CHYM

Chime Financial, Inc.

A digital-first financial platform, Chime offers fee-free checking and savings accounts, debit and secured credit cards, early paycheck access, and credit-building tools to everyday Americans through FDIC-insured bank partners. Founded in 2012 by Chris Britt and Ryan King, it launched its services on The Dr. Phil Show in 2014. The name evokes the pleasant "ping" of money arriving, chosen to feel warm and clear rather than cold and institutional like a traditional bank.
