How interchange fees enable fee-free7, innovative products

Traditional banks charge fees to offset the cost to serve their customers, which puts their incentives out of alignment with customers’ best interests.

Unlike them, we generate most of our revenue through interchange fees, which are small fees charged to merchants, not consumers, and generated every time a member swipes their Chime Card. This means our interests are aligned with our members’ interests—and we can provide best-in-class, fee-free banking products that help Americans make real progress toward their goals.

Because of our interchange-powered business model, Chime Workplace is free for employers and employees alike.

By using Chime Workplace, government agencies can provide meaningful new benefits without impacting your budget.


Our fee-free1, best-in-class products make it simple and seamless for employees to access low-cost liquidity when they need it, get higher savings rates, and build credit safely. Additionally, all of our products offer built-in financial education, so the more employees engage with them, the more savvy they become about their own finances.
