Title: Co-Founder and CEO Company: Chime

Chime, Chris’ fee-free banking start-up, didn’ t initially show growth, taking five years to reach a million customer accounts. But just one year later, the customer base quadrupled owing to Chris’ sensitivity. Chris connected with Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck eliminating overdraft fees, creating Get Paid Early and SpotMe, giving users access to their paycheck two days early. Directing unique social media campaigns and product strategies, Chris positions himself as a consumer champion rather than a stuffy, traditional bank. fintechmagazine. com 59
