Here is exactly how to sign up and start building credit.<\/p>\n<h2>What You Need Before Applying<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your ITIN number<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Valid photo ID<\/strong> (passport or state ID)<\/li>\n<li><strong>US mailing address<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Email address<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Phone number<\/strong> (US number)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step-by-Step Process<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Open a Chime Checking Account<\/h3>\n<p>You must have a Chime checking account first. The Credit Builder card is an add-on feature. Download the Chime app or go to Chime.com and sign up for a free checking account using your ITIN.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Receive Your Chime Debit Card<\/h3>\n<p>Your Chime Visa debit card arrives in 7-10 days. Activate it and add at least $200 to your account via direct deposit, transfer, or mobile deposit.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Activate Credit Builder<\/h3>\n<p>Once your checking account is active and funded, open the Chime app. Go to <strong>Move Money \u2192 Credit Builder<\/strong>. Tap &#8220;Activate&#8221; and your Credit Builder card will be mailed to you.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Move Money to Credit Builder<\/h3>\n<p>Transfer funds from your Chime checking to your Credit Builder balance. This balance is what you can spend. There is no traditional deposit \u2014 you spend your own money.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Use and Build Credit<\/h3>\n<p>Spend from your Credit Builder card. At the end of each month, Chime automatically pays your balance and reports the on-time payment to all 3 bureaus.<\/p>\n<h2>How Chime Credit Builder Works<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th>Feature<\/th>\n<th>Details<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Annual Fee<\/td>\n<td>$0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Monthly Fee<\/td>\n<td>$0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Interest<\/td>\n<td>$0 (you spend your own money)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Deposit Required<\/td>\n<td>No traditional deposit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Credit Check<\/td>\n<td>None<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reports To<\/td>\n<td>Experian, Equifax, TransUnion<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ITIN Accepted<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Why Chime Is Different<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike traditional secured cards where your deposit is locked, with Chime you move YOUR money to the Credit Builder, spend it, and Chime reports it as an on-time payment.
