Customer experience

Customer support

Physical presence. Chase offers access to more than 4,700 branches and 15,000 Chase ATMs and has a banking presence in nearly every state.

Customer service. In addition to receiving support over the phone, Chase customers can also send a message in the Secure Message Center when logged onto the website or app.

High customer satisfaction. Chase bank consistently received high customer satisfaction scores in JD Power’s 2024 U.S. Retail Banking Satisfaction Study. Of note, Chase received the highest satisfaction score in the South Central region of the country.

Digital experience

Highly rated mobile app. Chase’s mobile app, which has been rated by more than seven million users, receives high scores on the Apple App and Google Play stores. The mobile app allows you to send money to anyone, pay your bills and create a budget. And because Chase offers credit cards, too, you’ll be able to find all of your banking products in one place through the app if you have a Chase credit card in addition to other deposit products, such as a checking or savings account.

Complaints

CFPB enforcement action. In 2017, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) fined Chase Bank $4.6 million for failing to implement the legally required processes for reporting information about consumers’ checking account behavior.

SEC fine. Most recently, in June 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined JPMorgan Chase $4 million for deleting 47 million emails from employees within the banking division of the company.

Bankrate staff insight

“I'm not surprised that its app is highly rated by its users,” said a Bankrate staff member who banks at Chase personally. “I like being able to see all of my accounts in one place. Not always, but most of the time wherever I've moved there has been a Chase nearby. That's nice not having to switch banks just because I moved. The mobile deposit and Zelle in the app are easy to use.”

Disclosure: To enhance our product reviews, Bankrate employees often open accounts and provide feedback. They may have been compensated for their time and account maintenance, but this does not affect the integrity of their review.

Bankrate methodology disclosure

In July 2024, Bankrate collaborated with a third-party vendor to survey 1,200 bank account holders nationwide. Bankrate and our vendor collected and summarized account holder responses to five rating questions on a 5-point scale as well as open-ended reviews of the banking experience. Responses are based on individual account holder product details, and therefore cannot be verified for accuracy. Reviewers received an incentive for their feedback. Their ratings are unedited and have not been reviewed or approved by the associated bank or credit union, nor do these responses reflect Bankrate's own expert review of these banking products.
