You will need the Chime Visa debit card and some cash for this kind of transaction. Most Chime loading locations will charge you a fee to load money on Chime card. However, not all Chime retail locations charge a fee for this kind of transaction.

Before I give you the six best places to put money into your Chime card, here is where I usually load my Chime card for free.

Where To Load Your Chime Card For Free

Chime only has two retail stores which will put money on Chime card instantly for free. Here are who loads Chime cards for free:

1. Walgreens

To reiterate, Walgreens does not charge to put money on a Chime card. I recommend going with a legal form of identification though, since this is a financial transaction. The transaction process has always been quick and stress free.

Finally, there is a $20 minimum deposit. What this means, is you cannot deposit any amount less than $20 in your Chime card. Having said that, here is what to know about the second place that does not charge to add money into your Chime card.

2. Duane Reade

Duane Reade store is another way of putting money on Chime card for free. The store locations are only located in the States of New York and New Jersey. Sometimes, you may find the store under the Walgreen brands. This is because it was bought by Walgreens.

Just like Walgreens, all you have to do is walk into the store and tell the cashier you would like to deposit cash into your Chime card. They will ask for your Chime Visa debit card and the cash amount you want to deposit into your account. Provide these and your cash deposit will instantly be made available to you.

On the whole, putting money on Chime card at these two locations are free. You will not be charged a penny for the above service rendered. As usual, I recommend you take a legal form of identification with you. This is just in case the cashier asks for it, since this is a monetary transaction involving a debit card and an online bank account.

The Maximum Load Limit For A Chime Card

Different stores may charge different convenience fees, but Chime has limits on its deposits. The maximum you can deposit on Chime is $1000 a day. If you remember earlier, I mentioned how some stores may have a $20 to $500 load limit ranges.

Do you know you can by pass these individual stores’ limit, my dear reader?

All you have to do is load the most amount in one location, then go to another location to load another amount. Chime only allows you to do it three times in a 24 hour period.
