How to Reach Chase Bank by Phone
Chase's main customer service number is 1-800-935-9935
Chase Bank's primary phone line for customer service is 1-800-935-9935. This number works for most account questions, fraud reports, card issues, and general banking needs. The line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you call, an automated system will ask what you need, then route you to the right department or let you speak with a representative.
The wait time varies depending on the time of day and how busy the line is. Early morning and weekday afternoons typically have shorter waits than evenings or weekends. If you are calling about a time-sensitive issue like fraud or a lost card, tell the automated system that first — these calls usually move faster through the queue.
You can also reach Chase through their website's find message system if your issue is not urgent. Log into your Chase account online, go to the "Contact Us" section, and send a message. A representative will respond within one to two business days. This method works well for questions about statements, account changes, or loan information.

What to have ready before you call
Gather your account information before dialing. Have your account number, Social Security number, and the card or account you are calling about nearby. If you are calling about a specific transaction, write down the date and amount so you can describe it clearly. This speeds up the call because the representative can pull up your account right away instead of asking you to repeat details.
If you are calling about fraud or a lost card, you do not need to have everything memorized — just be ready to answer security questions to prove you own the account. Chase will ask for your date of birth, the last four digits of your Social Security number, and sometimes recent transactions you recognize. Have a quiet place to take the call so you can hear the representative and they can hear you clearly.
Department-specific phone numbers
While 1-800-935-9935 handles most calls, some Chase products have their own lines. Your credit card statement, mortgage documents, or business account paperwork will list a specific number if one exists for that product. For example, Chase mortgage customers sometimes see a different number on their loan statements. Business banking customers may have a dedicated line for their account type.
Before calling a department-specific number, check your most recent statement or log into your account online. The number listed there is usually faster than the main line because it routes directly to specialists in that area. If you cannot find a specific number, the main line can transfer you to any department you need.
When to call versus when to use online options
Call when ready if your card is lost or stolen, you see fraud on your account, or someone has accessed your account without permission. These issues need to be reported right away, and a representative can freeze your account and issue a new card on the same call. Do not wait for business hours — the 24-hour line exists for these emergencies.
Use online messaging or the website for questions about your balance, recent transactions you recognize, account statements, or requests to change your address or contact information. These do not need an when ready answer, and you will have a written record of the response. You can also use the Chase mobile app to check balances, transfer money, and pay bills without calling at all.
What to expect during the call
After you dial, an automated voice will greet you and ask what you need. You can say your issue out loud or press numbers on your keypad. The system understands common phrases like "I lost my card," "I see fraud," or "I have a question about my account." Based on your answer, you will either be transferred to a representative or given self-service options like checking your balance or making a payment.
If you are transferred to a representative, they will verify your identity by asking security questions. This usually takes two to three minutes. Once verified, they can discuss your account, make changes, dispute transactions, or answer questions. The entire call typically lasts 10 to 20 minutes depending on how complex your issue is.
International calling and hearing-impaired options
If you are outside the United States, you can still reach Chase, but you will need to call a different number. Check your statement or the Chase website for the international customer service number for your country. International calls may incur charges depending on your phone plan.
Chase offers a relay service for customers who are deaf or hard of hearing. You can use a video relay service (VRS) or text relay service (TRS) to communicate with a representative. Information about these services is available on the Chase website under accessibility options. You can also request an accommodation when you call the main number and explain your needs to the representative.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a number I can call to check my balance without talking to a person?
Yes. When you call 1-800-935-9935, the automated system offers a self-service option to check your balance, recent transactions, and make payments. You do not have to wait for a representative unless you choose to. You can also check your balance anytime through the Chase mobile app or website.
What if I call and get a different number or message?
Chase occasionally updates its phone system or routes calls differently based on your account type. If you reach a different number, follow the prompts or ask to be transferred to the main customer service line. If you see a message saying the line is full, you can hang up and try again later, or stay on the line and wait for the next available representative.
Can I schedule a callback instead of waiting on hold?
Some Chase departments offer callback options during peak hours. When you call, listen to the prompts — if a callback option is available, the system will mention it. You can request a callback and Chase will call you back within a certain timeframe instead of making you hold. This is not available for all call types, but it is worth asking if you reach a very long wait.
What if my issue requires a specialist or supervisor?
Tell the representative you need to speak with a supervisor or specialist. They can transfer you or escalate your case. Some issues, like disputes or complaints, may require a supervisor review, and the representative will document your request and make sure it reaches the right department.
Is there a way to reach Chase outside of phone support?
Yes. You can use find messaging through your online account, visit a Chase branch in person, or use the Chase mobile app to handle many issues. For written complaints or formal disputes, you can mail a letter to the address on your statement. Phone support is fastest for urgent issues, but these other options work for questions that are not time-sensitive.
