Where to Find Your Chase Bank Routing Number

Your Chase routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies your specific Chase branch, and you can find it on a check, through your online account, or by calling Chase directly.

The routing number tells other banks and payment processors which Chase location holds your account. You need it to set up direct deposit, arrange wire transfers, or authorize automatic payments. Chase has different routing numbers for different states and account types, so the number you need depends on where your account is based and what you're using it for.

The fastest way to find your routing number is to look at a check from your account — it's printed at the bottom left. If you don't have a check handy, you can log into your Chase online banking account, call Chase customer service, or visit a Chase branch in person.

Key Takeaways

• Your Chase routing number appears at the bottom left of any check linked to your account, before your account number.
• You can find your routing number by logging into Chase.com, calling 1-800-935-9935, or visiting a Chase branch with your ID.
• Chase uses different routing numbers depending on your account location and type, so confirm you have the right one for your specific branch.
• The routing number is always nine digits and is different from your account number, which appears to the right of the routing number on a check.
• You may need your routing number for direct deposit setup, wire transfers, ACH payments, or setting up bill pay through another bank.

Finding Your Routing Number on a Check

The easiest place to locate your routing number is on the bottom left corner of any check from your Chase account. The nine-digit number appears first, followed by your account number (which is longer), then the check number on the far right. The routing number is always in the same position on every Chase check.

If you have a checkbook but haven't used any checks yet, you can still look at a blank check from the book. The routing number is printed the same way on all checks from that account, whether they've been written or not.

Checking Your Routing Number Online

Log into your Chase account at Chase.com using your username and password. Once you're signed in, go to the account details or account information section — the exact location varies slightly depending on whether you're using the desktop site or the mobile app.

In the desktop version, this information is often found under "Account Services" or by clicking on your account name. On the mobile app, look for a menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select "Account Details." Your routing number should appear alongside your account number. If you can't locate it in these sections, you can also view it through the "Set Up Direct Deposit" or "Wire Transfer" pages, which display routing information as part of the process.

Calling Chase to Confirm Your Routing Number

You can call Chase customer service at 1-800-935-9935 to speak with a representative who will provide your routing number. Have your account number and a form of ID ready, as the representative may ask for verification information before sharing account details.

Customer service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you're calling from outside the United States, you can find the international number on the back of your Chase debit or credit card.

Visiting a Chase Branch in Person

Walk into any Chase branch with your ID and ask a teller for your routing number. They can print it out for you or write it down on a piece of paper. This method works well if you need the information when ready and prefer to speak with someone face-to-face.

You don't need an appointment. Branch hours vary by location, so check the hours for your nearest Chase branch on Chase.com before you go.

Understanding Chase Routing Numbers by State

Chase uses different routing numbers depending on which state your account is based in. For example, accounts held at Chase branches in New York have a different routing number than accounts held in California. The routing number on your check or in your account details reflects the state where you opened or maintain your account.

If you've moved to a different state since opening your account, your routing number may not have changed — it stays tied to the original branch location. When you need your routing number for a transaction, always use the one associated with your actual account, not the routing number for a Chase branch in your current state.

When You Need Your Routing Number

You'll need your Chase routing number when setting up direct deposit with an employer or government agency, arranging an incoming wire transfer from another bank, authorizing automatic bill payments, or transferring money between your Chase account and an account at a different bank. Some employers and payment services ask for it during onboarding or account setup.

Keep your routing number handy but treat it like other account information — don't share it with people you don't trust. Your routing number alone cannot be used to withdraw money from your account, but combined with your account number it can be used to set up unauthorized transfers, so only provide it to legitimate businesses and institutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my routing number the same as my account number?

No. Your routing number identifies the Chase branch that holds your account, while your account number identifies your specific account. On a check, the routing number appears first (nine digits), followed by your account number (usually 10 to 12 digits). You need both for most banking transactions.

Do all Chase accounts in the same state share the same routing number?

No. Chase assigns routing numbers by branch location, not by state. Two Chase customers in the same city might have different routing numbers if their accounts are held at different branches. Your routing number reflects the specific branch where your account was opened.

What if I can't find a check or access my online account?

Call Chase customer service at 1-800-935-9935 with your account number and ID ready. A representative can provide your routing number over the phone. You can also visit a Chase branch in person with your ID and ask a teller to look it up for you.

Can I use any Chase routing number, or does it have to be the exact one for my branch?

You must use the routing number for your specific account. Using the wrong routing number can cause transfers to fail or be delayed. Always verify you have the correct routing number before submitting it for direct deposit, wire transfers, or bill pay.

Is it safe to give my routing number to my employer for direct deposit?

Yes. Your routing number is meant to be shared with employers, government agencies, and other institutions that need to deposit money into your account. It's public information and cannot be used alone to withdraw money. However, keep your full account number private and only share it with trusted organizations.
