How To Find Your Chase Bank SWIFT Code

Where to find your Chase SWIFT code

Chase's SWIFT code is CHASUS33 for most domestic wire transfers within the United States. This code appears on Chase's official website and in their wire transfer documentation. If you are sending money internationally or to a specific Chase branch outside the US, the code may differ slightly — some international transfers use CHASUS33XXX with the extra characters, though both versions typically work.

You can confirm the correct code by logging into your Chase online banking account, calling Chase customer service at 1-800-935-9935, or visiting a Chase branch in person. The code is also printed on wire transfer instruction sheets that Chase provides when you request an outgoing wire.

Do not rely on a SWIFT code you find on an unofficial website or in an email. Scammers sometimes post fake codes to redirect wire transfers. Always pull the code directly from Chase's official channels or ask a Chase representative to confirm it before you send money.

Key Takeaways

• Chase's standard SWIFT code for US transfers is CHASUS33, and you should verify this code through Chase's official website or by calling their customer service line.
• International transfers may require CHASUS33XXX or a code specific to the receiving country, so confirm with Chase which version applies to your transfer.
• Never copy a SWIFT code from an email, text message, or unofficial website — always get it directly from Chase or a Chase representative.
• Your Chase online banking account, a phone call to Chase, or a visit to a branch will all provide the correct code for your specific transfer type.

When you need a SWIFT code

You need a SWIFT code when you are sending an international wire transfer or when someone outside the United States is sending money to your Chase account. The code tells the receiving bank's system which financial institution should receive the funds. Domestic US wire transfers between American banks do not require a SWIFT code — they use a different routing number instead.

If you are receiving money from abroad, give the sender Chase's SWIFT code along with your account number and the full name on your account. If you are sending money out of the country, your Chase banker will ask for the recipient's SWIFT code, account number, and bank name.

How SWIFT codes work in a wire transfer

A SWIFT code is an 8 or 11-character identifier that routes money between banks across international networks. The code breaks down into parts: the first four letters identify the bank (CHAS for Chase), the next two letters are the country code (US for United States), the following two letters identify the location or branch (US again in most cases), and the last three characters (if included) specify a particular branch or department.

When you send an international wire, the sending bank uses your SWIFT code to find Chase in the global banking system and deliver the money to the right account. Without it, the transfer cannot be completed. The SWIFT network is run by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, a cooperative owned by banks worldwide.

Difference between SWIFT codes and routing numbers

A routing number is a nine-digit code used only for transfers within the United States. A SWIFT code is an international identifier used for transfers crossing country borders. You cannot use a routing number for an international wire, and a SWIFT code alone is not enough for a domestic US transfer.

If you are wiring money to another US bank account, ask for the recipient's routing number and account number. If you are wiring to a bank outside the US, ask for the recipient's SWIFT code, account number, and bank name. Chase can provide both your routing number and SWIFT code if you ask.

What to do if the transfer is rejected

If your wire transfer fails or bounces back, the most common reasons are a wrong SWIFT code, an incorrect account number, or a mismatch between the account number and the account holder's name. Check all three pieces of information against what the recipient gave you, letter by letter and number by number.

Contact Chase when ready if the transfer was rejected. Chase can often resend the wire to the correct destination at no extra charge if the error was on their end. If you provided the wrong information, Chase may charge a fee to recall or redirect the transfer, depending on how far the money has traveled through the banking system. The sooner you report the problem, the better your chances of recovering the funds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CHASUS33 the same for all Chase accounts?

Yes, CHASUS33 is the standard SWIFT code for all Chase Bank accounts in the United States. You do not need a different code based on your account type, branch location, or account balance. Some international transfers may use the extended version CHASUS33XXX, but both codes route to the same bank.

Can I find my SWIFT code on my Chase debit card or statement?

No, your debit card and monthly statements do not print the SWIFT code. They show your account number and routing number instead. You will find the SWIFT code on Chase's website, in their wire transfer guide, or by calling Chase customer service.

What if I am sending money to a Chase account in another country?

If the recipient has a Chase account outside the United States, you will need their local SWIFT code, not CHASUS33. Chase operates in multiple countries, and each country's banking system has its own SWIFT codes. Ask the recipient for their bank's SWIFT code, or contact Chase to find the correct code for that country.

Do I need a SWIFT code to receive money from abroad?

Yes, you must give the sender your bank's SWIFT code (CHASUS33 for Chase) along with your account number and the name on your account. Without the SWIFT code, the sender's bank cannot route the money to Chase. Make sure the sender has all three pieces of information before they initiate the transfer.
