If you can't find it, contact Chime's customer support to ask about your eligibility. Make certain your Chime account is active, funded, and in good standing. Additionally, verify that your account has not been restricted or suspended due to security concerns. Resolving any account issues prior to attempting a transfer can help guarantee a smooth experience.
