Can Chime receive money from Cash App?

Yes, Chime can receive money from Cash App. People using Cash App can send money to anyone who has a properly set up and linked bank account including people who use Chime.

You can also send money to Chime from your own Cash App (for example if you're investing and turning a profit). The process of transferring funds from Cash App to your own bank is known as "cashing out". (3)

To send money using Cash App, open the app and tap the "send" icon. Enter the amount you want to send, then type in your recipient's name or email address.
To receive money using Cash App, open the app and tap the "receive" icon. Enter your bank or PayPal account information to receive funds from anyone who sends you money on the Cash App.

If you'd rather not pay these fees, you can also directly link to your Chime Bank account. We show you exactly how below.

Install Cash App on your preferred device if you haven't done so already. You can do so for free on Android and iOS devices. Once you have Cash App installed, open it to continue linking it to your Chime account.

2) Click on the Bank Icon in the Bottom Left Corner

Once you have Cash App open, simply click on the bank icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.

3) Click on "Link Bank"
