else entirely.
• Timesheets from work confirming you were clocked in when the charge happened.
• Receipts or store screenshots proving you were making a purchase at a different location.
• Travel details like flight tickets, hotel bookings, or GPS timelines that show you were away.

I started using time in 2023 I didn't…

I started using time in 2023 I didn't want to brick and mortar Bank because I was tired of them taking the service fees and all that stuff. Someone introduced me to chime and sent me their link I signed up. about 3 weeks after I got my chime debit card I signed up for the credit builder card and I had a very low 400 something credit score and less than a year I was able to buy a new car because my credit score had jumped up. I have had people hack my debit card and my credit builder card and with that being said chime took care of every bit of it and put the money back on my account as soon as I called them. And then they turned around and resolved the issue I have never had a problem with chime and I don't ever foresee a problem with chime. If you don't have a bank that you trust I suggest Chime but hey it's your money lol

I've been with chime for over 4 years

I've been with chime for over 4 years, on 7/16 I was a victim of fraud. I submitted proof I was working on a video call, my job wrote a letter on my behalf, I submitted emails showing that my account was compromised showing attempted log ins, I reported the fraud as soon as I was aware, I showed them how someone closed my chime savings account as well as the credit builder account. Nothing matters after 3 disputes they continue to decline it. I submitted a complaint with identity theft gov and with CFPB and they still declined it. My entire check was taken from my account and chime couldn't care less. They had no compassion and did no investigation all disputes finalized within 24 hours and no real reason why they declined. Despite the fact that my account history shows I've never made transactions that size. They don't care that my money is gone. I got proof from the merchant stating that the money was transferred to another bank that was not mine and they still do not do anything. After 2 weeks of working as a single mother to support my family they seriously are telling me anything can happen in my account and they are not responsible for anything. They will not give credits, or return my money. This is a slap in the face for all the years I've been with them. I'm going to be getting a lawyer and seek help because I was robbed and my own bank would not help me. Don't bank with chime I will be looking for a more secure bank that will protect me from scammers.

Why Chime is the BEST

I have trusted Chime as my primary bank for many years now. Why? Because they pay me! Other banks TAKE my money. Fees for this, fees for that. Chime actually PAYS ME to keep my money secure. Not to mention, I have NEVER been hacked since I switched to Chime.
