How to Transfer Money from Apple Pay to Chime?
There are two ways you can transfer funds from your card in Apple Pay to your account on Chime: standard transfers and instant transfers. Let us look at each of these methods separately.
Instant Transfers
Instant transfers work like traditional ACH (automated clearing house) transactions, meaning they happen instantly once initiated.
Here is how to transfer money using the instant transfer option.
- Locate the Apple Wallet on your iPhone and open it.
- Click on the Apple Cash Card link on the top with an Apple icon.
- Locate three dots on the top right and click for more options.
- On the right below the card picture, tap on “Transfer to Bank.”
- Enter the amount you wish to transfer and click next.
- Select the instant transfer option.
- If you haven’t already added a compatible debit card, hit Add Card and follow the onscreen directions.
- Select the Chime Visa Debit card when prompted.
Once done, confirm the transaction and wait for the transfer to complete. Transactions take up to 30 minutes to process, and there is a fee per transaction when using this method.
Standard Transfers
A standard transfer will exhibit almost the same steps. The only difference is the addition of your Chime accounting and routing numbers.
Let’s see how you go about it.
- Open the Apple Wallet on your iPhone.
- Click on Apple Cash Card.
- Click on the three dots representing the settings tab for more options.
- Select the Transfer to Bank option.
- Enter the amount you intend to transfer and click on Next.
- Proceed by clicking on the 1-3 days option.
- Select a verification method such as Face ID, Touch ID, or a simple passcode.
- Click on Money Transfer.
- Once you confirm the transfer, wait 1-3 days for the transaction to complete.
Standard transfers take 1-3 business days to transfer the money into your account after initiating the transfer. They have no fees attached, so they’re an excellent option, especially if you don’t need access to the money immediately.
Can You Link a Chime Card to Apple Pay?
Yes, you can link your Chime debit card to Apple Pay. Adding a Chime Visa debit card to Apple Pay is as simple as selecting the “Add Credit or Debit Card” option in the Wallet app.
It is important to remember that this service is only available on compatible iPhones running iOS 8.1 or later.
How to Add Chime to Apple Pay Without a Card?
At this time, you can’t add Chime to Apple Pay without using a card.
How Long Does Apple Pay Take to Transfer to Chime?
When transferring money from Apple Pay to Chime, the amount of time the transaction takes depends on the method used to make the transfer.
For instance, if you choose the instant transfer method, it will take only about 30 minutes for your funds to show up in your account.
Using the standard bank transfer method can take three business days for your funds to be deposited into your account and appear in Chime as an available balance.
The instant transfers work best when you need to access your funds quickly. On the other hand, standard transfers are ideal for when there is a more extended timeframe before the transfer is required.
Are There Fees When Using Apple Pay with Chime?
There are no fees when you use your Chime Visa® or Debit Card with Apple Pay. You can use your Chime card anywhere that accepts Apple Pay, including in-app purchases, online, and in stores.
Plus, you’ll get the great benefits of using your Chime card, like earning cash back, security features, and more.
Does Chime SpotMe Work with Apple Pay?
Yes, you can easily use Apple Pay with the Chime SpotMe feature if you have it activated. You only need to link or add your Chime debit card to Apple Pay.
Chime offers free overdraft protection on transactions made with debit cards and cash withdrawals up to $200. Limitations and eligibility conditions apply depending on Chime-based factors such as account activity and history.
Suppose you have enabled the Chime SpotMe function, and your Chime card does not have enough available balance to cover the cost of your purchase.
In that case, the Chime SpotMe feature will immediately kick in to cover the remaining balance.
