There was a transaction on 03/23/2025 for the amount of $144.01 to U-Haul. I got a text message from the fraud department asking if it was me and I said no. The money was still taken out of my account, along with $14.28 also to U-Haul. I had to wait to the charges cleared to dispute them even though they were supposed to be blocked after I confirmed that it wasnt me making the transaction. On 03/27/25 I disputed the charges with Chime and they denied me. I am now reaching out to the BBB to try and help me resolve this so that I can get my money back.Business Response

I have received a chime debit card to my home address and I never applied or heard of this bank. I never gave any of my information to that bank which is a fraudulent account and my name with my social security and address. I contacted the bank and was told in order to close the account I have to file an FTC report which I did, upon completion of report I got a reference number of completion, to which the bank said its not good enough and they need a PDF file report. I informed the bank the *** provides no such form but only a confirmation number which I gave them, the bank then told me they cant help me. I files a police report with my local precinct, however they cant do much as bank doesnt give me a statement of the account thats open under my name. The bank has my information which I never authorised and they are not closing this account upon my request even after I submitted and did the things they have asked me to doBusiness Response

Chime takes reports of identity theft very seriously and has taken the appropriate action on the reported account.
On March 28, 2025, the account in question was suspended. This will prevent the account from being used or any new account from being opened with the same information.
Please note that Chime is a financial technology company, not a bank, and accordingly Chimes partner banks, The ************, N.A. or ***********, N.A.; Members FDIC, provide their banking services. Chime and our bank partners take identity theft claims very seriously and we actively investigate these claims in line with current industry practices, which are approved by our partner banks. Chime always strives to make improvements to our operations, especially as it relates to preventing unauthorized third parties from using another individuals personal information for illegitimate reasons.
Our records indicate that on March 20, 2025 an application for a Chime Checking Account using Katrinas information was submitted through Chimes website. Applicants are required to certify that the information provided at the time of enrollment is true, and as a result the application was deemed to be authorized and the application was approved.
After a reasonable investigation, Chime flagged and closed the account on April 2, 2025. In order to prevent further unauthorized activity, Chime additionally flagged Katrinas personal information so no other accounts would be opened using Katrinas information on Chimes platform.
As further reassurance, Chime would not report any information to external credit reporting agencies in relation to the unauthorized account, and ********************** will not hold Katrina responsible for any activity on the account. Since Katrinas personal information was used to open the account in question, ********************** recommends Katrina take the following precautions to monitor their identity:
Review their annual credit report for any unauthorized accounts/activity
Contact the major credit reporting agencies to place a freeze on their credit report

My cousins wife came to my house and connected to my WiFi on Dec 26th 2024 to buy one of my iPhones for her kid for Christmas. I charged her $120. She sent me the $ on chime. (My chime card went missing and I had to report it as stolen and get a new one, twice, because of her). She contacted chime and told them the transaction was unauthorized so chime sent it back to her. It was not unauthorized. I spoke with ******* **** ****** and she said she did not do that, that her account was hacked. ********************** wont even let me close my account until I pay the remaining money that I do not even owe because she took my iPhone and the money back!!

I had hit back no and that night someone had acted like chime and was already in my account acting like they had to move the money. That's when they transferred all my money to that number and then hung up on me. I tried to call it back and I just kept getting a voice mail. I looked up the number and it was from *************.

To activate MyPay on an account, members must accept the MyPay Line of Credit Agreement (Agreement) terms, which is also available anytime on Chimes website at ************************************************************
As a reminder, Chimes MyPay product functions like a credit line, providing ******** with a payroll advance when needed before their next direct deposit. It is important to note that the money ******** receives from these advances is not their own; it comes from a credit limit that Chime has made available to them. Just like with any other credit line, when ******** takes out an advance, they are borrowing money that must be repaid.
The Credit Limit is the maximum amount a member can access during their pay period, which is the interval between expected Qualifying MyPay Direct Deposits.
The Available Now amount is the maximum advance a member can take on any given day. At the start of the member's pay period, immediately after receiving a qualifying direct deposit, this amount begins as a small portion of their credit limit.
As outlined in the Agreement, the Credit Limit associated with MyPay is designed to fluctuate based on certain criteria. Please review the Agreement under Credit Limit which states:
You understand and agree that we may reduce or increase your Credit Limit in our discretion at any time. You understand and agree that we do not have to provide you with advance notice of changes to your Credit Limit. Requests for increases in Credit Limits are not accepted or permitted. Your Credit Limit may be affected by direct deposit activity, Chime and Bank account activity, risk-based criteria, and availability of *************** Sources.
As long as members continues to receive consistent direct deposits to their Chime account and meet the MyPay eligibility requirements, they will be able to continue using MyPay, and their credit limit may increase.

