| Chime and Current made select clients' stimulus payments available to them early. |

Current had credited accounts for tens of millions of dollars in payments by December 30. Meanwhile, a Chime spokeswoman said that by early December 31, the neobank had made $700 million in stimulus payments available to more than 700,000 of its customers.
