Re: [PLUG] Chime

Sorry.  I don't understand.  What do you mean by "private" email address?  What type of email address would they allow?

Also, I don't see what Chime actually does, or what makes them unique and desirable..  They're not a bank.  They tout direct deposit, something that;'s been done for 35 years.  They tout zero fees, but Wells Fargo pays me and has a very nice banking app also.  What am I missing?

Recently purchased a private email address to increase my security, and just found out chime.com does not allow "private" email addresses. I went with protonmail - used the free one for a while now when I wanted more privacy than my gmail account.

I understand that "free" things on the internet translates to "you" are the product... but somehow this one blindsided me.

Thought it would make for a good discussion.
