Summer’s moving fast, but your Chime app doesn’t have to slow down. We squashed a few bugs and made performance updates to keep things running smoothly. Tap update and get back to soaking up the season.

Here's a fun fact: the smoothest things in life usually take the most work behind the scenes. Ice rinks. Hotel beds. Your favorite banking app. Our engineers have been busy fixing bugs and fine-tuning performance so everything feels just a little more effortless. All that's left for you is tapping "Update."

Ever notice how a fresh set of sheets somehow makes everything feel better? That’s kind of what this update is like. We tidied up bugs, smoothed out performance, and gave your favorite banking app a nice little refresh. Sleep better? We can’t promise that. A smoother app? That’s the idea.

There are three types of people in the summer: the ones who are always outside doing something fun, the ones scrolling through everyone else's vacation photos thinking, "Next weekend for sure", and us—the ones who just want you to update your Chime app. No matter which one you are, you'll all benefit from having a fast-running finances. We we're born to be type 3.

Summer is peak seafood season, which raises an important question: are crabs, shrimp, and lobsters just...the bugs of the sea? Think about it. Exoskeletons. Scuttling around. Too many legs. But you lather those things in butter and yee-haw partner. Curious. Anyway, while scientists sort that one out, we've been busy squashing the actual bugs in your Chime app and making performance improvements. Tap update and enjoy the freshest experience of the season.

In honor of Father's Day, we'd like to channel some classic dad energy: preventative maintenance. Check the air filter. Rotate the tires. Update your Chime app. One of those is a lot easier than the others, and it comes with fresh bug fixes and performance improvements to keep things running smoothly. No, not the air filter thing. Although technically, we are trying to keep bugs out.

ATTENTION BUGS: If you're reading this, we've already won. The update is live. Your maps are useless. Your tunnels have been discovered. Your spies have been compromised. Retreat immediately. Everyone else, just tap update and enjoy the latest performance improvements.

Summer Fridays are almost upon us. The vibes are up, the group chats are active, and someone you know is already talking about “lake energy.” While everyone else is making plans, we’ve been making performance improvements and fixing bugs to keep your Chime app running beautifully all season long. Financial progress never takes PTO.

Memorial Day weekend mode: activated. Whether you're heading out of town, firing up the grill, or just soaking up a long weekend, we made sure your Chime app is keeping up. This week's update includes bug fixes and performance improvements to make things smoother, faster, and less glitchy than your group chat trying to plan brunch.

You ever open one tab to look something up, then suddenly you’ve got 37 tabs open and you’re somehow reading about deep-sea aliens at 1am? The human brain is mysterious. Luckily, app updates are simpler. This week, we cleaned up bugs and made performance improvements so your Chime experience stays smooth, fast, and focused. No weird internet rabbit holes required.

Chime Prime is here. We’ve been working on something new to help you get more from your everyday—like earning more on savings and getting extra value in the places you already spend. It’s all built right into the Chime experience you know and love. Tap update and take a look around.

We did a little routine maintenance this week—nothing dramatic, just the good stuff. A handful of bug fixes, a few performance upgrades, and a smoother experience all around. It’s the kind of update you don’t notice. Until you do. Then you're like "Wow I'm so happy I updated my app this week and I definitely am going to do it every week from now on and will set a reminder on my phone so I don't ever forget". Or something like that.

We’ve been working on something new—and it’s almost here. Chime Prime is rolling out soon. It’s designed to give you more from your everyday, like: • 5% cash back on a category you choose • Higher savings APY to grow your money • Credit building with everyday purchases • And other Premium perks along the way All on top of fee-free banking you know and love. In the meantime, update your app for bug fixes and performance updates. Chime Prime is coming.

Ever hear the theory that chapstick actually makes your lips more dry, making you use more chapstick in a never-ending, lip-moisturizing loop? These updates aren’t like that. They’re more like putting deodorant on each day just to stay fresh. But if you don’t put it on, you’re still ok, just won’t perform as good or something? Wait no. What I’m saying is, update your app for the latest performance updates. Not because you’re smelly. But if you are, that’s ok too. At least you’re not dry-lipped.

Everyone knows about Self-Care Sundays, but why stop there? You should try making self care an everyday thing. How about Fab Feet Fridays? A Lot of people neglect their feet—guys, I’m looking at you. Get a pedicure and thank me later. Or Sheet Washin’ Wednesdays? We all know the saying “clean sheets, clear minds, can’t lose.” And the most important—Tune-up Tuesdays: where you smash that Chime app update button. Because a smooth-running app is like self-care for your cash.

Some things just make sense. Like downloading this week’s app update, jam-packed with performance updates and routine bug bashes. Others, not so much. Like the Easter Bunny. Seriously, has anyone looked into this? Traditional characters like this normally have some sort of backstory (Santa, Leprechaun), but what does a bunny hiding eggs have to do with Easter? I’m not going to try and answer that within the space allowed here, but hopefully we’ve got the wheels turning. Think about it people!

We fixed some bugs, tuned things up, and made your app run a little smoother. Because like this week’s update notes, progress isn’t always flashy—but it should always feel good.

They’ve done it again. Our devs and engineers released yet another app update that improves performance and fixes bugs. They’re basically like a Formula 1 pit crew. But instead of tires, you get a freshly updated app. And instead of a racetrack, you get it right on your phone. And instead of a high-speed garage filled with the smell of gasoline, it’s a team of smart engineers working in an office building which may or may not contain free snacks. So, nothing at all like a pit crew. Better.

If you ever wonder which way the clock goes for daylight savings time,  just use “Spring forward” and “Fall back”. If you ever forget what hand is left and right, just hold them both up in front of you, palms facing down. Your left hand will make an “L” between the pointer finger and thumb. And if you ever want the most up to date bug fixes and performance updates, come here every week and hit that update button. Like right now.

Tax refund season is here. Filed? Waiting? Refreshing your account like it’s your job? We get it. While you track that refund, we’ve been busy behind the scenes with bug fixes and performance updates to keep things running smoothly for when that refund hits (and for everything else in the app, too). And if you haven’t filed yet, we’ve got you—Chime’s fee-free tax filing makes it easy to file and keep more of your money. So hit update and happy filing.

It’s 2026, so you probably think these app notes are written by AI. It would make sense right? But let’s face it, it would just be so much less…fun. The people who write these are indeed real humans from flesh and blood (personally, I’m writing this from bed with my dog snoozing next to me). How the bug fixes and performance updates work behind the scenes though? Not sure about that. We very well may use Allen Iverson for those. He’s really dunking on those bugs.

Another year, another “big game” has come and gone (legal won’t let us say it’s real name). Since this is being written before it happens, I’m not sure who won—but I’m pretty sure I know what happened: both teams played hard only to be out-shone by halftime. That’s kind of like these app updates. We’re putting in hard work that eliminates bugs and makes your app run faster, while our awesome features like SpotMe Boost and MyPay steal the shine. But unlike the players, we like it that way.
