“American workers give it their all, and we’re all in on giving them what they need to succeed.” As we head into Labor Day weekend, we’re taking a moment to share a piece from The Washington Post written by Chime’s Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Jennifer Kuperman. With 65% of American workers living paycheck to paycheck, unexpected costs can be overwhelming, and the traditional two-week pay cycle only adds to the issue. We built MyPay™ to help our members, giving them a free or low-cost way to access their pay between paydays. Read the full piece to learn more about why the traditional pay cycle is broken—and the steps Chime is taking to create positive change. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gz7Spwi8 #Chime #Fintech #FinancialProgress

We unite everyday people to unlock their financial progress.
About us
Chime was created because we believe everyone can unlock financial progress, and we want to develop solutions and services to empower people to succeed. The premise upon which we started Chime is simple: basic banking services should be helpful, transparent, and easy. Our easy-to-use tools and intuitive platforms give members the ability to have more control over their money and to take action toward achieving their financial ambitions. By designing a member-centric banking app with easy-to-understand financial tools, we’re creating a more competitive market with options for everyday Americans. We offer access to accounts with no overdraft fees, provide members the chance to receive their pay up to 2 days early* with direct deposit, help them build credit history, and build financial literacy to hit their goals—among many other things. Since 2012, we’ve grown our team to more than 1500 Chimers across 3 offices. But more than that, we’ve expanded the products and services we offer to our members based on member feedback. And in doing so, we’ve disrupted the banking industry and changed the conversation for everyday people about money on a national level. Chime is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services are provided by The Bancorp Bank, N.A. or Stride Bank, N.A., Members FDIC. *Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from the payer. We generally make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to 2 days earlier than the scheduled payment date.

Chime's Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Jennifer Kuperman, spoke about the benefits of open banking at Semafor's "Banking on the Future: The Next Era of Fintech" summit. The bottom line: When consumers have information and access, they can more easily shop around for the products and services they need—which means more competition in our industry and more consumer-friendly innovation as a result. 💚 See the full conversation here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e6bcHYcm #Chime #LifeatChime #Fintech

SpotMe®, Chime’s fee-free overdraft, has saved members $18 billion in fees since 2021(!), but it used to be available solely for use on debit. With a huge number of Chime members working to build their credit using the Chime Secured Credit Builder Visa® Credit Card, we set out to bring the benefits of SpotMe to new heights, allowing Chime members to access SpotMe coverage with their Credit Builder cards without impacting their credit score. 🚀🙌💚 “There were options that would have made it simpler to build but would have fallen short of the product we wanted to deliver: a seamless way for our members to join their urgent, day-to-day spending needs with their long-term goals of building credit history.” - Melissa Hamilton, Chime Product Manager We sat down with two Chimers on the SpotMe on Credit Builder team to take a closer look at how they delivered on that goal while staying focused on members throughout. → https://lnkd.in/e4mAjKMW #Chime #LifeatChime
