Crypto to Chime
Move your crypto into Chime.
Chime does not support crypto, so you cannot send coins to it directly. Instead, choose Chime as your payout, enter your Chime account and routing number, and send your coins to the address on your order page. Once they confirm, we send a dollar deposit to Chime, which usually arrives in 1 to 2 business days. The fee is 1%, from $50 up to $1,000 per order.

The situation
Crypto and Chime, and how to bridge the two
Chime is a US money app for everyday spending and paychecks. It states that it does not offer stablecoins or any kind of crypto right now. There is no coin address in the app and nothing to buy, sell or hold.
The usual route is long: open an exchange account, pass its ID check, sell, withdraw to Chime, then wait. Here it is one order. You send the coins you already hold, and we send dollars to your Chime account, the same kind of deposit an employer makes.
We only need your Chime account and routing number, the two numbers shown in the app for direct deposits. We never ask for your Chime login, card number or PIN.
Chime and crypto
Can you send crypto to Chime?
Not directly. Chime only handles dollars. It does accept a normal deposit to your account and routing number, and that is how we pay you.

Cost and timing

One fee, shown before you send, and no spread in the rate. Your coin sets how soon the deposit starts.
Example
Your coin's network cost is on top: a fraction of a cent on Solana or XRP, about $2 to $4 for USDT on Tron.
Our pick for Chime: USDT on Tron. It holds a dollar value while it confirms, and its network cost of about $2 to $4 is small next to the deposit.
Coin confirmation times. We send your Chime deposit as soon as they finish.

Tips
Five tips for a smooth Chime deposit
- 1
Paste both numbers from the Chime app
Copy them rather than typing. One wrong digit can send the deposit back.
- 2
Order early on a business day
Deposits move on business days, so a Friday night order lands after the weekend.
- 3
Keep each order at $1,000 or less
For more, split it over several orders, or use ACH for $1,000 to $15,000.
- 4
Send within 20 minutes
That keeps the quote you saw, to the cent.
- 5
Save your order reference
It is the first thing support asks for, and your record for tax.
Sorting problems
If your Chime deposit hits a snag
I entered a wrong number
Send support your order reference and the right account and routing number. Before the deposit leaves, we can correct it. If it comes back, we resend it once you confirm the details.
The deposit is not in Chime yet
Check your order page first, and count only business days. If it shows paid and two business days have passed, contact support with your reference.
I need more than $1,000
Place a few Chime orders, or choose ACH, which goes up to $15,000 per order to any US bank account.
I sent on the wrong network
Contact support with your order reference and the transaction ID. We check what reached us and tell you the options.
