It was designed to appeal to millennials. After August 10th, it becomes just another part of Chase Mobile.
Hungry to get in on millennial-led digital banking, Chase introduced Finn by Chase in late 2017 as a way for a “different set of customers” to turn their phones into a mobile bank. It didn’t pan out to be much different from the bank’s Chase Mobile app, however.
What are the benefits of Finn by Chase?
Finn is designed to allow customers to apply for, fund and manage your account from your phone:
- No monthly fees. Bank with no service fee — and without entering a Chase branch.
- Free ATM access. Use your Visa debit card at more than 29,000 ATMs nationwide.
- Money management tools. Create savings rules, set up automatic transfers, track spending and rate purchases.
- Checking and savings. Save a nest egg and pay your bills from one convenient account.
What should I look out for?
As with many digital accounts and apps, Finn comes with potential drawbacks beyond its liberal use of emojis:
- No branches. You can’t visit a Chase branch for deposits, disputes or help for your Finn account.
- No overdraft protection. Finn declines any transaction that takes your account balance to $0.
- Low interest rate. Your Finn savings account pays an average APY of 0.04% only.
Chase ATM network and fees
Finn by Chase comes with a Visa debit card for shopping worldwide and banking at more than 29,000 fee-free ATMs across the country.
- Out-of-network ATM fees depend on where you’re using your card:
- Domestic ATM fee. $2.50 + fees from ATM owner
- Foreign ATM fee. 3% of each transaction
