You can find your Chase routing number in the Chase mobile app in about 30 seconds by navigating to your account details. Open the app, tap on the checking or savings account you need the number for, and look for the account information section that displays both your routing and account numbers.
Step-by-Step in the Chase App
Open the Chase mobile app and sign in. From the main screen, tap the checking or savings account whose routing number you need. Once you’re on the account screen, tap “Show details” or the three-dot menu (depending on your device), then look for the option labeled “Account/routing number” or “Account details.” Your nine-digit routing number will appear alongside your account number. You can copy it directly from the screen.
If you don’t see a “Show details” link right away, scroll down on the account activity page. Chase sometimes places the account information behind a small dropdown or expandable section near the top of the screen. The exact layout can shift slightly between app updates, but the routing number is always accessible from your individual account view rather than the main dashboard.
Other Quick Ways to Find It
If you have a Chase checkbook handy, the routing number is the first nine-digit number printed along the bottom-left edge of any check. Your account number follows it, and the check number is at the far right.
You can also find it by logging into chase.com on a desktop browser. Click on your account, then look for the link that says “See full account number” or a similar label near the top of the page. The routing number displays right next to it. Chase also lists routing numbers on monthly statements, typically in the header area near your account number.
Why Chase Has Multiple Routing Numbers
Chase uses different routing numbers depending on the state where you opened your account. If you opened your account in one state and later moved, your routing number stays tied to the original state. This is why looking it up through the app for your specific account is more reliable than searching for a generic “Chase routing number” online.
You may also encounter different routing numbers depending on the type of transaction. The routing number on your checks (called an ABA routing number) is designed for paper check processing. For electronic transfers like direct deposit or bill pay, your bank may use an ACH routing number, which handles digital transactions processed through the Automated Clearing House network. At Chase, these two numbers are often the same, but wire transfers use a separate routing number entirely. For domestic wire transfers, Chase’s wire routing number is 021000021 regardless of your state. The app and Chase’s website will typically specify which number to use for each purpose.
Which Routing Number to Use
The type of transaction determines which number you need:
- Direct deposit or ACH transfers: Use the routing number shown in your account details on the Chase app. This is the number your employer or another bank will ask for when setting up electronic payments.
- Paper checks: The number printed on the bottom of your checks. For Chase accounts, this is usually identical to the ACH routing number.
- Domestic wire transfers: Chase uses 021000021 for domestic wires. This is different from the routing number tied to your account’s home state.
- International wire transfers: You’ll need Chase’s SWIFT code (CHASUS33) in addition to the wire routing number. The recipient’s bank will typically tell you what format they require.
When someone asks you for “your routing number” without specifying the transaction type, they almost always mean the ACH/direct deposit number, which is the one displayed in the Chase app under your account details. If you’re setting up a wire transfer, double-check that you’re providing the wire-specific number, since using the wrong one can delay or reject the transfer.
