      On June 17th 2024 my checking account with Chime bank was fraudulently charged for the amount of $1,276.70. The company name behind the fraudulent charge is Teleperformance, which appears to be some type of 3rd party payroll company. The transaction was made in Bristol Great Britain. I have had no services or dealings with this company in any capacity. On June 24th 2024 is when I noticed the charge and filed a dispute with Chime and immediately canceled my card. By June 28th 2024 Chime denied my claim with an email stating they checked their systems and processes and found "no error occurred". This infuriated me so much as I've never experienced such level of fraud before and have never been denied a valid claim. Chime promised to send documents detailing how they came to their decision but only sent me my initial intake form. I file a Rebuttal dispute June 29th 2024 which was again denied for the same reasons. They promised again to send detailed information explaining their decision but again only sent my intake form and police report. After reading the many horror stories with Chime and it's practices I've decided to take legal action against this company. I believe their employees are stealing money from the clients which is highly unacceptable and need to be further looked into. Chime and it's affiliate The Bancorp have terrible business practices whether intentional or oversight needs to be corrected. I am seeking my money back of $1,276.70 plus punitive damages if this matter is not resolved quickly.

      I’ve filed 3 separate disputes with my chime checking account. Each of the 3 have been closed multiple times after only a few days of filing them and I keep reopening the dispute. There’s no possible way that a dispute for unauthorized chargers takes 3 days to investigate. First dispute Filed: May 20th 2024 Amount: $121.59 Denied: May 29 2024 Amazon purchase that was canceled and never delivered. Amazon didn’t provide a refund and in the Amazon app it says it was never delivered and I’ve uploaded documents to chime showing that and my dispute has been denied 3 times now. Second dispute Filed: May 18 2024 Amount: $591.00 Denied: June 4 2024 I was scammed by somebody and showed proof that I was scammed and dispute has been denied multiple times. Third dispute Filed: June 23 2024 Amount: multiple transactions totaling $274.81 Denied: June 27 2024 I lost my wallet in Brasil and there was multiple unauthorized purchases totaling $274.81. I filed the dispute and it was denied about 72 hours later. There’s no possible way a thorough investigation for unauthorized charges like they claim they did was done in 72 hours. I’ve reopened this claim and I’m waiting for results. This is an ongoing issue as other people I know that also use chime have the same issue.

      I opened a Chime bank account and credit builder account in Nov 2023. I have received texts and emails from them over the last 6 months When I received a text about attempted fraud, I responded like I have in the past. Then a call came from Chime. Listed as Chime Financial, just like when I have called them. The rep didn’t ask to open any new apps, or any fraud triggers….i thought I was talking to Chime. They said a security measure was using pay anyone service in chime, send money to secure email while they reset my account then it comes back in. The email is **************************. They sent emails that look like Chime emails. I called to find out when the money comes back ($1036.00) most of my check, and they explained I had been a victim of fraud. They opened a dispute. It came back denied. They reopened when I sent pictures of fake and real emails and how the calls came up. Still no money back in my account. ($1036.00). I looked up fraud attempts. Someone had the same thing happen. I am filing a police report also. I am shocked Chime isn’t more worried about someone using their phone number and emails. That’s a huge breach in their system.

      I purchased this Bancorp netspend prepaid card so that my son could have a way to purchase food at a venue that does not accept cash. I put $40 in cash on the card. The card, sold at CVS retail stores, requires you to enter your full SSN and other personal information in exchange for activation. I called to activate the card, and the person on the phone stated "we cannot activate your card. If you want a refund, we can only refund $35.05 because we took out a $4.95 service fee" ... they offered to mail me a check for the $35.05. This seems like a pervasive practice whereby they sell these cards, then make it difficult to activate the card, and then charge fees and keep the money. I am sure this is a regular occurrence. For me, please help me obtain a $40 refund. For the rest of the world, please shut this unethical company down. THANKS!

      Dear Mr. *********,

      This letter is in response to the complaint The Bancorp Bank, N.A. (“Bank”) received from the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) regarding your PayPal Prepaid Mastercard (“Card”).  The Bank provides banking services to Netspend Corporation (“Netspend”), the program manager.

      Our review of the records indicates on June 13, 2024, you contacted Customer Service to activate the Card. The agent, with whom you spoke with, was unable to verify your identity with the information provided; as a result, they could not proceed with activating the Card.

      On June 20, the Card was permanently closed, and a refund check request was initiated. Please note, the $4.95 Plan Fee has been credited along with the Card Purchase Fee of $2.95 so the refund amount is for $42.95.  Please allow ten (10) business days for the check to arrive at your W. End Ave. address.

