Chime is a San Francisco-based FinTech platform that partners with two U.S. banks – The Bancorp Bank and Stride Bank – to serve a membership clientele of “everyday Americans” earning $100,000 a year or less.
Fifty-five percent of Chime’s members are female and the average age is 36, although its members “range from young adults to those over 60,” the prospectus said.
SoFi and PayPal are considered to be among Chime’s competitors.
Chime had “8.6 million Active Members, with 67 percent of them relying on Chime to serve as their primary financial relationship as of March 31, 2025,” the prospectus said. “In the first quarter of 2025, our Active Members used Chime for 54 transactions per month, on average, of which 75 percent were purchase transactions using Chime-branded debit and credit cards. Seventy percent of purchase transactions are for non-discretionary expenses made in categories such as food and groceries, gas, and utilities.”
For the full year 2024, Chime reported a net loss of $25.34 million on revenue of $1.67 billion.
