How to Find Your Chase Bank Routing Number

Chase routing numbers depend on which state you bank in and what type of account you have

Chase does not have a single routing number for the entire bank. Instead, Chase maintains different routing numbers for different states and account types. The routing number you need is determined by the state where your Chase branch is located, not where you live or where you are sending money.

A routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies your specific bank and branch. Banks use it to process transfers, direct deposits, and bill payments. When you set up a wire transfer or authorize an automatic payment, you will need to provide both your routing number and your account number so the money reaches the right place.

The most common way to find your routing number is to look at the bottom left corner of your checks — the first set of numbers printed there is your routing number. If you do not have checks or prefer not to use them, Chase provides your routing number through online banking and customer service.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Chase routing number is printed on the bottom left of your checks as the first nine-digit number.
  • Chase routing numbers vary by state, so you must know which state your account is registered in to find the correct one.
  • You can find your routing number by logging into Chase online banking, calling Chase customer service, or visiting a Chase branch in person.
  • Wire transfers, direct deposits, and bill payments all require your routing number along with your account number to process correctly.

How to find your routing number through Chase online banking

If you have a Chase online banking account, you can locate your routing number without leaving your computer. Log in to your Chase account at chase.com, then navigate to the account details or account information section. The routing number is typically listed alongside your account number.

The exact location varies slightly depending on whether you use Chase's website or mobile app, but both display your routing number in the account summary or account settings area. If you cannot find it after looking through these sections, the next fastest option is to call Chase customer service.

Calling Chase customer service for your routing number

You can reach Chase customer service by calling the number on the back of your debit card or credit card. Have your account number ready when you call. A representative will confirm your identity and provide your routing number over the phone.

Chase customer service is available during business hours, and wait times vary depending on the time of day and day of the week. If you are calling outside business hours, you can still access your routing number through online banking or by visiting a branch the next business day.

Visiting a Chase branch in person

Any Chase branch can provide your routing number. Bring a valid photo ID and your account number or a check from your account. A teller can look up your routing number in seconds and write it down for you if you need it in writing.

This option works well if you are already planning to visit a branch for another reason, but it is usually slower than checking online or calling if you need the number right away.

Common Chase routing numbers by state

Chase uses different routing numbers in different states. Below are some of the most commonly used Chase routing numbers, but this list is not complete — your specific routing number depends on your account type and the state where your account is registered.

StateRouting Number
California322271627
Florida267084131
Illinois071101307
New York021000021
Texas111000025

If your state is not listed here, or if you are unsure which routing number applies to your account, use one of the methods above — checking your checks, logging into online banking, or calling customer service — rather than guessing. Using the wrong routing number can delay your transfer or cause it to fail.

What to do if you need your routing number for a wire transfer

Wire transfers require both your routing number and your account number. Before you initiate a wire, confirm that you have the correct routing number for your account. If you provide an incorrect routing number, the wire may be sent to the wrong bank or rejected entirely.

When you set up a wire transfer through Chase online banking or at a branch, Chase will ask you to enter the recipient's routing number (if sending money out) or provide your own routing number (if receiving money). Double-check the number before confirming the transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the routing number on my check the same as my account number?

No. On a check, the routing number is the first nine digits on the bottom left. Your account number comes after the routing number and is typically 10 to 12 digits long. Both are needed for transfers and bill payments, but they serve different purposes.

Can I use the same routing number for all my Chase accounts?

Not necessarily. If you have accounts at Chase branches in different states, each account may have a different routing number. Check each account individually to confirm. If all your accounts are at branches in the same state, they likely share the same routing number.

What if I enter the wrong routing number when setting up a transfer?

The transfer may fail or be sent to the wrong bank. If you realize the mistake before the transfer is processed, cancel it and start over with the correct routing number. If the transfer has already been sent, contact Chase customer service right away — they may be able to recall or redirect it, but this is not always possible.

Do I need my routing number to receive a direct deposit?

Yes. When you set up direct deposit with an employer or government agency, you will need to provide both your Chase routing number and your account number. The employer uses these to deposit your paycheck into the correct account.

Is my routing number the same as my bank's main routing number?

Not always. Chase has multiple routing numbers depending on location and account type. Your specific routing number is tied to your account and branch, not to Chase as a whole. Always use the routing number associated with your individual account.
