Payday, Explained

Just like you can’t control the bus schedule, you can’t control your pay schedule – which leaves you stuck on someone else’s clock, even though you’ve already worked hard for that money. But have you ever wondered… why do we get paid every two weeks? We teamed up with rapper Vince Staples and Chime to get to the bottom of this bi-weekly mystery, and why our outdated system isn’t keeping up with the needs of today’s workers.

The good news? MyPay™ from Chime can help. MyPay lets you get up to $500* of your pay before payday, giving you the freedom to jump on last-minute deals, handle unexpected expenses, and gain more control over your finances, without waiting on someone else’s schedule.

Join Vince as he embarks on a journey of epic proportions through the history of pay cycles, and discover how MyPay offers a new route to getting money when you need it.

Visit chime.com/mypay to find out how you can take control of your pay today.
