Chime is a popular bank among millennials, and it doesn't even have a physical location. Chime is a bank account and debit card for the digital age and the digital-first consumer and saver.
Chris Britt is the CEO and Co-founder of Chime. Britt joins Cheddar to explain how the digital bank is growing. In the Fall of 2017, Chime closed a Series B round to the tune of $18 million. Chime has been using those funds to grow their reach and market.
Britt expects that Chime will reach 1 million bank accounts this quarter. For now, Chime has no plans to build any physical locations at this point.

Around 14% went to smaller stores that are more accessible to SNAP beneficiaries.
