The agreement allows Chime to offer clients products that are fully regulated and come with the same consumer safeguards as those offered to customers of traditional banks, such as FDIC insurance.

Stride Bank president of payments Jimmy Stallings said: “Consumers should not have to choose between innovation and consumer protection. We are proud to partner with Chime as they continue to create easy-to-use banking products that are loved by millions of Americans.

“Banking customers waited a long time for a company like Chime to come in and disrupt a fee-happy industry. Stride looks forward to continuing to serve the needs of Chime members while also working together to bring the next generation of financial solutions to life.”

Chime was created in 2012 by former Visa executive Chris Britt and Comcast Corp veteran Ryan King.
