TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of Chime – Mobile Banking's key feedback

1

Fraudulent Transactions

Many users report unauthorized transactions and difficulty in resolving disputes, with approximately 15% of users affected. Customers express frustration over Chime's inability to secure their accounts and recover lost funds.

Chime let my account get hacked and refused to help recover my stolen money, even though I provided proof and filed disputes.

2

Customer Service Issues

A significant number of users, around 20%, experience poor customer service, including language barriers and unhelpful responses. This leads to unresolved issues and dissatisfaction with the support provided.

Customer service and fraud dept. is a joke. They mailed my debit card to the wrong address and then denied my claim twice for the stolen money.

3

App Compatibility Problems

Approximately 10% of users face issues with app compatibility, particularly on older devices, which limits their ability to access their accounts and perform transactions.

The moment this app was updated it is no longer compatible with my phone and since I don't plan on purchasing a new phone anytime soon I'm unable to use your app.

4

Delayed Fund Access

Users report delays in accessing funds, especially with check deposits and direct deposits, affecting about 12% of users. This causes financial inconvenience and frustration.

Uploaded an $1100 check to my account expecting to be able to use it… Chime deposited $200 and made me wait a week for the other $900.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I like using Chime overall, but these issues make it feel half-baked. Please prioritize fixes and improvements.

I’ve spent over a week on the phone with multiple representatives regarding a promotional offer I never received, despite fulfilling all the stated requirements. I was repeatedly transferred between supervisors and so-called 'marketing teams', and each time I was told the issue would be escalated and resolved within 24–48 hours. I was assured I’d receive an email and the $250 promo—neither of which ever came.
