How to reach Chase credit card customer service by phone
The phone number on the back of your Chase credit card is the fastest way to reach someone about your account. That number routes you to the right department based on what you need — whether you're reporting fraud, asking about a balance, or disputing a charge.
If you don't have your card handy, you can call Chase's main customer service line at 1-800-935-9935. This number works for most Chase credit card products. Have your card number or the phone number associated with your account ready when you call, as the system will ask for it to pull up your information.
Chase also operates a fraud and dispute line at 1-800-955-9060 if you need to report unauthorized charges or a lost or stolen card. This line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What to have ready before you call
Gathering a few pieces of information before you dial saves time once you're connected. Have your Chase credit card number available, or the phone number associated with your account. If you're calling about a specific transaction, write down the date, merchant name, and amount so you can reference it without searching.
If you're disputing a charge or reporting fraud, have any supporting documents nearby — a receipt, an email confirmation, or a statement showing the charge. The representative may ask you to describe what happened, and having details ready means you won't have to call back.
For questions about your account status, credit limit, or rewards balance, you don't need anything beyond your card number. The automated system can often answer these questions without connecting you to a person.
What you can handle through the automated system
When you call, Chase's automated system can handle many requests without you speaking to a representative. You can check your account balance, recent transactions, available credit, and rewards points balance by following the voice prompts. The system can also tell you your minimum payment due and payment due date.
You can make a payment through the automated system using a bank account or another Chase card. The system will confirm the amount and date the payment will post. You can also report a lost or stolen card through the automated system, which will when ready freeze your account.
If you need to speak with someone — to dispute a charge, discuss a rate change, or ask about a specific transaction — the automated system will transfer you to the next available representative after you select that option.
Speaking with a representative about disputes and fraud
When you reach a representative, explain the issue clearly and concisely. If you're disputing a charge, tell them the date, the merchant, and why you believe the charge is wrong — whether the merchant charged you twice, charged you for something you didn't receive, or you don't recognize the charge at all.
For fraud claims, the representative will ask you to confirm which charges you recognize and which ones you don't. They may place a temporary hold on your account while they investigate. Chase typically has 10 business days to investigate a dispute, though they may resolve it faster.
The representative can also discuss your interest rate, annual fee, or credit limit. If you're unhappy with your rate or fee, ask whether you're may be able to access for a reduction. Representatives sometimes have the authority to adjust these, though it's not may provide.
When to call versus using Chase's online portal
Chase's online portal and mobile app let you handle many tasks without calling. You can view your balance, make payments, read statements, and check recent transactions anytime. If you need to update your address, phone number, or email, the app is often faster than calling.
Call when you need to dispute a charge, report fraud, discuss your rate or credit limit, or ask a question the app can't answer. You should also call if you're having trouble logging into your account or if the app isn't working as expected.
For time-sensitive issues — a lost card, an unauthorized charge, or a payment that needs to post by a specific date — calling is usually faster than waiting for an online chat response or sending a find message through the portal.
What to expect regarding wait times and hours
Chase credit card customer service is available during standard business hours and extended hours depending on the line. The main customer service number operates Monday through Friday, with reduced hours on weekends. The fraud and dispute line operates 24 hours a day.
Wait times vary by time of day and day of the week. Calling early in the morning on a weekday typically means shorter waits. Evenings, weekends, and the first few days after a holiday often have longer hold times. If you reach an automated message saying wait times are long, you can ask to receive a callback instead of holding.
Some representatives may transfer you between departments if your issue requires specialized handling. This can add time to your call, but it ensures you reach someone who can fully address your concern.
