What believers are saying

  • Chime's acquisition of Salt Labs and the launch of Chime Enterprise indicate a strategic expansion into the enterprise market, potentially increasing user growth through employer partnerships.

  • Chime's focus on financial literacy and unique initiatives like Coloring Budgets and partnerships with cultural icons like T-Pain enhance its brand appeal and customer engagement.

What critics are saying

  • Regulatory changes affecting interchange fees and overdraft policies could impact Chime's revenue model, which heavily relies on these fees.
