Chime has partnered with Allied Universal to provide its financial wellness platform, Chime Workplace, to approximately 320,000 employees across North America, expanding access to earned wage access, savings, investing, and credit-building tools.
Through the partnership, Allied Universal employees will be able to access Chime’s financial products at no cost, including fee-free earned wage access (EWA), high-yield savings accounts offering up to 3.75% APY, investing features, and tools designed to help build credit.
The rollout also gives Allied Universal access to the Chime Workplace employer portal, which provides aggregated insights into how employees engage with financial wellness benefits, including saving habits, credit-building activity, and adoption of on-demand pay.
The agreement marks another step in Chime’s expansion into employer-sponsored financial services. The company has been growing its Workplace platform across multiple industries, including healthcare, transportation, and professional services, as employers increasingly look for benefits that improve employees’ financial wellbeing without adding complexity or additional costs.
Chime also highlighted early results from its deployment with First Student, where nearly half of enrolled employees began saving within the first two months after launch. According to the company, most of those employees continued building their savings over time, demonstrating increasing engagement with the platform’s financial tools.
Demand for employer-sponsored financial wellness solutions has continued to grow as organisations seek benefits that extend beyond traditional payroll services. Products such as earned wage access, automated savings, investing, and credit-building tools are becoming an increasingly common part of employee benefit programmes, particularly for large workforces.
The partnership strengthens Chime’s position in the workplace fintech market as employers place greater emphasis on helping employees improve their long-term financial health through integrated digital financial services.
