Are you having issues in adding payment methods in Sezzle?

Are you wondering if Sezzle accepts Chime?

Well, here, you will find answers to all of your questions. In this post, we will discuss if Chime can be used as a payment method in Sezzle, along with other important details.

Does Sezzle take Chime

No, Sezzle doesn’t take Chime. You cannot use your Chime bank account as a payment method for Sezzle for either new orders or installments. It is because Sezzle doesn’t work with Bancorp Bank or Stride Bank, which provides banking services to Chime.

Sezzle is a popular buy now, pay later platform that lets the user borrow some amount of money to buy the goods they want. This is an excellent service for the users who need an instant flow of money to buy essential goods without paying extra for the interest.

To pay back the borrowed amount, Sezzle lets the user pay the amount in installments over 6 months. But, before financing a purchase, the users are required to pay at least 25% of the borrowed amount. It can be considered the down payment, and the installments are later decided.

A lot of users are not aware of this fact. But, there are different terms for the first installments on new orders and the scheduled installments.

According to Sezzle, users cannot use their bank account as the default payment method for the first installments on the new purchase orders. The bank account can only be used as a payment method for scheduled installments only if you have added a debit or credit card on your Sezzle app as a payment method for the first installment.

Chime alternatives supported by Sezzle

So, ladies and gents, now you know that you cannot use Chime as your payment method with Sezzle. And if you want to use Sezzle to finance your purchase, you will have to select a different payment method.

We have mentioned in the previous section that no bank account is considered as payment for the first installment of the purchase. You can use it to pay second, third, and fourth installments, though.

There are a lot of alternatives you can select as a payment method for the Sezzle app. Here, we won’t be able to include all the names of supporting banks as the list is quite long. We would rather include the list of the banks that are NOT recognized by Sezzle as payment methods.

The list includes all the banks and credit unions whose bank accounts cannot be used with Sezzle.

  • Chime (The Bancorp Bank)
  • Green Dot Bank-DBA Bonneville Bank
  • Sutton Bank
  • Stride Bank-National Association
  • Alabama One Credit Union
  • Metabank
  • Cabela’s Credit Union
  • PenFed Credit Union
  • Redstone Federal Credit Union
  • CNB Bank
  • Varo Bank

Other than a bank account, you can also select your debit cards, prepaid cards, and prepaid cards. And yet again, not all types of cards are supported by Sezzle as a payment method. So, find the list of companies that are not supported by Sezzle below.

List of credit cards that are NOT supported by Sezzle as payment method.

List of debit cards that are NOT supported by Sezzle as payment method.

Now you know the type of credit and debit cards are not supported by Sezzle and cannot be used as a payment method for placing a new order to pay the installments.

Sezzle also supports one more type of card – Prepaid card. But, the user must know that a prepaid card can only be used to pay the installments. But, you cannot set it as a payment method when placing an order. And while you add your prepaid card as a payment method for your installment, you will be asked to link a supporting credit/debit card for new purchase orders.

Well, talking about the type of prepaid card that is eligible to be used as a payment method, you can check if ‘Network Only’ is found written on your prepaid card. If you see it, bingo, it can be used with Sezzle.
