Chime has added in a new limit which puts a max of three times that the debit card load option can be used.
Some people were using the Chime debit card option for checking accounts that have a swipe requirement to keep it fee-free. Under the new rules, you can only use a debit card three times over the lifetime of the account, taking away that ability.
When I tried adding money via debit card a couple of weeks ago, I was stumped why it wasn’t going through. Probably it was due to this restriction.

Update: Reader JB was told by Chime that the limit is only for new cardmembers, and existing cardholders have no limits.
