Chime was founded in 2011 by Chris Britt and Ryan King. In December 2023 Business Insider included Chime as a company anticipating a 2024 IPO, stating “The digital bank denied it had immediate plans for a public debut but may have been simply waiting out the frozen market.”
Chime is a no-fee mobile banking platform that enables each software user’s financial health. Per Forge data, Chime has raised a total of $2.3 billion in over 11 rounds. Their latest funding was raised on Jul 28, 2023. Key investors include DST Global, Sequoia Capital Global Equities, Aspect Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Crosslink Capital, and Cathay Innovation.
These comments should not be interpreted to mean that the company is formally pursuing or foregoing an IPO.
