Chase offers phone support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but the number you call depends on what you need help with.
Chase Bank maintains separate phone lines for different types of accounts and issues. For personal banking questions—checking, savings, credit cards, or general account issues—call 1-800-935-9935. This line is staffed around the clock. For mortgage or home equity questions, call 1-800-848-9136. If you have a business banking account, use 1-866-564-2262. Each line routes you to specialists trained for that account type, which usually means shorter wait times than a general number.
When you call, have your account number or the phone number associated with your account ready. Chase's automated system will ask for this information before connecting you to a representative. If you are calling about a lost or stolen card, you can report it immediately through the automated system without waiting for a person.

What happens when you call Chase customer service
When you dial the number, an automated system answers first. It will ask you to confirm your identity using your account number, the phone number on file, or your Social Security number. This step usually takes two to three minutes. The system then routes you based on your account type and the issue you describe.
If you are calling about a fraud claim, a payment problem, or a locked account, the system prioritizes you higher in the queue. You may reach a representative within five to ten minutes. For general questions like balance inquiries or transaction history, you might wait longer—anywhere from ten to thirty minutes depending on call volume.
Representatives can handle most issues directly: disputing a charge, resetting a password, updating contact information, or explaining a fee. If your issue requires a specialist—such as a mortgage modification or investment account question—the first representative will transfer you rather than put you back in the queue.
When wait times are shortest
Chase call volume peaks between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays, especially Monday and Tuesday. If you can call outside these hours, you will typically wait less. Early morning (6 a.m. to 8 a.m.) and evening (after 7 p.m.) usually have the shortest queues. Weekends are also less busy than weekdays, though wait times still vary.
Calling on a holiday or the day after a major market event (like a stock market drop or interest rate announcement) will add time to your wait. If your issue is not urgent, waiting a day or two can significantly reduce hold time.
Issues you can handle without calling
Chase's mobile app and website handle many common tasks without a phone call. You can transfer money between accounts, pay bills, deposit checks by photo, freeze or unfreeze your debit card, reset your password, and view transaction history. You can also report a lost or stolen card through the app and receive a replacement within five to seven business days.
For fraud disputes, you can start the process online through your account settings under "Disputes" or "Claims," though you may need to speak with a representative to complete it. Checking your credit report or disputing an error on your credit file requires contacting the credit bureaus directly, not Chase.
What to have ready before you call
Gather these items before dialing to move through the call faster:
- Your account number or the phone number linked to your account
- Your Social Security number (last four digits at minimum)
- A recent statement or transaction details if you are disputing a charge
- Your current mailing address and phone number
- Any reference numbers from previous calls or online disputes
If you are calling about a specific transaction, have the date, amount, and merchant name available. If you are reporting fraud, write down the dates and amounts of unauthorized charges before calling so you do not have to search while on the phone.
When to call versus using other options
Call Chase customer service when you need immediate help with a fraud claim, a locked account, or a payment that failed. Call also if you have already tried to resolve the issue online and the system would not let you complete it. For questions about fees, interest rates, or account features, the website often has faster answers than a phone representative.
If you prefer not to call, Chase offers support through its mobile app, website chat (available during business hours), and secure messaging within your online account. Chat and messaging usually have response times of one to four hours during weekdays. For urgent issues, the phone line remains the fastest option.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Chase customer service actually available 24/7?
Yes, the personal banking line (1-800-935-9935) has representatives available around the clock, every day. However, wait times are longer during nights and early mornings because fewer representatives are staffed. Automated services like card blocking and fraud reporting work 24/7 without waiting for a person.
What if I cannot reach anyone after waiting a long time?
If your call drops or you hang up after a long wait, call back and mention you were just disconnected. The system may route you to the front of the queue. You can also try calling back thirty minutes later when volume may have decreased, or use the app or website to handle your issue if it does not require a live person.
Do I need to use a specific phone number for credit card versus checking account issues?
The main personal banking number (1-800-935-9935) handles both checking and credit card questions. You do not need separate numbers unless you have a mortgage, home equity line, or business account. The automated system will route you correctly once you confirm your account type.
Can I schedule a callback instead of waiting on hold?
Chase does not offer a formal callback system through its main phone line, but some representatives will offer to call you back if wait times are extremely long. Ask the automated system or the first representative if this option is available for your issue. Your best alternative is to call during off-peak hours or use the app or website.
What if I have a question about my credit score or credit report?
Chase customer service cannot discuss your credit score or help with credit report disputes. For credit questions, contact the three credit bureaus directly: Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion. You can also view your credit report free once per year at annualcreditreport.com.
