Where to find your Chase Swift code online

Chase publishes its Swift codes on its official website under the international wire transfer section. Go to chase.com, search for "Swift code" or "international wire," and you'll land on a page listing codes by location and branch type. The main Swift code for Chase Bank USA is CHASUS33, which works for most wire transfers into the United States. Some branches have additional codes depending on whether you're wiring to a checking account, savings account, or business account.

You can also call Chase directly at the number on the back of your debit or credit card and ask for the Swift code you need. A representative will confirm the correct code for your specific account type and destination country. This takes five minutes and removes any doubt about which code to use.

What a Swift code does

A Swift code is a standardized identifier that tells the sending bank which financial institution and branch should receive an international wire transfer. Swift stands for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. When you send money from outside the United States to a Chase account, the sending bank uses the Swift code to route the funds to the correct Chase location.

Swift codes are eight or eleven characters long. The first four letters identify the bank (CHAS for Chase), the next two identify the country (US for United States), the next two identify the city or region, and the last three (if included) identify the specific branch. Without the correct Swift code, your wire transfer may be delayed or sent to the wrong account.

Checking your Chase account documents

Your monthly bank statement or account summary may already list the Swift code. Log into your Chase online account, download a recent statement, and look for a section labeled "Wire Transfer Information," "International Transfer Details," or "Swift Code." Not all statements include this information, but many do, especially if you've received international transfers before.

If your statement doesn't show it, check any welcome letters or account setup documents Chase sent you when you opened the account. These sometimes include wire transfer details. If you still can't find it, the phone call to Chase customer service remains the most reliable option.

Using the correct code for your transfer type

Chase has one primary Swift code for most incoming international wires: CHASUS33. However, some transfers may require a different code depending on the sending country, the type of account you're receiving into, or whether the transfer is personal or business. Before you provide your Swift code to someone sending you money, confirm with Chase that CHASUS33 is correct for that specific transfer.

If you're sending money out of Chase to another country, you'll need the Swift code of the receiving bank, not Chase's code. That code comes from the bank in the destination country. Chase can help you find it if you provide the name and location of the receiving bank.

What to do if you can't find the code

Call Chase customer service at 1-800-935-9935 (the number is also on the back of your Chase card). Have your account number ready. Tell the representative whether you're receiving an international wire or sending one, and they'll give you the correct Swift code within minutes. This is free and takes less time than searching multiple websites.

You can also visit a Chase branch in person and ask a teller for the Swift code. Bring your ID and account information. Some branches keep printed reference sheets with this information, and a teller can write down the exact code you need. This option works well if you prefer to handle banking matters face-to-face or if you want documentation in writing.

Swift codes for different Chase locations

While CHASUS33 covers most Chase accounts, some regional or specialized branches may use different codes. Chase has locations across the country, and wire transfer routing can vary by region. If you're wiring to a Chase branch in a specific state or city, the code may differ from the standard one.

Business accounts, trust accounts, and accounts held by non-U.S. residents sometimes require alternative codes. The safest approach is to ask Chase directly rather than assume CHASUS33 will work. A five-minute phone call prevents delays and ensures the money reaches the right place on the first attempt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CHASUS33 the Swift code for all Chase accounts?

CHASUS33 works for most Chase accounts receiving international wires. However, some business accounts, trust accounts, or transfers from specific countries may require a different code. Always confirm with Chase before the sender initiates the transfer.

Do I need a Swift code to receive a wire transfer from another U.S. bank?

No. Swift codes are only for international transfers. If someone is sending you money from another U.S. bank, they need your routing number and account number instead. Chase can provide both if you ask.

What if the sender used the wrong Swift code?

The wire may be delayed, rejected, or sent to a different bank. Contact Chase immediately with the transfer details and the code that was used. Chase can sometimes trace the wire and redirect it, but this takes time. Ask the sender to contact their bank to correct the error.

Can I find the Swift code on my Chase debit card?

No. Swift codes are not printed on cards. You'll find them on your statement, on chase.com, or by calling customer service.

What's the difference between a Swift code and a routing number?

A routing number identifies a specific Chase branch for domestic U.S. transfers. A Swift code identifies Chase for international transfers and includes country and region information. You need a routing number for transfers within the U.S. and a Swift code for transfers from outside the country.
