Introducing the Chime Temporary Digital Card
The Chime Temporary Card is a digital version of the Chime Debit Card. It serves as a temporary solution while you wait for your permanent card to arrive. With the Chime Mobile app, you can access these funds easily and use them both online and at stores. However, it’s essential to note that the Chime Temporary Digital Card can only be used in scenarios where you don’t have a physical card with you.

Additional Useful Information
Transferring Money
If you wish to transfer money from your Chime account to another bank, you can do so by linking the bank account within the Chime app itself. Alternatively, you can add your temporary card to wallets like Apple Pay or Venmo, transfer the funds from your Chime Card, and withdraw the amount to your other bank account. Remember that fees may be involved when using these options.
Loading Cash
Unfortunately, you cannot load cash directly onto your Chime Temporary Card. However, you can still transfer money from your Chime account to other cards, such as the Cash app. Keep in mind that the fees associated with this method may be higher than other options.
ATMs and Chime Temporary Card
It’s important to note that the Chime Temporary Card cannot be used to withdraw money from an ATM. For that, you will need a physical Chime Debit Card. However, you can easily transfer funds from your Chime Temporary Card to another physical debit card and withdraw money from any ATM using that card.
Using the Chime Virtual Card Online
You can seamlessly add your Chime Virtual Card to any merchant app, just like you would with any other debit or credit card. No issues at all!
