The Chime Mafia - getPIN.xyz

Chime launched in 2012 to fix what traditional banks were getting wrong: charging people just to access their own money.

Founded by Chris Britt and Ryan King in San Francisco, Chime built a no-fee, mobile-first platform that puts users in control. The goal? Make banking feel like a service, not a punishment.

In a sector defined by fees and friction, Chime flipped the model, drew millions of users, and set off a wave of fintech challengers. Its impact goes beyond convenience. It’s forcing the industry to rethink how people interact with money.

Chime has also become a launchpad for fintech founders. Its culture of speed, ownership, and product focus has sparked a generation of startups led by former Chimers. From engineers to execs, they’re building fast and in public, using the same playbook that powered Chime’s rise. The talent isn’t just leaving. It’s multiplying.

‍

Chime’s co-founders, Chris Britt and Ryan King, turned frustration with big banks into one of fintech’s biggest plays.

‍

The Chime Mafia has founded 11 companies and raised $67.7M
