False advertising
September 2, 2023

Chime is the worst and their customer support is horrid. I have been a long time customer with Chime. I only had one incident where I reported a fraudulent transactions and was told the distance from the restaurant to my home is in close proximity, Chime denied my claim. Even though I had proof it wasn't me. This happened 3yrs ago. Fast forward to what brought me here. Chime motto"Banking made easy" is false advertising. Talking to Chime customer support is like talking to a brick wall. My employer sent my payroll check to chime for direct deposit 3 days before payday. On payday the money isn't in my chime account. I went through the app to speak with someone. This was a major headache and causing me so much Anxiety. I talked through Chime chat and spoken on the phone with several agents only to get the run around. I was told by several Chime reps that they can't see my direct deposit until it's posted. I then asked so where's my money and was told it's in processing. I then asked what stage in the process is my direct deposit? I was told by multiple Chime agents that they couldn't see the process only when it's posted. Again what is customer service for if they can't answer simple questions. Chime also said they release your money as soon as it's deposited. This is a lie and false advertising. Your direct deposit goes through a third party process before it's posted into your account. Chime holds your money and release it when they want to. I was also told I have to wait 2 pay cycles (a month) to get my money. Even though I have been with Chime for over 7 years. I will be closing this account. Please beware don't use chime its a rip off and they don't offer immediate release of your funds=false advertising.

BEWARE!
December 20, 2023

I was scammed out of almost 3k by a Chime employee... Chime continues to deny my claim even after proof was given. DON'T PUT LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY IN A CHIME ACCOUNT! You've been warned!

Their CEO claims to expect and cultivates customer centrict workforce for Chime. What a blatant falsehood! My fiancée made a hotel reservation through Hotwire but failed to mention an additional 100 room deposit but quickly removing 52.75 from his account. We have provided written documentation from the hotel's manager and general manager that we did not receive the room, their employee not my fiancée canceled the reservation due to Hotwire's FTC violating ads that do not disclose all PROBABLE charges to receive the services requested. Hotel manager also included her information so Chimes disputes department & the magical unicorn known as the "investigation team" could contact her. Chime claims on the website landing page to honor visa's " 0 consumer liability" but they do not as anyone requesting an immediate refund for fraudulent charges, (ie monies taken for services not rendered, prices falsely represented, etc) can expect den8al of the up-front refund, hung up on repeatedly by the disputes department, inauthentic apologies, repeatedly informed (after spending 20 to 30 mins repeatin yourself to customer service tier 1 & 2, and disputes tier 1 & 2) that it's "being worked on" but you as a consumer aren't given the option of having a disputes manager take ownership of the issue until resolution like 90% of call centers & business services companies expect here in the US. But expect, as stated before to be hung up on, lied to, have individuals pretend to be members of upper management such as operations managers, quality assurance trainers, etc but do nit expect a resolution after doing all the leg work to prove your claim is valid, should be refunded, and sending the same information multiple times as items like this seem to disappear almost as quickly as you receive their automated message that your email was received.
