Chime Enterprise, the enterprise division of leading financial technology company Chime^®(NASDAQ: CHYM), announced growing employer adoption of Chime Workplace™, a comprehensive financial wellness suite that delivers the full range of Chime's fee-free financial tools within a no-cost enterprise financial health solution. Features built into Chime Workplace include earned wage access (EWA), which allows employees to access their pay on demand, a high-yield savings account with an APY 7x the national average, and credit-building tools. Employers gain real-time, actionable insights into employee financial well-being through the employer portal.

Cedarhurst Senior Living, eXp Realty, and LRS (Lakeshore Recycling Systems) are among the latest employers to implement Chime Workplace to support employee financial well-being and help reduce stress that can impact productivity, retention, and overall performance.

Employers are increasingly linking employee financial wellness to workforce outcomes. According to Gallup's State of the Global Workplace 2025 report, employee engagement remains low at just 21%, costing the global economy an estimated $438 billion annually. This widespread disengagement signals a workforce under strain, weighing heavily on productivity and performance across industries.

"As organizations look to optimize their workforce and do more with existing resources, employee financial wellness is becoming a business imperative," said Jason Lee, Chief of Chime Enterprise. "Earned wage access is an important first step, but on its own is no longer enough. Employers are moving beyond short-term fixes to holistic platforms that reduce financial stress and support productivity at scale. Chime Workplace gives enterprises a practical, scalable foundation to strengthen workforce readiness without added complexity or cost."

Today's announcement highlights employers across senior living, real estate, and waste and recycling adopting Chime Workplace to replace legacy earned wage access point solutions or implement more integrated financial wellness strategies that help drive workforce performance:

• Cedarhurst Senior Living, based in St. Louis, MO, adopted Chime Workplace as part of a broader workforce investment strategy designed to enhance financial wellness resources for frontline caregiving and operations teams, where consistency, attentiveness, and reliability are essential.
  
  
• eXp Realty, a cloud-based real estate brokerage headquartered in Bellingham, WA, selected Chime Workplace to support its employees with scalable, fee-free financial tools that align with its flexible operating model.
  
  
• LRS (Lakeshore Recycling Systems), a waste and recycling services provider headquartered in Rosemont, IL that serves communities across the Midwest, adopted Chime Workplace to support employee financial health across its frontline and field-based operations, helping reduce financial stress that can impact workforce safety and performance.
