Chime Financial $CHYM ( ▲ 0.19% ) has emerged as one of the most interesting fintech stories in recent years. After debuting publicly at a valuation of over $10 billion, the stock initially surged to $43 before giving up most of its gains.

While the market has risen more than 10% since Chime’s IPO, the fintech has fallen out of favor, losing over 40% of its value over the same period. The stock is currently trading at all-time lows, below its IPO price of $27. However, despite the pessimism, the long-term thesis remains intact — and, arguably, stronger than ever. Let’s see why.

A Fintech Platform Built Like Software — Not a Bank

Chime’s model is elegantly simple: it provides users with a fee-free checking account, a Visa $V ( ▲ 0.57% ) debit card, and access to earned wages up to two days early. Members can overdraft modestly through SpotMe, automatically save through micro-deposits, and build credit safely through the Credit Builder card — all without paying interest or hidden fees.

Unlike banks that profit from lending spreads, Chime earns by sharing interchange fees paid by merchants on every debit swipe. This allows Chime to offer zero-cost services while still earning meaningful revenue. Without physical branches and with heavy automation through its own software ledger “ChimeCore,” the company keeps costs low and maintains exceptional gross margins of around 88%.

In short, Chime monetizes engagement rather than credit — making it a software-like payments business disguised as a bank.
