Terms and Conditions of Using the Pay Anyone Transfer Service as a Non-Chime Member

Last Updated February, 2023

Rev. 02/2023

General

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Chime grants you limited access to the Pay Anyone Transfer Service (“Pay Anyone”) via Chime’s web page. Chime’s Banking Partners, The Bancorp Bank, N.A. and Stride Bank, N.A. (“Banking Partners”) provide you with this service. Your access to this service only allows you to receive money (“Pay Anyone Transfer(s)”) from Chime Checking Account holders (“Chime Members”). Your use of this service does not create a relationship between you and any of Chime’s Banking Partners and does not render you a Chime Member.

Your access to Pay Anyone is determined by Chime in its sole discretion based on a variety of risk-based factors. If you violate any Chime policy or terms and conditions, such actions may be used as a basis to terminate your access to the service. Chime may suspend or terminate your use of Pay Anyone at any time and without prior notice to you.

By using the Pay Anyone feature, you agree that you will not engage in any conduct that would be considered a criminal offense or would give rise to civil liability or violate these terms and the Agreement.

Messaging Consent

By providing Chime with your first and last name, email address, and U.S. debit card information, you are representing that you are the owner of the debit card and associated U.S. bank account. IN ADDITION, YOU AGREE TO RECEIVE EMAIL AND SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE (“SMS”) NOTIFICATIONS FROM US, OUR AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND AGENTS AT THAT NUMBER, INCLUDING THOSE MADE BY USE OF AN AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE DIALING SYSTEM (“ATDS”), AND/OR EMAILS FROM US IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THIS SERVICE.  You acknowledge and agree that such messaging may include, but is not limited to, live telephone calls, prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an ATDS from us or our Affiliates, service providers, and agents.  Please review our Privacy Policy for more information.

How to Claim a Pay Anyone Transfer as a Non-Chime Member

To claim a Pay Anyone Transfer(s), click on the link that was sent in the SMS or email you received. Once you are on the web page, enter your first and last name, U.S. debit card information, email address, and any other information you are prompted to provide to verify that you are the intended recipient. Then click the claim funds button. If you submitted the required information and received a confirmation that the Pay Anyone Transfer was successful, funds will be credited to the U.S. bank account associated with the debit card information you have provided to Chime, however the funds may not be available in your bank account for up to 30 minutes, or longer, following the Pay Anyone Transfer, depending on your bank. Please note, you may only use a U.S. bank issued debit card to claim funds using this Pay Anyone feature. Credit cards, pre-paid cards, and debit cards issued by a foreign bank are not eligible to use with this service.

Funds that are sent to you by a Chime Member are available to be claimed for fourteen (14) days from the time the transfer was initiated. After 14 days, the transaction will expire, and the funds will automatically be transferred back to the sending Chime Member.

During the Pay Anyone Transfer claim process, you have the option to request that we autofill your provided debit card information to receive future Pay Anyone Transfers to that debit card. If you decide to take advantage of this feature, you will not need to re-enter your chosen debit card information for future Pay Anyone Transfers when claiming funds with a debit card.

Pay Anyone Transfers will be monitored and may be held, delayed or blocked if, in Chime’s sole discretion, Chimes concludes that completing the transfer could result in a breach of this Agreement, fraud, any financial harm or harm to the safety and integrity of the Pay Anyone Transfer Service.

Chime may require additional information from you to complete a Pay Anyone Transfer. Specifically, Chime may request that you provide additional information to verify your identity.

You must make sure that the debit card information you have provided is entered accurately to ensure funds are transferred to your bank account. It is your obligation to provide the correct debit card information. Chime is not responsible for Pay Anyone Transfers not received due to an error in the information entered by the recipient or additional errors unrelated to Chime’s platform.

Pay Anyone Transfers can be made 24 hours a day, 365 days a year regardless of holiday or weekend schedules. You acknowledge that Pay Anyone Transfers, including the instant payout of a successfully claimed Pay Anyone Transfer, may be affected or delayed by technological disruptions. We may limit how many transfers you can accept, and the amount of funds transferred you can accept in a single day, week, or month.

Funds availability may depend on your bank that issued the debit card used to complete the Pay Anyone Transfer. The funds transfer transaction may appear in processing or pending status and your available balance may not update until the transaction has been fully processed by your bank. This may take up to 30 minutes, or longer, depending on your bank.

Alternative Option for Non-Chime Members to Claim Funds

A Non-Chime Member may open a Chime Checking Account in order to Send/Receive Funds and Request Funds from Chime Members. If you wish to obtain access to these features, you must sign-up and be approved for a Chime Checking Account. You may sign up via the Chime mobile app or by visiting https://www.chime.com/ and accurately provide all required information. Once you are approved to open a Checking Account, please see your Bank’s Deposit Account Agreement for Pay Anyone Terms and Conditions for Chime Members. This is an alternative method to claim funds, it is NOT required.
