Frequently asked questions
Do I need a good credit score?
No, there is no credit check, so you can start even with no credit history.
Do I need an SSN?
Yes. To get the Chime Card you must also open a Chime Checking account, and that requires a valid SSN. Chime's official pages do not list an ITIN as an alternative, so an ITIN alone is not enough.
Is there an annual fee or interest?
No, there is no annual fee and no interest because your balance is paid from your own funds.
