Where to find your routing number in the Chase mobile app
Open the Chase mobile app and tap Account Details from the account menu. Your routing number appears on the same screen as your account number—it's the nine-digit code labeled "Routing Number" or "ABA Number." You can also find it by tapping the account you need, then selecting Account Info or Details, depending on your app version.
The routing number shown in the app is specific to the branch or processing center where your account is held, not to your physical branch location. Chase uses different routing numbers for different account types and regions, so the number in your app is the correct one to use for that specific account.
If you cannot locate the Account Details section, swipe left on your account tile from the main screen—this often reveals additional options including account information. Some older app versions place this under Settings or More instead.
Key Takeaways
- Your Chase routing number appears in the mobile app under Account Details or Account Info, displayed as a nine-digit code.
- The routing number in your app is tied to your specific account type and processing location, not your physical branch.
- You can also find your routing number on the bottom left of any check you have from that account.
- Chase assigns different routing numbers to different regions and account types, so always use the number shown in your app for that account.
Why you need your routing number and when to use it
Your routing number tells the banking system which Chase location processes your account. You need it when setting up direct deposit, arranging automatic bill payments, or transferring money from another bank into your Chase account. Without the correct routing number, the transfer will fail or go to the wrong account.
The routing number is different from your account number. Your account number identifies your specific account within Chase; the routing number identifies which Chase processing center handles it. Both are required together for most transfers.
Finding your routing number outside the app
If you do not have the app or prefer not to use it, your routing number appears on the bottom left corner of any check from that account. The nine-digit code is printed between two colons, before your account number.
You can also call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit or credit card. A representative can confirm your routing number over the phone. This is useful if you need to verify the number before setting up a transfer.
Chase's website also displays your routing number if you log in to your online account. Go to Account Details or Account Info in the same way you would in the app.
Different routing numbers for different account types
Chase uses separate routing numbers for checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts. If you have multiple account types at Chase, each one may have its own routing number. Always use the routing number that matches the specific account you are transferring to or from.
The app shows the correct routing number for whichever account you are viewing. If you switch to a different account, the routing number may change. Check the app again to confirm you have the right one before completing a transfer.
What to do if the routing number in your app looks wrong
If the routing number in your app does not match the one on your checks, the app is showing the current routing number for your account. Chase sometimes updates routing numbers when accounts are transferred between processing centers. The number in your app is the one you should use for new transactions.
If you are unsure whether the number is correct, call Chase or check your most recent bank statement. The routing number on your statement should match what appears in the app. If there is a significant difference or you see an error, contact Chase directly before using the number for a transfer.
Copying and sharing your routing number safely
The routing number itself is not sensitive information—it is public and appears on your checks. You can safely share it with employers for direct deposit, with other banks for transfers, or with billers for automatic payments. The routing number alone cannot be used to withdraw money or access your account.
Never share your full account number and routing number together in an email or text message. If you are setting up a transfer with another bank, that bank will ask for both pieces of information, but enter them directly into their secure system rather than sending them through email.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the routing number in the Chase app the same as the one on my checks?
Usually yes, but not always. If your account was recently transferred to a new processing center, the app may show a newer routing number than what is printed on older checks. Use the number from the app for new transactions, as it is current for your account.
Can I use the same routing number for all my Chase accounts?
No. Different account types—checking, savings, money market—may have different routing numbers. Always check the app for the specific account you are using. Using the wrong routing number will cause the transfer to fail or go to the wrong account.
What if I cannot access the Chase app right now?
Check the bottom left of any check from that account. The nine-digit code between the colons is your routing number. You can also log into Chase online or call customer service at the number on your card.
Do I need my routing number to make a payment from my Chase account?
Not for payments you make from your Chase account to others. You need your routing number when someone else is pulling money from your account—like an employer setting up direct deposit or a biller setting up automatic payments. For payments you initiate, you typically only need the recipient's routing number.
Is it safe to give my routing number to my employer for direct deposit?
Yes. Your routing number is public information and appears on your checks. Employers need it to deposit your paycheck into the correct account. The routing number alone cannot be used to withdraw money.
