- Strong organizational, analytical, interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills

Our take
Chime is part of the growing realm of fintech banks and providers, emphasizing straightforward, cost-effective banking solutions. It cuts the expenses tied to basic bank accounts and provides users with greater autonomy in managing their finances.
In contrast to many traditional banks that levy steep fees and hefty penalties for overdrafts while offering meager interest rates on savings, Chime addresses a crucial gap in the banking sector. Its primary focus is on catering to individuals with modest savings who seek the convenience of automated digital banking.
With a remarkable ascent in its trajectory, Chime's current valuation stands at $25.5B, a staggering $23.5B surge from its early 2019 valuation, underscoring its impressive and swift expansion. However, competition remains fierce, with other neobanks like Ally offering similar features and vying for the same customer base.
