Chime Virtual Card

The Chime virtual card lets eligible users make online and contactless purchases before or without using a physical card. It can also be added to supported digital wallets for tap-to-pay transactions where accepted. If you’re comparing virtual payment solutions, understanding how it works can help you decide whether you need a traditional bank-issued virtual card or a dedicated virtual card provider.

A Chime virtual card is a digital version of your Chime debit card that can be used for online purchases and, when added to a supported mobile wallet, for contactless in-store payments. It includes the same payment functionality without requiring the physical card.
