How to Find Your Chase Bank Swift Code

What a Swift Code Is and Why Chase Uses One

A Swift code is an eight- or eleven-character code that identifies a specific bank branch during international wire transfers. Chase Bank has its own Swift codes — one for the main institution and separate ones for certain divisions or regions. When you send money to or receive money from outside the United States, the receiving bank uses the Swift code to route your payment to the correct Chase location.

Swift stands for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. It is the global standard for moving money between banks across borders. Without a Swift code, an international transfer cannot be processed.

Key Takeaways

• Chase Bank's primary Swift code for U.S. operations is CHASUS33, though some transfers may use CHASUS33XXX with three additional characters.
• The Swift code you need depends on which Chase branch or division is handling your account, so confirm with your bank before sending an international transfer.
• You can find your correct Swift code by calling Chase customer service, logging into your online banking portal, or asking your Chase branch directly.
• International wire transfers require both a Swift code and a routing number, and providing the wrong code will delay or reject your payment.

Chase Bank's Main Swift Code for U.S. Accounts

For most Chase checking and savings accounts in the United States, the Swift code is CHASUS33. This eight-character code represents Chase Bank USA, N.A., the main operating entity for consumer and business banking. Some systems display it as CHASUS33XXX, with three trailing X's added for technical reasons — both versions refer to the same bank.

If you are sending or receiving an international wire and your account is a standard Chase U.S. consumer account, CHASUS33 is the code to provide. However, if your account is held at a Chase subsidiary, investment division, or international branch, the code may differ. Confirming with Chase before you initiate a transfer prevents delays.

How to Find Your Swift Code Through Chase Online Banking

Log into your Chase online banking account and navigate to the wire transfer or international payment section. Many Chase accounts display the Swift code directly in the wire instructions or transfer details page. Look for a section labeled "Wire Instructions," "International Transfer," or "Payment Details."

If the code is not visible in your account dashboard, you can read your account statements or wire instruction sheet, which often includes the Swift code at the bottom. Some Chase accounts also show this information in the account settings or under "Account Details."

Calling Chase Customer Service to Confirm Your Swift Code

The fastest way to get your exact Swift code is to call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit or credit card. Tell the representative you need the Swift code for an international wire transfer. They will confirm whether CHASUS33 applies to your account or whether you need a different code based on your account type.

Have your account number ready when you call. The representative may also provide you with other details you will need, such as your routing number or the specific Chase branch address for the wire. Write down everything they give you and keep it for your records.

Asking Your Local Chase Branch in Person

Visit or call your local Chase branch and ask to speak with someone in the business banking or wire transfer department. They can print out your complete wire instructions, including the Swift code, routing number, and account number formatted exactly as international banks need them. This is especially helpful if you plan to make multiple international transfers and want a document you can reference each time.

Branch staff can also tell you if there are any special requirements for your specific account or if Chase has updated its codes recently. Having this information on paper from the bank itself reduces the risk of typos when you provide details to the sending bank.

What Information You Need Alongside the Swift Code

A Swift code alone is not enough to complete an international wire. You will also need your routing number (a nine-digit U.S. bank code), your account number, and your full name as it appears on the account. Some international banks also ask for the bank's full address or a reference number for the transfer.

When someone sends you money from abroad, provide them with all of this information together. If you are sending money out of the U.S., your bank will ask you for the recipient's Swift code, account number, and the receiving bank's details. Mixing up any of these pieces can cause the transfer to fail or be delayed by several days.

Common Mistakes When Using Chase Swift Codes

The most common error is using an outdated or incorrect Swift code. If you found a code online years ago, it may no longer be current. Always confirm the code directly with Chase rather than relying on old emails or notes. Another mistake is confusing the Swift code with the routing number — they serve different purposes, and using one in place of the other will cause the transfer to be rejected.

Do not assume that all Chase accounts use the same Swift code. If you have a business account, investment account, or account at a Chase subsidiary, the code may be different. Verify before you send money. Finally, do not add extra characters or spaces to the code — enter it exactly as Chase provides it, whether that is CHASUS33 or CHASUS33XXX.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Swift code the same as the routing number?

No. A routing number is a nine-digit code used for domestic U.S. transfers between banks. A Swift code is an eight- or eleven-character code used for international transfers. You need the routing number for transfers within the U.S. and the Swift code for transfers outside the U.S.

Can I use CHASUS33 for all my Chase accounts?

CHASUS33 works for most standard Chase consumer and business accounts in the U.S. However, if you have a Chase investment account, a business account at a Chase subsidiary, or an account held outside the U.S., the code may differ. Contact Chase to confirm which code applies to your specific account.

What happens if I provide the wrong Swift code?

The transfer will likely be rejected or delayed. The sending bank will not be able to route your money to Chase, and it may be returned to the sender. In some cases, the funds go to the wrong bank entirely. Always verify the code with Chase before initiating a transfer.

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

Yes. The person or business sending you money will need your Swift code, routing number, and account number to complete the transfer. Provide all three pieces of information to may support the money reaches your Chase account without delay.

Where do I find the Swift code if I do not have online banking access?

Call Chase customer service or visit your local branch in person. Both can provide your Swift code and wire instructions when ready. You can also check old wire instruction letters or account statements from Chase, which often include the code at the bottom.
