Diversity, Equity, and Belonging at Chime

We work to build a community of diverse, talented, and mission-driven Chimers to deliver products and services that are transparent and fair.

Why Diversity, Equity, and Belonging matter at Chime

Chime has the unique opportunity to drive financial progress for millions of everyday people through our products and services. Yet, our success is dependent on our ability to build trust across multiple groups:

Members must trust Chime as a partner along their financial journey
Candidates must trust Chime as an affirming and thriving workplace
The public must trust Chime as an ethical and responsible company.

We believe the best way to build trust across all these groups is to embed diversity, equity, and belonging into everything we do at Chime.

About Diversity, Equity, & Belonging at Chime

Creating trustworthy products and experiences for our members requires a unique blend of empathy, talent, and creativity. Therefore, we use a set of principles to guide our approach to fostering DEB throughout the organization. We include diverse identities and perspectives in our decision-making, engage each other with compassion and empathy, create trust and safety for others to be authentic, structure our policies and processes to ensure fairness and access, and use these principles inside and out of Chime to achieve social impact.

At Chime, ERGs are CRGs

Our Chimer Resource Groups (CRGs) are for groups of Chimers with shared experiences or who would like to be allies to each other. Our CRGs are at the core of our DEB efforts, providing community, support, and education to every Chimer, reminding us that we’re all in this together. CRGs meet regularly, host events, and partner with community organizations to expand their impact beyond our team.

Jackie C. (she/her/hers), Chief of Staff

"It’s more common now for companies today to have ERGs, but I’ve never experienced a company like Chime where our CRGs are at the forefront of company culture. In many ways, the strongest community I’ve ever felt with my own heritage has been at Chime — I really look forward to any opportunity to engage with my fellow PacifiChimers!”

Chris M. (he/him/his), Senior Program Manager

"As a member of AfroChime, I feel I can show up as my true self and receive love, acceptance, and understanding from the group. The conversations we have are so meaningful and our events and gatherings — when we come together unapologetically and in fellowship — help us get to real conversations and connection.”

Amy S. (she/her/hers), Director, Recruiting

“For me, it’s important to show that you can work in tech, in fintech, or in any industry, and show up as yourself — I haven’t always been lucky enough to feel supported bringing my entire self to work. Chime is a supportive environment that encourages diversity of thought and perspective, which is refreshing.”

Margaret L. (she/her/hers), Director, Marketing

“Having representation of all that it is to be a woman is so important—there are many facets that make us unique. It’s not just about being an Asian leader or a female leader, but bringing my whole unique self to work, which represents something beautiful, special, and different."
