Chime

That unmistakable clink. It’s the sound of a card that feels different—because it is. Getting there took 30+ prototypes, months of testing, and input from members who pushed us to build something better. From selecting materials to redesigning the packaging, every detail of the new Chime Card™ was debated, tested, and pressure-checked—until it felt just right. In part two of our behind-the-scenes look, follow Cheryl Della Rosa, Lead Product Operations Manager, as we go inside the production journey to see how cross-functional teams brought the design to life. Built by Chimers. For our members. This is progress.

🏆 Two Anthem Awards. One mission: Unlock Financial Progress™. Presented by the Webby Awards, The Anthem Awards honor purpose-driven work that sparks social impact. This year, Chime was recognized for two community-first initiatives: 🎤 Mama, I Made It x Big Sean — A Detroit event empowering youth with mental wellness and money tools, featuring Big Sean, his mom, and local nonprofits. 🏘️ Life in the Neighborhood — A hands-on budgeting simulation bringing financial education to high school students in Dallas and Boulder. These activations are more than creative campaigns; they’re examples of how we’re building trust and making a real impact in the communities we serve. That feels like progress™.

🦃 Thanksgiving 2025 is evolving—and it doesn’t have to break the bank. Our new research shows Americans will spend about $1,000 on the holiday this year—from food and drinks to décor, travel, and even last-minute surprises. But despite rising costs, many are getting creative—hosting smaller gatherings, skipping travel, or sharing the cost of the meal to celebrate smarter. 💚 As Janelle Sallenave, Chime’s Chief Spending Officer, puts it: “Thanksgiving should be about connection, not cost.” At Chime, we’re proud to spotlight the smart financial choices helping Americans make the most of the season—without the stress.

AI can’t replicate your brand’s purpose—or your personality. At Money20/20, Chime CMO Vineet Mehra shared how AI is reshaping marketing—and why brand is the ultimate differentiator. “In a world where most of us have access to the same foundational AI tools, the real differentiator is brand. Ironically, the more tech we have, the more important brand and creativity become. AI can handle the repetitive work, but it can’t replace human purpose.” His team’s solution? A custom-trained brand GPT—a dataset built from a decade of Chime’s greatest hits: visuals, stories, and community moments. It helps internal teams generate content that still feels like Chime: approachable, friendly, and real.

At TechCrunch Disrupt, Chime CEO Chris Britt spoke on what it takes to build a generational company and take it public. His advice for founders? 💬 💡Lead with conviction and execute “We got a lot of no’s in the early days, but if you feel in your heart that you have a concept that can actually work and you can prove that you can execute against a plan, anything is possible.” 👥 Build the right team “The team around you is more important than anything. No one’s a one-person show. You can set the vision and build the culture, but if your lieutenants aren’t living and breathing the same doctrine, it all falls apart.” 🤝 Find the right investors that believe in you “Build an investor base of high-integrity people that believe in you as a leader and believe in the mission of the company, not people that might be caught up in the ‘hype cycle.’” Watch the full talk → https://lnkd.in/gVC5yfyr
