what is chase routing number
A Chase routing number is the 9‑digit code that identifies JPMorgan Chase as your bank and the specific region where you opened your account, so that payments like direct deposits, ACH transfers, and wires can be sent correctly.
What a Chase routing number is
- It is a unique 9‑digit number assigned to Chase for a given state or region in the U.S. banking system.
- It works like a bank “address” that payment networks use to know which bank (and region) to send money to.
- You use it together with your account number for things like payroll direct deposit, automatic bill pay, tax refunds, and many online transfers.
Examples of Chase routing numbers
Chase has different routing numbers depending on the state where you opened your account, plus a special one for wire transfers.
| Type / State | Example Chase routing number |
|---|---|
| Domestic & international wire transfers | 021000021 (Chase wire routing number in the U.S.) | [9][1]
| Arizona (regular checking) | 122100024 | [1][3]
| California / Nevada | 322271627 | [3][1]
| Florida | 267084131 | [1][3]
| Illinois | 071000013 | [3][1]
| New York (Downstate) | 021000021 | [1][3]
| New York (Upstate) | 022300173 | [3][1]
| Texas | 111000614 | [7][1]
| Washington / Oregon | 325070760 | [7][1]
These are common examples; always confirm your exact routing number with Chase before sending money, because numbers can change over time.
How to find your Chase routing number
If you want the precise number for your own account, you have a few options.
- On a paper check
- Look at the bottom of a Chase check: the routing number is the first 9‑digit block on the left, before your account number.
- In the Chase Mobile app or online banking
- Sign in, open the specific account, go to account details, and you’ll see both routing and account numbers listed.
- By contacting Chase
- Call Chase customer service and ask them to confirm the routing number for your account and location.
- Using a state‑based list
- Chase (and various financial sites) publish charts of routing numbers by state where the account was opened.
Why the right routing number matters
- Using the wrong routing number can delay or misdirect transfers like payroll, tax refunds, or wire payments.
- Some transactions (like wires) use a specific “wire” routing number that is different from your regular ACH/check routing number.
- Always double‑check both your routing and account numbers before submitting forms for direct deposit, bill pay, or large transfers.
Quick recap
- A Chase routing number is the 9‑digit identifier for Chase and your account’s region, used for ACH, direct deposit, and wires.
- Chase uses different numbers by state, plus 021000021 as the standard U.S. wire routing number.
- You can find yours on a check, in the app/website, or by asking Chase directly.
