Why is my Chime Direct Deposit Late
There can be multiple reasons why your Chime direct deposit is late, such as your employer hasn’t sent it, it’s a weekend or a holiday, there is a technical issue with Chime servers, or you are just getting impatient.
1. Your employer hasn’t sent it
The first and most obvious reason your Chime Direct Deposit is late is that your employer or benefit provide hasn’t deposited your paycheck or delayed it.
2. It is Weekend or National Holiday
Chime is backed up by the Bancorp Bank or Central National Bank. And most of the banks do not work on weekends and National holidays. Chime also observes all national holidays and does not deposit on weekends.
So, if your deposit was going to arrive on Friday, but it didn’t arrived, then it will probably be deposited on Monday or whenever the next business day is.
Also, if it’s a national holiday, your deposit will get delayed to the next working day. Below are all the National holidays of 2021 that Chime observes.

3. There is a technical issue
If your Employer has deposited your paycheck on time, and it is not a holiday or a weekend, then it might be a technical issue from the Chime’s side or with the bank with whom Chime works.
As per Chime, it doesn’t hold the payment and deposit them to the accounts as soon as they arrive at Chime.
Well, your Chime direct deposit might be pending, you can easily check pending direct deposits in the Chime app and website.
How Long Does Chime Direct Deposit Take?
Chime does not hold any payments and deposit them all instantly as soon they are received at the Chime system. However, when your employer direct deposits your paycheck, it can take 2-3 days before it reaches Chime from the employer’s bank.
So, your paycheck should arrive within 2-3 days after your benefit provider has submitted your paycheck to the bank.
