We’re off to a strong start in 2026, exceeding the high end of our revenue guidance, delivering strong incremental margins, and achieving our first quarter of GAAP profitability as a public company. These results underscore the strength and resilience of our business model. We also reached 10.2 million Active Members, with more Americans opening bank accounts with Chime than any other financial institution1, putting us more than 50% ahead of our closest competitor. With the launch of Chime Prime, our new premium membership tier, we’re demonstrating accelerating product velocity powered by our ChimeCore technology stack. We’re well positioned to build on this momentum with more products to help our members unlock greater financial progress.”
