I’ll be closing my account.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“1 Star! — I’m extremely disappointed with Chime’s handling of my account. I had $1,400 in unauthorized transfers taken from my account, and despite repeatedly reporting it and providing additional evidence of unauthorized account activity, my disputes keep getting denied. Every time I contact customer service, I’m given the same response instead of anyone actually taking the time to look into the situation. I’ve…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Great Until You Actually Need Them — I was a loyal Chime customer for YEARS until my card was stolen in May and I actually needed their “fraud protection.” Someone made roughly $300 in unauthorized Amazon purchases while I was asleep. I reported it immediately. Amazon confirmed that the order was not associated with my account, name, or address and advised me to dispute it with my bank.

“This FinTech bank is TRASH — Nothing but foreign customer service that you can’t understand. They don’t stand behind you and disputes, even when there’s evidence provide provided. All they do is read off a script. They have been sued by the government many times. Again it’s not a real bank. It’s a financial tech company, look it up. God help you if you deposit any type of real money in there as they make you jump…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“DO NOT BANK HERE — Absolutely terrible experience with Chime.
