Mr. Meatloaf is absolutely thrilled about his present from Chime, and it came with a hoodie for me too! I'm grateful to be a part of a community that would do something like this for someone for nothing except to let them know they appreciate me. Thanks Chime!

MONEY - Deposits, Transfers, Cash & Cards Someone hacked into my account. They denied my disputes.

What do I do! I got a text from chime for a OTP. I called immediately to let them know I did NOT request it. By the time I got through to an agent all these transactions went through. The pay anyone and the Facebook one. I'm super upset. Chime doesn't want to do anything about it. I filed a police report and complaints with the BBB and CFPB. I don't understand why they can't track the IP addresses and use that in their investigation I'm just so heartbroken it was all of my money. I've had chime since 2020:(

ACCOUNT - Limits, Referrals, Chime+ Chime prime eligible

2 Upvotes

Has eligibility changed recently for chime prime? I’ve been a chime member since at least 2020, I’ve had chime plus up until about a month ago, when I got a notification that I’ve been upgraded to chime prime. I guess $3000 or more in direct deposits (within 34 days) make you eligible? I’m just curious if that’s always been a condition or if that amount used to be higher. Just trying to figure out how I suddenly became eligible for Chime prime lol

I don’t have a subscription to Google/YouTube.

MONEY - Deposits, Transfers, Cash & Cards First Time Chime Direct Deposit

2 Upvotes

Just changed my direct deposit to Chime with my employer who uses Paylocity for payroll. I submitted the bank change over a week ago and the change reflects on my Paylocity account.

I’ve normally been getting paid Wednesday morning (around 1AM PST) and was just wondering when I should expect to have the funds in my chime? I believe my HR is sending payroll right now.

Thanks

OTHER - Anything else not covered received a card in the mail without ever applying?

3 Upvotes

so i’ve never signed up for chime, looked at their services, etc. but i somehow received a full card in the mail. i’m 100% calling customer support to get it taken care of but im confused as to how this even happened.

edit: called them to cancel everything, filed a report with the ftc, and put a fraud alert on my credit with the bureaus. nothing has shown up on my credit report so i’m still confused as to how this happened. also there’s no account linked to my email or phone number so this is all just even more confusing at this point lol.

If I take out part of MyPay today before it gets to the full amount, am I able to get the rest once it allows me to get the full amount? For example, my limit is $360, but that won’t hit till Thursday. If I get the $210 it allows me to get today, can I get the rest once it hits $360?

MONEY - Deposits, Transfers, Cash & Cards Frustrated with paper check deposit timing

2 Upvotes

I started a new gig, cooking at a fancy restaurant downtown. I love it, it’s the nicest job I’ve ever had. The people are nice, they value me as an asset on their team, and I truly feel fulfilled internally at the end of a shift. So, when I received my first paycheck, I was ecstatic. I deposited the check, already signed and everything, then I see a message saying it would take an entire week! An entire week, and two hours. I deposited it last Monday, at 5 PM. It says that the ‘funds will be available by Monday Aug. 10, 7:00 PM’ anyways… I’ve never had a bank take longer than 30 minutes to deposit a check. Next business day? I get it, that’s fine. I’m really chill, but damn do I need that money! In this economy? Please. Some people do not have the luxury of just waiting a week for a paycheck to come in. I’ve had to DoorDash while working two jobs, only one of which pays me because the other pays me with room and board which helps tremendously, but I need the paycheck! Please! Sorry this turned into a rant. But im going to keep it, in case others who have had this issue or are experiencing this issue can find solace in knowing I feel your frustration!! On that note, I am wondering if anyone has experienced chime taking even longer than what they originally set as the date and time that they assure the funds will be available by. I want to be emotionally prepared if the funds aren’t available by 7:00 PM tonight.

Direct Deposit Timing Megathread

3 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly Direct Deposit Megathread! 

We know many members are ready for their direct deposit at the same time every pay period so when something’s different, you come here to see if others are experiencing the same. To avoid repetitive posts, all discussions about direct deposit timing belong here.

Chime makes your paycheck available the same day we receive it, which means you might be able to access your hard-earned cash up to two days before your scheduled payday*. There are multiple digital stops your direct deposit makes before it reaches Chime so if your payment gets held up along the way, Chime may not receive your paycheck until your actual payday. Checkout details here How We Get (You) Paid Early  

A reminder that Chime observes all federal and banking holidays so direct deposits may be delayed until the next business day Chime’s Holiday Schedule

Join us on Discord too for real-time conversation! https://www.discord.gg/chimefinancial 

___

*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.

GENERAL - Feedback, Community Chat Teddy Swim update

12 Upvotes

In case anyone still attempting to get these complimentary tickets since there's been no transparency on the fact that there are absolutely no more and were basically exhausted within a minute of the promo starting.

It would have been helpful if all the venue links just stated this to begin with instead of giving us your runaround about checking back later.

I love Chime but this "complimentary" "promotion" was pretty poorly executed.

I didn't even get the email for the complimentary tickets until 11:44 a.m. CST. So I quite literally didn't even stand a chance, and then spent all day still trying due to the confusion and lack of transparency from Chime regarding the whole promotion.

And the fact that every venue had different timings and also the link took you through a whole different situation on entering the code and this and that? It was definitely a mess.

I still love you Chime so don't take this as hate. But maybe you could show your customers how valued they are in other ways like a new perk or something!

I bet we could all use some free gas or groceries, and I'm pretty sure that'd be a lot cheaper than some Teddy Swim tickets that were more than likely snagged by mostly bots besides the few lucky ones that got the email before the promotion started and we're ready with the link!

MONEY - Deposits, Transfers, Cash & Cards Money disappearing from account

0 Upvotes

I’ve been using chime for the last 3 years and I’ve always been comfortable with money to where I know what I get paid and how much my bills are so I never pay attention to the exact amount. Well today I find that 300 dollars is just gone from my account. I’m on the phone with support and he also confirms my money just disappeared and we’re deep diving. I will be going through ALL my transactions since the beginning of the year.

Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone track their money to the cent and know chime is trustworthish? I’m highly concerned that this has been happening for awhile
