USDC to Chime: cash out to US dollars
How to send USDC from your wallet to your Chime account in US dollars via RTP / ACH: where to find your routing + account number, steps, limits and FAQs.
In the US, USDC is already dollars on-chain, so cashing out is about moving it to a bank account with a routing and account number. Sacamos's partner pays out over RTP when your bank participates — funds typically arrive in minutes, even on weekends — and otherwise over ACH, which settles on business days. You stay in self-custody until the moment you send.

Where to find your routing + account number — Chime
Chime shows your account and routing numbers in the app, usually in the section for your checking (spending) account or under direct deposit settings.
What to know about Chime
- Chime is a financial technology company, not a bank; its accounts are provided by FDIC-insured partner banks, which is why the routing number belongs to a partner bank rather than to Chime.
- Use the routing number displayed in your own Chime app, since it depends on which partner bank holds your account.
- Chime accounts are built around direct deposit, so ACH payouts from a payout provider are a normal use case; the name on the deposit should match your Chime account.

How it compares
Every option below works. They differ in who holds your funds, how many steps it takes and how pricing is shown. This is a qualitative comparison — fees and speeds change, so check each provider's current terms.
| Option | Custody | Steps | Speed | Pricing | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sacamos (non-custodial off-ramp) | You keep USDC in your wallet until you send it to a one-time partner deposit address | Verify once, add bank, get quote, send from wallet | Depends on the local rail; instant rails usually minutes | Rate and fees shown upfront in the quote | Getting paid in USDC and cashing out straight from your own wallet | Supports USDC on Solana and Base only; identity verification required |
| Centralized exchange (deposit, sell, withdraw) | The exchange holds your funds while you trade and withdraw | Deposit, place a sell order, then request a fiat withdrawal | Varies by exchange and withdrawal method | Trading spread/fees plus withdrawal fees; can be cost-effective for large amounts | Active traders who already keep a balance on an exchange | Extra steps, custody risk, and sending to the exchange on a network it supports |
| P2P marketplace (e.g. Binance P2P) | Platform escrow holds the crypto during the trade | Deposit to the platform, pick a buyer, wait for their bank transfer, release | Depends on the counterparty | Set by each buyer; can be competitive | Flexible payment methods and markets with few other options | Counterparty and scam risk (fake receipts, reversed or third-party payments) |
| Sell widgets (MoonPay, Transak) | You send crypto to the provider when you sell | Often built into wallets; verify, sell, receive to bank or card | Varies by country and payout method | Provider fees and spread, shown before confirming | Convenience inside a wallet you already use | Supported countries, tokens and payout rails vary |
Taxes (general information)
General information, not tax advice: the IRS treats digital assets as property. If you are paid in USDC for work, that is generally ordinary income at its fair market value when received; later disposals can produce (usually small, for a stablecoin) gains or losses. Brokers began issuing Form 1099-DA for 2025 transactions. Talk to a tax professional.
