How To Contact Chime Customer Service

Chime Financial, Inc. lists its headquarters at 101 California Street, Floor 5, San Francisco, CA 94111. The headquarters is not a walk-in customer-support location. For headquarters details and complaint contacts, see the updated Chime corporate office page.

Chime Is a Financial Technology Company, Not a Bank

Chime is a financial technology company. Banking services are provided by The Bancorp Bank, N.A. or Stride Bank, N.A., Members FDIC. Chime itself is not an FDIC-insured bank. Eligible deposits may receive pass-through FDIC insurance through a partner bank when applicable requirements are met.

This distinction matters for deposit insurance, account agreements, card-issuing bank questions and some regulatory complaints. Check the back of your Chime card, your account agreement or the direct-deposit form in the app to identify the partner bank associated with your account. Chime remains the first contact for app, card, transaction and account-service problems.

See Chime’s company and banking-partner disclosure for current details.

Choose the Correct Chime Support Route

Information To Gather Before Contacting Chime

• Name, email address and phone number on the account
• Date, amount and description of the transaction or deposit
• Whether the transaction is pending or posted
• Merchant refund confirmation or employer ACH trace number, when relevant
• Dispute or support case number
• Account-closure notice and confirmed mailing address, when relevant
• Screenshots that do not expose full account or identity information
• The specific resolution requested

Privacy reminder: Do not post account or routing numbers, full card numbers, Social Security numbers, passwords, one-time codes, balances, addresses or identity documents in a public review.

How To Dispute a Chime Transaction

Chime’s official instructions say a card charge must be posted before it can be disputed. If the transaction is unauthorized, turn off card transactions immediately rather than waiting for the dispute process.

1. Open the Chime app and select the account containing the transaction.
2. Select the posted transaction.
3. Tap Problem with this transaction?
4. Follow the prompts and provide accurate details.
5. Upload receipts, merchant messages or other requested records.
6. Save the dispute confirmation and monitor app or email updates.

If the option is unavailable or the matter is urgent, call 1-844-244-6363. Review the official Chime card-dispute instructions.

If Chime Denies the Dispute

• Read the final determination and note any response deadline.
• Ask which records or facts were used in the decision.
• Provide new receipts, merchant correspondence or other evidence promptly.
• Ask whether the dispute can be reconsidered or appealed.
• Keep copies of temporary-credit and reversal notices.
• Escalate an unresolved consumer-financial complaint when appropriate.

Unauthorized Transactions, Lost Cards and Hacked Accounts

If you do not recognize a transaction or believe someone has accessed your Chime account, act quickly:

1. Turn off card transactions in the Chime app.
2. Change your Chime password and the password for the connected email account.
3. Review recent card, ACH, ATM and Pay Anyone activity.
4. File disputes for unauthorized posted transactions.
5. Call Chime at 1-844-244-6363.
6. Never share a verification code with someone who called or texted you.
7. If identity theft is involved, create a recovery plan at IdentityTheft.gov.

For a lost or stolen card, turn off transactions before requesting a replacement. If a card is merely declined, first check its status, available balance, limits and whether transactions were disabled in the app.

Missing Chime Direct Deposits and Tax Refunds

Chime cannot post a direct deposit it has not received. If payroll, benefits or another ACH deposit is late, first confirm that the payer sent it to the correct account and routing number. If it was sent, ask the payer for the ACH trace number and give that number to Chime.

Why a Direct Deposit May Be Returned

• The name on the deposit does not match the Chime account
• The Chime account is closed
• The payment is in a business name or is otherwise ineligible
• The payer reversed the deposit

When a deposit is returned, it goes back to the payer, who controls reissuing the funds. Use the partner-bank account and routing details shown in the Chime app or official direct-deposit form; do not copy banking details from a third-party website. See Chime’s direct-deposit troubleshooting guide.

Chime Tax Refund Status

For a federal tax refund, check the status with the IRS or the tax agency first. Chime does not guarantee when a tax refund will arrive. If the agency confirms it was sent, verify the account information and ask whether a trace number is available. See Chime’s tax-refund guidance.

Chime Account Restrictions, Closures and Refund Checks

If Chime restricts or closes an account, save the notice and ask what information is required, whether pending transactions or disputes remain, and how the remaining balance will be returned. Support may not be able to disclose every detail of a security review, but you can request a case number and written status.

Before voluntarily closing an account, Chime recommends transferring the balance to another account, downloading statements, moving direct deposits and changing automatic payments. If money remains, Chime says it issues a refund check within 14 days; delivery may take up to 30 days from account closure. Confirm the address before closing and keep the closure confirmation.

If a Closed-Account Refund Is Late

• Confirm the closure date, refund amount and mailing address.
• Ask when the check was issued and whether it was returned.
• Ask about stop-payment and replacement-check procedures.
• Record each case number and promised follow-up date.
• Escalate in writing or to the appropriate regulator if access to funds remains unresolved.

Read Chime’s current account-closure instructions.

Merchant Refunds, ATM Issues and Pay Anyone Transfers

Missing Merchant Refund

Chime says merchant refunds usually appear within 5 to 7 business days after the merchant processes the refund. Ask the merchant for the processing date and confirmation number. If that window has passed, contact Chime with the documentation. A promise to refund is not the same as a processed card refund. See Chime’s merchant-refund timeline.

ATM Charged the Account but Dispensed No Cash

Save the receipt and record the ATM owner, location, date, time and requested amount. Photograph any error message if it is safe to do so, then file a dispute through Chime. ATM cases can require records from the ATM owner or network.

Pay Anyone Transfer Sent to the Wrong Person

Chime-to-Chime Pay Anyone transfers are generally instant and completed transfers cannot be canceled or reversed. A non-Chime recipient normally has 14 days to claim a transfer; unclaimed funds are returned automatically after that period. Contact Chime immediately if the transfer was unauthorized. If you sent it to the wrong recipient, contact that person and Chime, but do not assume recovery is possible. Review the official Pay Anyone instructions.

Credit Builder, SpotMe, MyPay and Mobile Check Deposit

For a Credit Builder transaction, select the posted transaction in the app and use the dispute option. For SpotMe or MyPay, review current eligibility, qualifying-deposit and repayment details shown in your app before contacting support. Mobile check deposits may take up to five business days after acceptance; keep the paper check until the deposit has been accepted and fully processed. Chime explains the timing in its mobile check deposit guide.

How To Escalate a Chime Complaint

1. Start with Chime. Use in-app chat or call 1-844-244-6363.
2. Get a case number. Record the date, time, representative and promised next step.
3. Preserve the evidence. Save chat transcripts, notices, statements, transaction details and supporting documents.
4. State the requested resolution. Examples include restoring access, reopening a dispute, locating a deposit, replacing a card or reissuing a refund check.
5. Follow up in writing. Include the case number and a concise timeline, but send sensitive records only through a secure route Chime provides.
6. Escalate externally when appropriate. An unresolved deposit, transfer, dispute, credit-reporting or closed-account balance issue may be submitted to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
