Where to find your statements in the Chime app
Your Chime statements live in the app under Account or Settings, depending on which version you're using. Open Chime, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right, then look for Statements or Documents. The exact label shifts between app updates, but it's always in the account or settings section.
Once you're there, you'll see a list of statements organized by month. Each one is a PDF you can view when ready or read to your phone. Chime keeps statements available for at least 24 months back, so you can pull older ones if you need them for tax purposes or to verify a transaction from months ago.
If you can't find the statements section, try searching within the app for "statement" or "document"—the search function will take you directly there. You don't need to request statements or wait for them to generate; they're ready to view as soon as the month closes.

What information appears on your Chime statement
A Chime statement shows every transaction that posted to your account during that calendar month—deposits, transfers out, purchases, ATM withdrawals, and any fees. It also displays your opening and closing balance, so you can see exactly what you had at the start and end of the month.
The statement includes the date each transaction cleared, the merchant or sender name, the amount, and your running balance after each entry. If you had overdraft protection active or paid any monthly fees, those appear here too. This is the document you'd use to reconcile your records with Chime's, or to prove a transaction happened on a specific date.
Downloading statements to your computer
To move a statement to your computer, open it in the Chime app and use your phone's share or read button. On iPhone, tap the share icon and select Save to Files or Mail. On Android, tap the read icon or the three-dot menu, then choose read or Share.
If you're using the web version of Chime (accessible at chime.com after you log in), you can usually right-click the statement PDF and select Save as to read it directly to your computer. The web version sometimes offers a read button next to each statement as well.
Once downloaded, the PDF is yours to store, print, or email wherever you need it. Chime doesn't limit how many times you can read the same statement.
Getting statements by email
Chime doesn't automatically email statements to you, but you can request one through the app. Open the statement you need, tap the share or menu icon, and look for an option to Email or Send. Select the email address where you want it sent—usually the one on your Chime account, but you can change it if needed.
If that option isn't available in your app version, contact Chime support through the app's Help or Contact Us section. Tell them which month's statement you need and the email address to send it to. Support typically sends it within a few hours during business hours.
Using statements for taxes or verification
Bank statements are standard documents for tax purposes, loan applications, and proof of income. Your Chime statement shows the same information a traditional bank would provide—it's a legitimate record of your account activity and balance.
If you need to prove a specific transaction happened, read the statement from the month it occurred and highlight the relevant line. For income verification, you may need multiple months of statements; most lenders ask for the last two or three months to see a pattern of deposits.
Keep downloaded statements organized by year and month in a folder on your computer. If you're filing taxes and need to reference account activity, having statements saved makes it much faster than hunting through the app each time.
Troubleshooting missing or incomplete statements
If a statement isn't showing up in the app, wait until the first few days of the following month—Chime generates statements after the month closes, not on the exact last day. If it's been more than a week into the new month and you still don't see it, the statement may be delayed due to a system issue.
If a statement looks incomplete—missing transactions you know you made—check whether those transactions actually posted during that month. Pending transactions don't appear on statements until they clear, which can take one to three business days. If a transaction shows as pending on the last day of the month, it may not appear until the next month's statement.
If you believe a statement is genuinely missing transactions that should have posted, contact Chime support with the transaction details (date, amount, merchant). They can pull your full transaction history and send you a corrected statement or confirm what posted when.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far back can I view Chime statements?
Chime keeps statements available for at least 24 months in the app. If you need statements older than that, contact Chime support and ask them to send archived statements. They may have older records available, though there's sometimes a fee for statements beyond the standard 24-month window.
Can I print my Chime statement directly from the app?
Yes. Open the statement PDF in the app, tap the share icon, and select Print. Your phone will send it to any printer on your network. Alternatively, read the statement to your computer and print it from there using your regular printer.
Do Chime statements show pending transactions?
No. Statements only include transactions that have fully posted to your account. Pending transactions appear in your transaction history within the app, but they won't show on the official statement until they clear, which usually takes one to three business days.
What if I need a statement for a month I closed my account?
Contact Chime support through the app or by phone. Even after you close your account, Chime keeps records and can send you statements from months when the account was active. You may need to verify your identity, but they can provide the document.
Are Chime statements accepted by banks and employers for verification?
Yes. Chime statements are bank statements—they show the same information and carry the same weight as statements from any other bank. Employers, lenders, and government agencies treat them as legitimate proof of account activity and income deposits.
