Typically, banks and financial institutions, including Chime, require that checks be made payable to the account holder. Depositing someone else's check into your Chime account might violate terms of service and could be considered fraud unless you have proper endorsement. If you've received a check intended for someone else, the safest and most straightforward way is for the check's payee to endorse the back of the check to you directly, but check with Chime's specific policies or customer service to avoid any issues.
