Chime Financial Achieves First GAAP Profit With Q1 Revenue of $647M and Raises Guidance Chime Financial reported Q1 2026 revenue of $647m and its first ever quarter of GAAP profitability.
Total revenue grew 25% year over year, supported by payments and platform-related revenue.
Management raised full-year guidance and authorized an additional $200m share repurchase program.
The move into GAAP profitability, paired with higher full-year guidance, indicates that the current business mix of payments and platform services is supporting both growth and cost control at the same time.
The extra $200m earmarked for buybacks introduces another lever for capital returns, but you should weigh that against execution risks around maintaining revenue growth and profitability in future quarters. Announcement • May 09

Chime Enterprise Adds New Employer Partners as Demand Grows for Comprehensive Financial Wellness Chime Enterprise announced growing employer adoption of Chime Workplace™?, a comprehensive financial wellness suite that delivers the full range of Chime's fee-free1 financial tools within a no-cost enterprise financial health solution. Features built into Chime Workplace include earned wage access (EWA)2, which allows employees to access their pay on demand, a high-yield savings account with an APY 7x the national average, and credit-building tools. Employers gain real-time, actionable insights into employee financial well-being through the employer portal. Cedarhurst Senior Living, eXp Realty, and LRS (Lakeshore Recycling Systems) are among the latest employers to implement Chime Workplace to support employee financial well-being and help reduce stress that can impact productivity, retention, and overall performance. Employers are increasingly linking employee financial wellness to workforce outcomes. According to Gallup's State of the Global Workplace 2025 report, employee engagement remains low at just 21%, costing the global economy an estimated $438 billion annually. This widespread disengagement signals a workforce under strain, weighing heavily on productivity and performance across industries. This widespread disengagement signals an important first step, but on its own is no longer enough. Employers are moving beyond short-term fixes to holistic platforms that reduce financial stress and support productivity at scale. Chime Workplace gives enterprises a practical, scalable foundation to strengthen workforce readiness without added complexity or cost. Today's announcement highlights employers across senior living, real estate, and waste and recycling adopting Chime Workplace to replace legacy earned wage access point solutions or implement more integrated financial wellness strategies that help drive workforce performance: Cedarhurst Senior Living, based in St. Louis, MO, adopted Chime Workplace as part of a broader workforce investment strategy designed to enhance financial wellness resources for frontline caregiving and operations teams, where consistency, attentiveness, and reliability are essential. eXp Realty, a cloud-based real estate brokerage headquartered in Bellingham, WA, selected Chime Workplace to support its employees with scalable, fee-free financial tools that align with its flexible operating model. LRS (LakesHore Recycling Systems), a waste and recycling services provider headquartered in Rosemont, IL that serves communities across the Midwest, adopted Chime Workplace to support employees financial health across its frontline and field-based operations, helping reduce financial stress that can impact workforce safety and performance. While these new customers span industries--from senior living and real estate to waste and recycling-- they share common workforce challenges. Employees from across varied sectors are facing rising living costs, persistent financial stress, and limited access to affordable financial tools, all of which can affect focus, and more.
