ByHow to Delete Your Chime Account Without The Hassle
When Chime launched its "fee-free" banking app, over 10 million people downloaded this exciting new banking option. However, just like any other new app, you may have decided that Chime isn't for you. If you're now wondering you may have noticed that Chime's website doesn't really have the answer. Don't worry—we have the answer.
If you're looking for an easy way to delete your Chime account or delete another account, like Venmo, eHarmony, or Facebook, then DoNotPay is here to help.
What to Do Before Closing Your Chime Account
Unfortunately, the first step in deleting your Chime account is to make sure your account is able to be deleted in the first place. Even though Chime's major selling point is the promise of no overdraft fees, you may face surprise issues when trying to close your account, especially if you have a negative balance or a pending investigation on your account.
To be allowed to cancel your Chime account, you must first check a few things:
- Check to see what your account balance is. If it's positive, transfer your money to another account. If it's negative, you must first pay back this balance before you are allowed to delete your account.
- Verify that you don't have any pending investigations against your account. You should be able to see this on your account dashboard.
- Make sure you are the owner of the account.
- Unlink your bank accounts from your Chime account to avoid any surprise charges.
After verifying those few things, you now should be able to close your Chime account.
