Chris Britt

Chris Britt cofounded San Francisco startup Chime in 2013 as a mobile banking app and debit card with no monthly fees.

In September 2020, Chime raised $485 million in funding at a $14.5 billion valuation, nearly tripling its value in six months.

During the pandemic, one of Chime's most popular features was a stimulus advance--it let users borrow $1,200 before the government checks arrived.

It took Chime five years to reach one million customer accounts. One year later, in 2019, it had four million.

Prior to starting Chime, Britt worked at Visa and prepaid card company Green Dot.
