Adding a Chime account to Zelle is an easy and secure way to send money directly from your bank account. To get started, the first step is to enroll your Chime account in Zelle.
Firstly, you need to create a Zelle profile through the Zelle app or your bank’s mobile banking app. Follow the instructions within the app when creating your profile. Enter your personal information like your name, date of birth and address.
You can also create a recipient profile for people you plan to send money to.
Once you’ve configured your account, add your Chime account to the Zelle network. To do this, navigate to the “Settings” section. You will find your bank’s information listed under the “My Bank Accounts” tab.
Select the “Add a Bank Account” option, then choose “Chime” from the list of banks.
You will then be prompted to enter your Chime online banking credentials. Then click “Next” and Chime will be added to your list of bank accounts in the Zelle app.
Verify the account by confirming the two small deposits that Chime will make into your Chime account. Once you’ve confirmed the deposits, your Chime account will be linked to Zelle. You may also need to provide additional documentation to prove your identity or address.
You can now send and receive money from your Chime account through Zelle. You’re all set to start using Zelle with your Chime account!

Why can’t I link my Chime to Zelle?
Unfortunately, you cannot link your Chime account to Zelle at this time. This is something that Chime is not currently able to offer to its customers. Zelle is an online money transfer service offered by a consortium of over 30 banks and financial institutions that allows customers to easily send and receive money in a secure and efficient manner.
The only way to link your Chime account to Zelle is to link it to a participating bank or financial institution that participates with Zelle, and at this time Chime does not participate with Zelle. However, you can still use your Chime debit card to make purchases and transfer money to friends and family.
What bank does Chime use for Zelle?
Chime uses the banking services of Lincoln Savings Bank to provide Zelle transactions as part of their mobile banking app. Zelle is a fast, safe, and convenient way to send and receive money between almost anyone with a US bank account.

S. mobile number must be registered with Chime. When you receive money through Zelle, the money is deposited directly into your Chime Spending Account.
