UPDATE: 04/24/26: The customer uploaded a bill and requested a refund before the completion of our clearly stated 7–10 business day processing timeline. At their request, the bill was not processed. The customer also confirmed that they filed a dispute with their financial institution. Per our policy, we do not issue refunds while a dispute is active to avoid duplicate reimbursement. After the customer advised that their dispute with Chime was denied, we issued a refund of $500 back to the card on file. Any delay or change in how the refund is received (including a mailed check) is determined by the customer’s financial institution, particularly if the original account is no longer active, and is outside of our control. Additionally, subscription fees are non-refundable, as clearly disclosed and agreed to by the customer at the time of sign-up.
We maintain transparent policies, including our processing timeline, which customers must review and accept prior to using our service.
The customer filed a dispute with her bank while also requesting a refund, which may result in a duplicate refunds. As outlined in our terms and conditions, once a dispute is initiated with the bank, we are unable to process an additional refund because the disputed amount is immediately withdrawn from our account. We recommend allowing the bank dispute process to proceed to resolution.
