Summary

This policy explains how Chime collects and shares your financial and personal information, including with outside companies for marketing. By default, your data is shared with nonaffiliated companies for marketing unless you opt out through the Chime Privacy Hub, and some sharing — such as joint marketing with other financial companies — cannot be limited at all. Your information continues to be shared even after you stop being a Chime customer.

Analysis

This document establishes Chime's (operating through The Bancorp Bank, N.A.) data collection, sharing, and protection practices for customer financial information. It sets out a default-sharing posture in which customer data is shared with nonaffiliated companies for marketing purposes unless customers take affirmative action to opt out through the Chime Privacy Hub, while joint marketing sharing with other financial companies is non-limitable by customers. State-specific provisions grant California, North Dakota, and Vermont residents stronger default protections, including restricted external sharing and, for North Dakota residents, automatic opt-out from nonaffiliate marketing. The document further establishes that sharing continues after the customer relationship ends, that personal information is collected from third-party sources including credit bureaus and affiliates, and that security measures are maintained in compliance with federal law.

What this means for you

As a Chime customer, your personal and financial information is shared with nonaffiliated companies for marketing purposes by default; if you are a new customer, this sharing can begin 30 days from when the notice was sent. You can opt out of nonaffiliate data sharing by visiting the Chime Privacy Hub. California residents have an additional opt-out available specifically for joint marketing via the Chime Privacy Hub or the California Financial Information Privacy Act Opt-Out Form. North Dakota residents are automatically opted out of nonaffiliate marketing without needing to take action. Vermont residents' personal, financial, credit, and health information will not be disclosed to nonaffiliated third parties for marketing without legal permission or your explicit authorization. Regardless of state, you cannot limit sharing for joint marketing with other financial companies, and your information continues to be shared under the notice's terms even after you are no longer a customer.

6 important changes detected

6 versions captured · Last updated: July 2026

What changed Chime's privacy policy was reorganized in an update detected on July 19, 2026. The policy removed repeated rows in its sharing disclosure table that detailed opt-out availability for specific data-sharing scenarios (marketing purposes, joint marketing, affiliate transactions, affiliate creditworthiness, and nonaffiliate marketing). The updated policy now consolidates this information into a single statement directing users to the Chime Privacy Hub to submit opt-outs, rather than listing opt-out availability next to each individual sharing category.
Why this matters The updated policy clarifies how Chime handles data sharing and opt-out requests. Instead of repeating opt-out availability statements for each type of data sharing (marketing, joint marketing, affiliate transactions, and nonaffiliate marketing), the policy now directs all users to submit opt-outs through the Chime Privacy Hub. The substantive opt-out mechanism remains available; this change reorganizes how that information is presented in the disclosure document. You can submit opt-outs through the Chime Privacy Hub.

What changed Chime updated its privacy policy on July 9, 2026 to reorganize and expand disclosure of how it collects and shares customer financial information. The policy now explicitly structures information-sharing reasons using a 'FACTS: Why/What/How' framework, adds clearer formatting with bullet points, and includes new disclosures about opt-out mechanisms through the Chime Privacy Hub and a 30-day notice period for new customers. The substantive sharing practices and opt-out rights described remain consistent with the prior version, but the presentation and accessibility of these terms have been materially reorganized.
Why this matters The updated policy makes existing privacy disclosures more accessible through clearer organization and formatting but does not materially change what financial information Chime collects or how it shares that information. The policy continues to state that Chime shares information for everyday business purposes, marketing, and affiliate activities. You can limit sharing of affiliate creditworthiness information and nonaffiliate marketing through the Chime Privacy Hub, and the policy now explicitly references this opt-out mechanism.
