You can hide accounts in the Chase app, but the account still exists and still receives transactions
The Chase mobile app lets you hide savings accounts, checking accounts, and other linked accounts from your main dashboard view. This is called hiding an account, and it removes the account from your list of balances without deleting it, closing it, or stopping deposits and withdrawals. The account continues to work normally—transfers still land there, interest still accrues, and statements still arrive. Only the visibility on your app changes.
The hidden account will not appear when you open the app or swipe through your accounts. You can unhide it at any time by going back into settings. This is useful if you want to keep a savings account out of sight to avoid spending from it, or if you simply want a cleaner dashboard when you have many accounts linked to one login.
Key Takeaways
- Hiding an account in the Chase app removes it from your dashboard view but does not close the account or stop transactions from reaching it.
- You hide an account by opening the app, tapping the account, selecting the menu icon, and choosing "Hide account"—the exact steps vary slightly between iOS and Android.
- A hidden account can still receive direct deposits, transfers, and payments; you can still access it by unhiding it in settings.
- Hiding an account is not the same as freezing it or putting a hold on it; the account remains fully active.
Steps to hide a savings account on iOS
Open the Chase mobile app and log in. Tap the account you want to hide from your list of accounts on the dashboard. Once you are viewing that account's details, look for the three horizontal lines (menu icon) in the top right corner of the screen and tap it.
A menu will appear with several options. Scroll down until you see "Hide account" and tap it. The app will ask you to confirm. Tap "Hide" again to confirm your choice. The account will immediately disappear from your main dashboard and your list of accounts.
Steps to hide a savings account on Android
Open the Chase mobile app and log in. Tap the account you want to hide. At the top right of the account details screen, tap the three vertical dots (menu icon).
A dropdown menu will appear. Tap "Hide account." The app will ask you to confirm the action. Tap "Hide" to complete the process. The account will no longer appear on your dashboard or in your account list.
How to unhide an account if you need access again
If you hide an account and later need to see it again, you can unhide it. Open the Chase app and tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines on iOS, three dots on Android) at the bottom or top of the screen, depending on your device. Look for "Settings" or "Preferences."
Scroll down and find "Hide/Show Accounts" or "Manage Accounts." You will see a list of all your accounts, including the ones you have hidden. Tap the hidden account and select "Show account" or toggle it back on. The account will reappear on your dashboard immediately.
What happens to money in a hidden account
Hiding an account does not affect the money in it. Direct deposits will still land in the account. Automatic bill payments and transfers you have set up will still process normally. Interest will continue to accrue if it is a savings account. You can still move money in and out of the account—you just have to unhide it first to see the balance and transaction history on your dashboard.
If you have set up alerts or notifications for that account, they will continue to work even while the account is hidden. You will still receive text or email alerts if a large deposit arrives or if the balance drops below a threshold you set.
The difference between hiding and freezing an account
Hiding an account and freezing an account are two different things. Hiding only changes what you see on your app—the account remains fully active. Freezing an account (also called a card freeze or account lock) stops new transactions from going through, though existing automatic payments may still process depending on your bank's rules.
If you want to prevent yourself from spending from a savings account, hiding it is a visual tool. If you want to actually block transactions, you would need to freeze the account or the debit card attached to it through a different menu in the Chase app, or contact Chase customer service.
Why you might want to hide a savings account
Many people hide savings accounts to reduce the temptation to transfer money out for everyday spending. If you have a goal—an emergency fund, a down payment, a vacation—hiding the account from your main view can help you stay focused on that goal. You still know the money is there, but you are less likely to tap into it on impulse.
Hiding accounts is also useful if you have many linked accounts and want a simpler dashboard. If you have a joint account, a business account, a savings account, and a money market account all on one login, hiding the ones you do not check often can make your app easier to navigate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my employer still be able to deposit my paycheck into a hidden account?
Yes. Direct deposits go to the account number and routing number you provided to your employer, regardless of whether the account is hidden in your app. Hiding the account does not change its routing number or account number, so deposits will arrive normally.
Can I hide an account if I have a pending transfer to or from it?
Yes. Pending transfers will still complete even if the account is hidden. The transfer will land in the account or leave it as scheduled. You can unhide the account at any time to see the transaction history.
If I hide an account, will other people with access to my Chase login see it?
No. Account visibility is tied to your individual login, not the account itself. If someone else logs into their own Chase account, they will see their own hidden or visible accounts. If you share a joint account, hiding it on your app does not hide it from the other account holder's app.
What if I forget which account I hid?
Go to Settings, find "Hide/Show Accounts," and you will see a complete list of all your accounts, including the hidden ones. You can unhide any account from that menu in seconds.
