How to Transfer Money From Chime to Cash App
While Chime and Cash App are two separate financial platforms, you can actually link them together to transfer funds seamlessly. So, if you're looking to move money from your Chime account to your Cash App account, you're in the right place. To get started, you'll need to set up and link your accounts, but don't worry, it's easier than you think. Log into Cash App, navigate to 'Linked Accounts,' and add your Chime account by entering the required details. But here's the thing: there's a vital step that can make or break the transfer process…
Link Chime to Cash App
To initiate the transfer process, you'll need to link your Chime account to your Cash App account. You can do this by logging into your Cash App account and directing yourself to the 'Linked Accounts' or 'Banking' section. From there, select 'Link Bank' and enter your Chime account details, including the routing and account numbers. It's crucial to verify the accuracy of this information to avoid any issues with the transfer. Once you've entered the correct details, you'll receive a prompt to confirm the link. Confirm the link, and your Chime account will be connected to your Cash App account. This secure link will enable you to transfer funds seamlessly between the two accounts.
Open Cash App Account
Before initiating the transfer, you'll need to open your Cash App account, which will serve as the recipient account for the funds transferred from Chime. To guarantee a smooth transfer process, follow these steps to open your Cash App account:
- Launch the Cash App: Locate the Cash App icon on your mobile device and tap to open it.
- Enter your login credentials: Input your registered email address or phone number and password to access your account.
- Verify your account: If prompted, complete any additional verification steps to secure your account.
- Access your account dashboard: Once logged in, you'll be directed to your account dashboard, where you can initiate the transfer from Chime.
Once you're logged in to your Cash App account, navigate to the Linked Accounts section by tapping on the profile icon, usually located at the top right corner of the screen. This will take you to a new page where you can view and manage your linked accounts. Scroll down to find the 'Linked Accounts' or 'Banks' option and tap on it. This section allows you to add, edit, or remove linked accounts, including banks and other financial institutions. Verify you're in a secure environment when accessing this section to protect your account information. Familiarize yourself with the Linked Accounts section to facilitate smooth transactions. Take a moment to review your existing linked accounts before proceeding.
Select Chime Bank Option
In the Linked Accounts section, scroll through the list of available banks and financial institutions until you find the Chime Bank option. You'll need to select this option to link your Chime account to Cash App. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Make sure Chime is listed: If you don't see Chime Bank in the list, you may need to search for it or check that it's a supported institution.
- Check for multiple options: If you see multiple Chime Bank options, choose the one that matches your account type (e.g., checking or savings).
- Be cautious of similar names: Double-check that you're selecting the correct institution, as some names may be similar.
- Select the correct account: Choose the Chime account you want to link to Cash App.
Enter Chime Login Details
As you've selected Chime Bank, you'll now need to enter your Chime login details to authenticate your account and establish a link with Cash App. To do this, enter your Chime username and password in the required fields. Make sure you type your login credentials accurately to avoid any errors. If you're using a mobile device, consider using a password manager to autofill your login details securely. Confirm you're entering your login details on the official Cash App platform to maintain the security of your account. Don't share your login credentials with anyone, and avoid using public computers or unsecured networks to enter your sensitive information. By entering your Chime login details correctly, you'll be one step closer to linking your accounts and transferring money securely.
Authenticate Chime Account
Your Chime login details have been entered, so now Cash App will need to verify your account, which involves authenticating your Chime account through a separate verification process. To complete this step, you'll need to follow these steps:
- Wait for the verification prompt: Cash App will prompt you to verify your Chime account. This may take a few seconds to appear.
- Select the verification method: Choose the verification method you prefer, such as receiving a code via SMS or email.
- Enter the verification code: Enter the code you received via your chosen method.
- Confirm verification: Once the code is entered, confirm that you want to verify your Chime account.
Add Chime Debit Card
To link your Chime debit card to Cash App, you'll need to manually add the card details. This step is necessary to enable transactions between the two apps.
Card Details | Location on Card | Example |
---|---|---|
Card Number | Front of card | 1234 5678 9012 3456 |
Expiration Date | Front of card | 02/2025 |
Security Code | Back of card | 123 |

Make sure to accurately enter your Chime debit card details to avoid transactions being declined. Also, note that for your protection, Cash App may request additional verification steps when adding a new card.
Initiate Money Transfer
With your Chime debit card successfully linked to Cash App, you can now proceed to initiate a money transfer by following a few simple steps within the Cash App interface. To start the transfer process:

- Choose Your Funding Source: Select your linked Chime debit card as the funding source for the transfer.
Confirm Transfer Details
Confirming the transfer details involves verifying the accuracy of the transaction information to guarantee a smooth transfer of funds from your Chime account to Cash App. You'll want to double-check the recipient's information, the transfer amount, and any fees associated with the transaction.
Transfer Detail | Information to Verify | Why It Matters |
