What makes Credit Builder different from traditional credit cards?
Unlike traditional credit cards, Credit Builder helps you build credit with no fees and no interest. There’s also no credit check to apply!
Credit Builder is a secured credit card. The money you move into Credit Builder’s secured account is the amount you can spend on the card. Unlike other secured credit cards, that money can be used to pay off your monthly balances. Since Credit Builder doesn’t have a pre-set limit, spending up to the amount you added won’t contribute to a high-utilization record on your credit history.
Learn more about how Credit Builder works.
Yes, Credit Builder is a secured credit card. The money you move to the Credit Builder secured account is how much you can spend with the card. This amount is often referred to by other secured credit cards as the security deposit. Like other secured credit cards, Credit Builder also reports to the major credit bureaus, to help you build credit history over time.
However, for most secured credit cards, security deposits are unavailable to you, the consumer, until you close the account. With Credit Builder, you can use your deposit to pay for monthly charges. Plus, Credit Builder charges no fees and no interest, and no minimum security deposit required!
Yes, Credit Builder reports to the 3 major credit bureaus—TransUnion®, Experian® and Equifax®
Credit Builder doesn’t have a pre-set credit limit. Instead, the money you move into your Credit Builder secured account sets your spending limit on the card.
With traditional credit cards, using a high percentage of your available credit limit could negatively impact your credit score. You don’t have to worry about that with Credit Builder because Chime does not report credit utilization.
How much you can spend with Credit Builder is shown to you as Available to Spend in the Chime app.
If I use all the money I add into Credit Builder, will Credit Builder report high utilization and hurt my credit score?
Nope. Credit Builder doesn’t report percent utilization to the major credit bureaus because it has no pre-set credit limit. That means spending up to the amount you added will not show a high-utilization card on your credit history. So rest assured to use Credit Builder for your everyday purchases and let them count towards credit building!

How long does it take for my Credit Builder card to arrive?
After you enroll, it’ll take on average 5-7 business days for your Credit Builder card to arrive.
It’s easy! Just go to the Chime app > Settings > Credit Builder > Activate Card.
You can use the Credit Builder card anywhere Visa® credit cards are accepted.
It is an account that holds the money you’ve moved to Credit Builder. This money determines the amount you can spend with your Credit Builder card (a.k.a credit limit). You get to set your own limit by moving any amount to and from your Credit Builder secured account whenever you want.
When you make a purchase, a hold is placed on that money you just spent in your secured account. You can use this money later, to pay your monthly balance. Your Available to Spend will also go down. This way, you know how much more you can spend with your Credit Builder card.
Your Available to Spend is the money you’ve moved to your Credit Builder secured account minus the amount you’ve charged on your Credit Builder card. Move money from your Chime Spending Account into Credit Builder to increase Available to Spend any time!
Can I move money into my Credit Builder secured account from another bank?
No, you cannot move money from other banks to your Credit Builder secured account. You can only do that from your Chime Spending Account.
How long does it take to move money between my Credit Builder secured account and Spending Account?
Moving money between Chime Spending Account and Credit Buildertakes ~60 seconds! Once the transfer is complete, your transaction history will reflect the change and your Available to Spend will update.
Safer Credit Building is a feature that allows you to automatically pay your monthly balance with the money in your Credit Builder secured account. Turn it on, so your monthly balances are always paid on time! Learn more about how it works here.
Move My Pay is an optional Credit Builder feature that allows you to automatically move a set amount from your Spending Account to Credit Builder whenever you get paid. You can always make changes or move money between your Chime accounts at any time.
You can pay off your Credit Builder charges in 3 ways:
- Our recommendation is to turn on Safer Credit Building. When you make a purchase, the money you spent is put on hold in your secured account. Safer Credit Building uses that money to automatically pay your monthly balance. This will help you avoid late payments and outstanding balances.
- If Safer Credit Building is not turned on, Manual Payments can still be made at any time by going to Settings → Safer Credit Building → Make a Payment.
- ACH Payments can be made from any bank by using Credit Builder’s account and routing numbers. To find them, go to Settings → Safer Credit Building → Make a Payment → Paying with another bank
Credit Builder statements are available by the 28th of each month and due on the 23rd of the following month.
If you miss a payment, we’ll disable your Credit Builder card and ask you to pay your overdue balance. See “How and when do I pay off the card?” on how to make a payment.
If your balance due isn’t paid in full after 30 days, we may report information about your account to the major credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected on your credit report.
