Qualification requirements

Fees and costs

Chime's reviewed product and help pages say Chime Card and Credit Builder have no annual fees and no interest. Chime also says out-of-network ATM withdrawal and over-the-counter advance fees may apply, and the current Chime Card page ties 5% cash back to a category of choice and $3,000 or more in monthly qualifying direct deposits.

Availability

Available to eligible Chime applicants, subject to Chime account and card approval. Chime's help center says card delivery typically takes 7 to 10 business days after approval.

What to verify

  • Chime is a financial technology company, not an FDIC-insured bank.
  • Credit-score impact can vary; Chime says late payment may negatively affect credit.
  • The Chime Card and Credit Builder products use secured-account mechanics rather than a traditional preset unsecured credit line.
  • Out-of-network ATM, over-the-counter advance, cash access, or program fees can apply under current agreements.
  • Chime Card is replacing older Credit Builder positioning, so product names and eligibility can change.
