Netspend to Chime Transfer Limits

If you are transferring money to your Chime account, you should know about the transfer limits.

According to the official Chime statement, the ACH transfers to the Chime spending account are limited to $10,000 per calendar day and $25,000 per calendar month. There is no limit to the number of transactions per day, though.

How long does it take to transfer money from Chime to Netspend

As we have mentioned earlier in this post. The type of transfer that takes place between banks or involves banks even on one side is ACH transfers.

And unlike wire transfers, ACH transfers take more than one day to complete. So, it would take around 3 to 4 business days to transfer money from Chime to Netspend and vice-versa.

Moreover, ACH-based transfers do not get processed on a weekend or national holidays. So, if you initiated the money transfer on a weekend, it might take some extra days to reflect the funds in your account.

So, wait for at least 4 days for the amount to reflect in your account. If the payment still shows pending, there could be some issues. Check out our dedicated post and learn the ways to check pending deposits.