      I had 3 unauthorized charges that I had disputed with chime as soon I recognized the charges I let them know and got a new card sent out after a day they denied it then I told them thats not fair because I didn’t make them unauthorized charges on my account and still refused to give me my money back and in chime policy they have Visa's Zero Liability Policy protects cardholders from unauthorized charges made with their Visa credit or debit card, whether online or offline, if the card is lost, stolen, or fraudulently used this is unfair that chime is going against there own policy. The transactions total:$1,510 and was made on 05/23/2024 January me transaction for $100 another for $400 and the last one for 1,000 i didn’t not authorize them charges.

      All of my accounts associated with this particular bank have been compromised as a result of fraudulent activities. Upon contacting the bank to contest all of the transactions, they merely replaced my credit cards and resolved the dispute on the same day. I have also submitted supporting documents for my other accounts to substantiate my claims. Unfortunately, my accounts remain in the negative, with no one having reviewed the provided documents, and they are still being utilized at this very moment. It is imperative that my accounts are restored to their original balance as soon as possible. Currently, only one of my bank accounts has issued a refund, while the other account with Chime has not taken any action. I have been a customer of this bank for six years and have never encountered this issue before.

      Better Business Bureau: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to my complaint and have determined that this does not resolve my  issue.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.After taking the necessary steps to ensure that this situation was going to be properly handled , I obtained a police report , filed complaints to the FBI IC3 , and have gone to collect further evidence , the outcome of providing all information to prove and show this indeed was a scam, have not been taken seriously. Speaking with the detective who called in regard to my police report I filed , he made a statement that there was nothing that could be done on their end due to the nature and location from the number(s) that have called. It is infuriating as well as heart-wrenching that Chime cannot see that the loss of my hard worked and hard earned money , fell victim to scammers and Chime has not been successful nor helpful in communicating why they keep denying me . They send me the documents that I have submitted with the same response that “ no error occurred “ but there is no in depth explanation as far as voicing my concerns not only for me but other victims such as myself who have been denied and are fighting for their voice to be heard . I have never had any problems with banking with them until now when it comes to money being lost/stolen under the terms of deception . In this situation a crime has occurred and this just proves to me that Chime will not treat their customers who have fallen victim to scammers, seriously or respectfully as I have obtained more than enough evidence to prove my victimization . To give up allows the scammers to win and continue to do what they do best and victimize more people . Chime should be considerate to these victims such as myself as many of those have children and families to care for . I was scammed to believing that my account was compromised and have voiced this everytime I speak with a representative regarding my dispute and rebuttals .  I am being pushed to the side hoping I can be silenced and give up so they can move on . It is discriminatory actions they are taking by not resolving this issue for what it is and assisting me in receiving these funds that were done so out of deception to deprive me of my money .  Regards, Complaint ID: 21761871

      I had a Visa virtual card that expired on January 2024, with a remaining balance of $126. When I contacted the company, they informed me that the entire amount is forfeited and cannot be retrieved. This is unacceptable, as other companies typically charge a $5 processing fee and refund the remaining balance. I believe this company's policy is fraudulent and unfair to consumers. I am seeking a resolution where the company refunds the remaining balance, minus a reasonable processing fee.

      I had an account with chime, Someone entered my account unlawfully and stole my whole SSA check. Plus my savings over 1000.00 in checking and close to 700 in savings. They closed my account and would not give me any info. Telling me account was closed, I never recouped my funds. I contacted chime and asked to show proof funds were taken. They agreed and sent a document attached to this for at least 77.00 of it. Though the signature on doc was not mine it was an Albert transaction but nit the bank account the funds were transferred to over 1800.00. I had a similar instance with my bancorp account with tire rack a tire Co distributer of pep boys it all has to do with Delaware stealing from other states, it's why Delaware is a duty free state meaning no taxes to pay state like. Pep boys Delaware same with batteries and starters now bancorp in Delaware, police usually run there when finished with their duty. They scam and cheat, some are dishonored even working for your financial institutions! It's been proven. The bank needs an audit!

      Our review of the records indicates on July 1, 2021, you contacted Chime to report an unauthorized transaction. A claim was opened, and the investigation began.

      On July 2, 2021, the investigation concluded, and it was determined an error occurred. On that same day, Chime had placed a credit on the account.

      On September 28, 2021, exercised their right as described in the Deposit Account Agreement to close the Account due to high-risk activity. On that same day, a SSA deposit for $1,082.00 was attempted, but returned to the SSA with the trace number *************83.  You will need to contact the Social Security Administration directly to reclaim your funds.

      We are unable to locate the referenced transactions for $1,000.00 and $1,800.00, nor could we identify a savings account. If you believe you have another Account, please provide the Account number or a statement reflecting these charges.

      The Account balance has a negative balance of -$95.00 so no refund will be issued.
