Where to Find Your Chase Bank Routing Number
Your Chase routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies your specific Chase branch
The routing number tells other banks and payment systems which Chase location holds your account. You need it to set up direct deposit, arrange wire transfers, pay bills through your bank's bill pay system, or receive ACH payments from employers or government agencies. Chase has multiple routing numbers — one for each region — so the number you need depends on the state where you opened your account, not where you live now.
The fastest way to find it is to look at the bottom left corner of any check you have from that account. The first nine digits printed there are your routing number. If you do not have a check, you can find it through your Chase online banking account, by calling Chase customer service, or by using Chase's routing number lookup tool on their website.
Key Takeaways
- Your routing number appears on the bottom left of any Chase check as the first nine-digit sequence.
- Chase routing numbers vary by state and region, so you need the number for the state where you opened your account.
- You can look up your routing number through your Chase online account, by phone, or through Chase's official routing number search tool.
- The routing number is different from your account number, which appears to the right of the routing number on your check.
Finding your routing number on a Chase check
If you have a checkbook from your Chase account, the routing number is printed at the bottom of every check in a specific order. On the left side of the bottom edge, you will see three separate nine-digit sequences. The first one is your routing number. The second is your account number. The third is your check number.
The routing number uses a special magnetic ink that allows sorting machines to read it automatically. You can also find the same routing number printed in regular ink in the lower right corner of the check, though it is less obvious. If your checks are very old or faded, the numbers may be hard to read — in that case, use one of the other methods below.
Looking it up through your Chase online account
Log into your Chase account through the Chase website or mobile app. Once you are signed in, navigate to the account details or account information section. This is usually found under a menu labeled "Account" or "Settings." Select the specific account you need the routing number for if you have multiple Chase accounts.
Chase displays your routing number alongside your account number in the account details view. Some versions of the Chase app show this information on the account summary page without requiring you to click into a separate section. If you cannot locate it, the mobile app often has a dedicated "Account Details" or "Routing Number" option in the menu.
Calling Chase customer service for your routing number
You can reach Chase customer service by calling the number on the back of your Chase debit card or by dialing 1-800-935-9935. Have your account number ready, though the representative may ask you security questions to verify your identity before providing the routing number.
Wait times vary depending on the time of day and day of the week. Calling during early morning hours on a weekday typically results in shorter hold times. The representative will confirm which state your account is registered in and provide the correct routing number for that location.
Using Chase's routing number lookup tool
Chase maintains a routing number search tool on their official website. Go to chase.com and search for "routing number" or navigate to their customer service section. The tool asks you to enter the state where you opened your account and the type of account you have (checking or savings).
The search returns the correct routing number for that state and account type. This method works even if you do not have online banking set up or do not have a check available. The tool is free and does not require you to log in.
Understanding the difference between routing and account numbers
Your routing number identifies the bank branch, while your account number identifies your specific account within that branch. Both appear on your check, but they serve different purposes. When you set up direct deposit, you typically provide both numbers. When you send a wire transfer, you provide the routing number along with the recipient's account number at their bank.
Confusing the two will cause a transaction to fail or be delayed. If someone asks for your "bank details," they usually want both numbers. Your routing number is not secret — it is printed on every check and is the same for everyone with a Chase account in your state. Your account number is more sensitive and should be shared only with people or organizations you trust.

This table covers the most common Chase routing numbers by state. If your state is not listed or you opened your account in a state different from where you currently live, use one of the lookup methods above to confirm the correct number. Chase occasionally updates routing numbers, so checking through their official website or customer service is the most reliable approach if you have not verified your number recently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a different routing number for checking versus savings?
Most Chase customers use the same routing number for both checking and savings accounts. However, some older accounts or accounts opened at specific Chase locations may have different routing numbers. The safest approach is to verify the routing number for the specific account you are using, which you can do through your online account or by calling Chase.
What if I moved to a different state after opening my Chase account?
Your routing number does not change when you move. It remains tied to the state where you originally opened the account. If you opened your account in California but now live in Texas, you still use the California routing number for that account. This is why it is important to know which state your account was opened in.
Can I use someone else's Chase routing number if we bank at the same Chase branch?
No. While you and a friend may share the same routing number if you both opened accounts at Chase locations in the same state, you must always use the routing number for your own account when setting up direct deposit or receiving transfers. Using the wrong routing number will send money to the wrong account.
Is my routing number the same as my bank code or SWIFT code?
No. Your routing number is used for domestic transfers within the United States. A SWIFT code is used for international wire transfers. Chase has different SWIFT codes depending on which branch handles your account. If you are receiving money from outside the United States, ask the sender for Chase's SWIFT code rather than providing your routing number.
What should I do if I cannot find my routing number through any of these methods?
Call Chase customer service at 1-800-935-9935 with your account number and identification ready. A representative can provide your routing number when ready and can also confirm whether your account is set up correctly for direct deposit or wire transfers.
