ChargeBank turns charging time into a playful “My Balance” moment. Plug in your phone — a fun balance starts climbing. Unplug, and it pauses. It’s entertainment, not a wallet, bank, or investment product. No real money moves. WHAT YOU GET • My Balance — a clean, familiar balance screen that grows while you charge • Live Activity — see earning pace on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Charge Vault — daily 1.01% compound on your balance (simulated, for fun) • Earn Pace — pick Slow Charge for free, or unlock faster Pro paces • Transactions — top up, withdraw, and browse a dated ledger with a heatmap EARN PACE (PRO) Faster paces are entertainment multipliers — not real earnings and not anyone’s official income. Pro unlocks City Hustle through Legend Rate. IMPORTANT ChargeBank is for entertainment only. Numbers are simulated. Nothing here is real currency, banking, investing, or payment services. Privacy-friendly by design: charging detection stays on your device.
