How to apply for the Chime Card™
A Simple Way to Build Credit Without Annual Fees or Interest
Por: My Next Credit
The Chime Card™ is a secured credit card designed for people who want to build their credit history while keeping spending under control. Instead of receiving a traditional preset credit limit, the amount available to spend is based on the money added to the secured account.
Chime reports payment activity to the three major credit bureaus, which can help build credit over time when payments are made on time. There is no annual fee, no interest and no credit check required to apply, making the card easier to understand for people who are starting or rebuilding their credit history.