To activate MyPay on an account, members must accept the MyPay Line of Credit Agreement (Agreement) terms, which is also available anytime on Chimes website at ************************************************************
Johnnita's 'Available Now' amount is determined based on their direct deposit amount, direct deposit history, and other risk-based factors. As described in the MyPay Line of Credit Agreement, the following reasons may affect the MyPay credit limit:
A change in the amount of direct deposits received to a members Chime account,
If the member hasnt received a qualifying direct deposit in the last 36 days
Changes to the members work information may result in Chime re-evaluating Available Now and credit limit factors at the start of their next pay period. This could result in a change to their Available Now amount and credit limit.
Internal risk-based criteria
After an investigation, Chime can confirm that the MyPay product is working as intended.

So I recently filed disputes for my credit builder and debit card and they were denied. But I've received multiple emails from the companies the disputes were for saying that they've received chargebacks and honored them yet Chime denied my disputes? If they've sent the money back and I haven't received it that means Chime is keeping and stealing it. And how can some chargebacks go through and others arent if you denied the dispute in total? None of this makes sense and it all seems sketchy af. Then I ask for the evidence for why they were even denied in the first place and don't receive it. I appeal it and it's denied instantly so they clearly haven't given it a second look if the appeal is denied as fast as is was/is. This company is a bunch of crooks. Not once have I ever had a chargeback denied without a reason given from any other financial institution.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:The email I received said it contained documents used to deny my disputes but it contained nothing but the amounts and company I disputed things with. There were no attachments in the email. So please explain how there are documents ATTACHED to an email but there's nothing for me to click on to download. How were you able to deny and determine nothing happened with my disputes by regurgitating the information I gave to initially file the claim? That makes no sense what so ever. Screenshot of email received. And also how does on make a dispute and only get some of the charges back but not all of them? Again makes no sense. I've never had chargebacks denied with any other financial institution (or attempt of one) yet almost every time I've had to with Chime they deny deny deny. And all there was in the link you sent me was 1. My intake form which is just the questions and my answers for the dispute. 2. A copy of the kleetter you sent me denying my claim (WTF?) 3. An account statement of my checking account lol. This is supposedly the informatiom *air quotes* you used to deny my claims lol.

I am writing to formally dispute unauthorized transactions that have occurred on my Chime Financial *** account. The details of the transactions are as follows:Transaction Date: 1/17/25 Transaction Amount: $166.05 Transaction ID: *** I did not authorize these transactions, and they were made without my knowledge or consent.

Chime is in receipt of the complaint filed through the Better Business Bureau (BBB) by ******* ******.
On March 25, 2025, ******* called us regarding a transaction in the amount of $166.05 which ******* stated was unauthorized. We filed a dispute and began an investigation into the matter.
On April 6, 2025, we notified ******* via email that we completed our investigation and based on the information available, we determined that no error occurred.
On April 7, 2025, we escalated the case, and an additional review was opened.
As part of our dispute investigation, we filed a chargeback for the disputed transaction. A chargeback is a request to the merchant, from Chime, to have the funds from a disputed transaction returned to the member. Merchants are able to reject chargebacks and can provide their own evidence to show that a transaction is legitimate.
Please be advised the additional review is currently under investigation. ******* will be updated no later than April 21, 2025.
On April 7, 2025, ******* requested a copy of the documents we relied on in making our determination. Upon receipt of ********* complaint, we have escalated the requested documentation to be sent to ******* via email as soon as possible.
We thank you for the opportunity to respond to ******* ******** complaint. If ******* ****** continues to have concerns regarding their complaint, please have them contact Chime *************** at ************.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: If chime really did a thorough investigation as they claim, they would see, I have no contract with ***, I have no account with *** and I do no business with ***. However, the fact they chime denied my dispute the first time in bad faith is evidence they did not do a thorough investigation and I have been without the $ stolen from me for months now.

Some dispute claims are not eligible for temporary credit due to the transaction type or the time the dispute was filed. When Chime investigates a dispute and issues temporary credit, we must follow the guidelines within ***************** transaction errors, Regulation E establishes the dispute process steps and the framework for issuing temporary credit.
We are not able to provide a temporary credit because the dispute ******* filed is not a transaction processing error and is a late notification dispute that was filed 60+ days after the transactions statement date. For more information about temporary credits, please see our website: *****************************************************************************************************;
We understand the importance of dispute resolution. The investigation is currently in process, and we are working to resolve ********* case as quickly as possible.
We will notify ******* the results of the investigation no later than July 6, 2025. We appreciate ********* ******** at this time.

Complaint: 23174538
I am rejecting this response because: I filed a complaint against *** Enterprises, *** ******************** regarding the unlawful theft of $****** from my chime account 4/17/25. ****** from *** Enterprises, *** ******************** got back to me immediately, to let me know they can not locate an account in my name. ****** advised me that this appears to be a fraudulent transaction. Yet I filed a complaint against Chime Financial, *** 3/29/25 and they're still conducting an investigation? The stolen ****** still has yet to be returned back to my account, which is causing me unjustified harm. Chime Financial, Inc.is acting in bad faith still by refusing to return my stolen $******! I have attached my communications with ******. Maybe Chime Financial, Inc. instead of acting in bad faith, penalizing me, fighting to keep my unlawfully stolen $******, Chime Financial, Inc. should actually do their job and reach out to *** and help one of their customers (me) get their stolen money back!
Sincerely,
******* ******
