Chime is a financial technology company that has online banking services. Similar to Zelle, you can send money to others in a few simple steps. However, you cannot currently connect Zelle to Chime and vice versa. While this may change in the future, there are plenty of ways to send money to and from your Chime account. This wikiHow will show you the alternatives to using Zelle with Chime with the "Pay Anyone" feature, Venmo, and Cash App on your iPhone, iPad, or Android.

Things You Should Know

  • You can't currently link Zelle with Chime, but you can use the "Pay Anyone" feature.
  • Open Chime and tap "Pay Anyone". Enter a $ChimeSign, email address, or phone number. Enter an amount and tap "Pay".
  • Alternatively, add your Chime card to Venmo or Cash App. Then, send money through the app using your card.

You'll just need to provide their $ChimeSign or phone number/email address to get started.
