App for iPhone (iOS)

The Wallet app is connected with Apple Pay to any iPhone model. You are given an option to install Apple Pay when you set up your new smartphone. If you have an iTunes account, it is made available to you instantly upon Apple Pay setup.

You may add your Chime Visa Debit Card by utilizing the iSight camera to record your card data instantaneously or manually inputting them.

Restart your device. To restart your device, click the power off button for a few seconds and select restart from the menu. You can now start to access the app; it should work fine.

If none of the above work, you can sit tight until your phone's battery is low and it shuts down instantly. After that, turn it on and click the start button. It might work after that.

If nothing else works, you will need to uninstall and download the application. If you've previously activated it, the operating system will generally give you the possibility to recover settings and content from backup.

The App is Not Loading or Functioning Properly

A few scenarios may result in a load problem in mobile applications.

Solution: The Chime mobile banking app server could be down, causing the loading problem. It would be best to give it a rest and then try again in a few minutes.
