Mobile Payments Done Right
That starts with no fees. Ever. We believe sending money should always be free, so we do not charge the common wire fees charged by other mobile payment apps, because you can transfer money for free between Chime online bank accounts. Just like our commitment to providing you a Checking Account with no hidden fees, when you pay friends, family, or anyone, there will always be no fees.
Access Your Money Instantly from other Chime Members
Pay Friends is different than other Peer 2 Peer (P2P) payment apps because Pay Friends is connected to your bank account. No need to worry about connecting your Chime Checking Account to yet another money transfer app, simply use Pay Friends with total convenience.
Mobile Payments on iPhone® & Android™
Pay Friends is available on both iOS and Android and can be used to transfer money to friends regardless of which device they use. Pay Friends will automatically pull in your contacts from your contact list to help you find and pay friends quickly. You can also pay friends or family using their phone number or email address.
