The Chime "Pay Anyone” (lol) receive flow is completely broken. So this weekend I sold a coffee grinder to a Chime employee, he had some nice incentives to dog-food their own Pay Anyone product, I was curious too, so I agreed to trying it over Venmo.
Supposedly Chime users can pay anyone, when the recipient isn't a Chime user, there is a flow to receive money directly to a debit card without signup. But that flow is completely broken, it kept erroring out with a generic “something went wrong” error. I tried several debit cards and none of them worked. I ended up going through the signup flow, which actually opened a Chime checking account for me lol (it wasn't clear it would do that). But at least I was able to accept the money.
@ayn I guess #Chime isn't available outside of the #USA for that reason and the fact that like #CashApp and #Venmo it reduses to comply with #KYC and/or #AML laws...
@kkarhan idk, pretty happy with the rest of mobile payment options i have here (apple cash, venmo, meta pay, cashapp, paypal, zelle, and wise as a last resort).
