Chime IPO

Chime was founded in 2013 by Chris Britt and Ryan King. In January 2022, Reuters reported that the company approached Goldman Sachs for help with IPO preparations. The deal could value the company at as much as $40 billion. A spokesperson for Chime, however, told reporters that "we have not made any decisions on underwriters and have no immediate plans for an IPO."

Chime operates a fully mobile platform for banking services, providing many of the services of traditional banks without branches or physical locations. Chime has raised more than $2 billion in Venture Capital funding from investors including Access Technology Ventures, Coatue Management, Dragoneer Investment Group, DST Global, General Atlantic, ICONIQ Capital, Menlo Ventures, Access Technology Ventures, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, Crosslink Capital, and Forerunner Ventures. A $750 million funding round in August 2021 increased the company's valuation to $25 billion.

These comments should not be interpreted to mean that the company is formally pursuing or foregoing an IPO.
