- The first step to using cash to pay your rent is to sign up for a Chime account
- Once enrolled, you can deposit cash into your Chime account at over 75,000 retail locations. Simply ask the cashier to make a deposit directly to your Chime account.

*Once the retailer accepts your cash, the funds will be transferred to your selected Chime account. Barcode and debit card cash deposits land in the Checking Account. Credit Builder card cash deposits first go through your Card Account and then land in your Secured Account. Cash deposit fees may apply if using a retailer other than Walgreens and Duane Reade.
**If you choose to deposit cash using a Chime card, you must swipe your Credit Builder Card or Debit Card to deposit cash into your Chime Account. Our cash deposit partners will not accept the chip or the manual entry of your card number. If the magnetic strip of your card is damaged, you will not be able to make a cash deposit and will need to replace your card. You can request a new card in your Chime app or at www.chime.com.
