Chase's main customer service number and what it covers
Chase Bank's general customer service line is 1-800-935-9935. This number handles account questions, fraud reports, card replacement, and billing disputes for most Chase credit cards. The line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
When you call, you'll reach an automated system first. It will ask you to enter your card number or account information to route your call to the right department. If you don't have your card handy, you can say "representative" to skip to a person, though wait times may be longer.
Chase also maintains separate numbers for specific situations. The fraud and security line is part of the main number but prioritizes calls about unauthorized charges or lost cards. Business credit card holders and premium cardholders (like those with the Chase Sapphire Reserve) may have dedicated lines listed on their statements or in their online account.

What to have ready before you call
Gather your Chase credit card, your account number, and any recent statements or transaction details related to your question before dialing. If you're calling about a specific charge or dispute, have the transaction date, merchant name, and amount written down. This speeds up the call and reduces the chance you'll need to call back.
If you're reporting fraud or a lost card, you don't need to wait for documents — call when ready. Chase can freeze your account right away over the phone. If your card is lost but not fraudulent, they can issue a replacement and discuss temporary payment options while you wait for the new card to arrive.
When to use phone versus online channels
Phone is fastest for urgent issues: fraud, lost cards, and payment problems that need when ready action. It's also the right choice if you've already tried to resolve something online and need to escalate to a supervisor or if you prefer speaking to a person about complex account changes.
Chase's website and mobile app handle routine tasks faster during business hours. You can view your balance, make payments, dispute a charge, or request a credit limit increase without waiting on hold. The app also offers a callback feature — you enter your number and Chase calls you back instead of making you wait on the line.
Chat support through the Chase website and app is available during extended hours and often has shorter wait times than phone lines during peak times (typically 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays). Use chat for questions that don't need when ready resolution, like asking about rewards redemption or card features.
Numbers for specific Chase card types and situations
Most Chase credit cards route through the main 1-800-935-9935 line, but some premium and business cards have dedicated support. Check the back of your card or your most recent statement — many include a cardholder services number specific to your card tier.
If you hold a Chase business credit card, look for a business services number on your statement. These lines often have shorter wait times because they handle fewer calls than the consumer line. Chase Sapphire Reserve and Chase Sapphire Preferred cardholders may see a concierge or premium services number listed as well.
For questions about Chase credit card rewards programs (Ultimate Rewards, for example), the main customer service line can help, but you can also log into your online account and access the rewards center directly. Many redemption questions are answered faster through the website than by phone.
What happens if you can't reach someone
If wait times are very long, try calling during off-peak hours: early morning (before 8 a.m.), late evening (after 8 p.m.), or weekends. Mondays and Fridays tend to be busier than mid-week days. If your issue isn't urgent, the callback feature in the Chase app or website often has shorter wait times than calling directly.
For non-urgent issues, you can also send a find message through your Chase online account. Log in, go to the "Contact Us" section, and select "Send a find Message." Response times are usually one to two business days. This method creates a written record of your question and Chase's response, which is useful if you need to reference the conversation later.
If you're having trouble reaching Chase or believe you've been treated unfairly, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) at consumerfinance.gov. This doesn't replace calling Chase, but it creates an official record if the issue isn't resolved through normal channels.
International calling and alternative contact methods
If you're calling from outside the United States, check your Chase statement or the back of your card for the international customer service number. Calling the domestic 1-800 number from abroad will not work. International numbers vary by country and are listed in your cardholder materials.
You can also reach Chase through their website at chase.com. The "Contact Us" page lists phone numbers, chat options, and branch locations. If you have a Chase checking account linked to your credit card, you can visit a local Chase branch in person to handle many credit card issues, though phone or online is usually faster for routine questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a shorter wait time if I call at a specific time?
Yes. Early mornings (before 8 a.m. Eastern), late evenings (after 8 p.m.), and weekdays between Tuesday and Thursday typically have shorter hold times than Monday mornings or Friday afternoons. The callback feature in the Chase app often has wait times listed before you request a call.
What if I'm calling about a fraudulent charge that happened weeks ago?
Chase has a 60-day window to investigate unauthorized charges under federal law. Call the fraud line at 1-800-935-9935 and explain when you first noticed the charge. Even if it's been several weeks, Chase will still investigate, though the process may take longer if the charge is older.
Can I dispute a charge over the phone, or do I have to do it online?
You can dispute a charge over the phone by calling 1-800-935-9935. The representative will document your dispute and explain the investigation timeline, which is usually 30 to 60 days. You can also start a dispute through your online account or app, which creates an when ready record.
What if I'm calling about a card I no longer have or can't find?
Call 1-800-935-9935 and tell the automated system you need to report a lost or stolen card. This routes you to the fraud team, who can freeze your account when ready while you wait for a replacement. You don't need the card number to report it lost — they can look up your account by phone number or Social Security number.
Do I have to pay to call Chase customer service?
No. Calling 1-800-935-9935 is toll-free from any phone in the United States. If you're calling from outside the U.S., standard international rates explore unless you use the country-specific number listed on your statement.
