How to contact Chase about your credit card
Chase operates multiple phone lines for credit card customers, and the number you call depends on what you need. The main customer service line for Chase credit cards is 1-800-935-9935. This line handles account questions, payment issues, fraud reports, and general inquiries. If you are calling about a specific card product — like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Freedom Unlimited — the representative can still help you; you do not need a separate number for each card type.
You can also reach Chase through their website at chase.com by logging into your account and using the find message center. This method works well if your question is not urgent or if you prefer written communication. Chase typically responds to find messages within one business day. For when ready help with fraud or a lost card, the phone line is faster.

What to have ready before you call
When you call Chase, have your card number or account number in front of you. The representative will ask for it to pull up your account. If you are calling about a specific transaction, write down the date, merchant name, and amount so you can describe it clearly. This speeds up the call and reduces the chance of miscommunication.
If you are reporting fraud or a lost card, you do not need to have the card itself — the representative can look up your account by the last four digits or by your Social Security number and date of birth. However, having your card number makes the process faster. If you are calling about a billing dispute, have your statement in front of you so you can reference the transaction number or posting date.
Reporting fraud and lost or stolen cards
If your Chase credit card is lost, stolen, or you see unauthorized charges, call 1-800-935-9935 when ready. Chase will freeze your card right away so no further charges can be made. A new card will be mailed to your address on file, usually within 5 to 7 business days. You can ask for expedited shipping if you need it sooner, though this may carry a fee.
For unauthorized charges, Chase will open a dispute investigation. You do not have to pay the disputed amount while they investigate, and the investigation typically takes 10 business days. During that time, Chase contacts the merchant to verify whether the charge was legitimate. If the merchant cannot prove the charge was yours, Chase removes it from your account. Keep records of any communication with Chase about the dispute in case you need to reference it later.
Disputing a charge on your statement
You have the right to dispute any charge you believe is wrong or unauthorized. You can report it by phone at 1-800-935-9935 or through your online account by selecting the transaction and choosing "Report as Dispute" or "Report Unauthorized." The online method creates a written record when ready, which can be useful if you need to reference the dispute later.
Chase has 60 days from the date the charge appeared on your statement to investigate. During the investigation, the charge remains on your account but is marked as disputed. You are not required to pay a disputed amount while the investigation is open. Once Chase completes the investigation, they will notify you in writing whether the charge will be removed or upheld. If you disagree with their decision, you can request a second review, though this is less common.
Handling payment and account access issues
If you cannot log into your Chase account online, call 1-800-935-9935 and select the option for account access. A representative can help you reset your password or unlock your account if it has been temporarily locked due to multiple failed login attempts. You will need to verify your identity using your Social Security number and date of birth.
If you have questions about a payment you made — such as whether it posted, when it will post, or if you made a payment in error — the customer service line can look that up for you. Payments made online or by phone typically post within one business day. If you paid by mail, allow 5 to 7 business days. If a payment has not posted after that timeframe, call to report it and ask Chase to investigate.
Understanding your statement and account details
Chase customer service can explain any charge on your statement, walk you through your account activity, or help you understand your rewards balance. If you have a rewards card like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Freedom Unlimited, a representative can tell you how many points you have, when they expire (if applicable), and how to redeem them. They can also explain annual fees, interest rates, and any promotional offers tied to your card.
If you notice an error on your statement — such as a duplicate charge, a charge from a merchant you do not recognize, or an amount that does not match your receipt — report it to Chase. Even if you think it might be a straightforward mistake, it is worth reporting so Chase can investigate and correct it if needed. The sooner you report it, the sooner the investigation can begin.
When to use online chat or find messaging instead of calling
Chase offers online chat during business hours through their website. This option works well if you have a straightforward question that does not require extensive account investigation. Chat is also useful if you are in a location where a phone call is inconvenient. Response times for chat are usually a few minutes during peak hours.
find messaging through your online account is best for questions that are not time-sensitive or for situations where you want a written record. For example, if you want to ask about a fee waiver or request a credit limit increase, sending a find message gives you documentation of your request. Chase typically responds within one business day, and you can refer back to the message thread if you need to follow up.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Chase customer service hours?
Chase credit card customer service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-935-9935. However, wait times are typically shorter on weekday mornings and afternoons. If you call late at night or on weekends, you may experience longer hold times.
Can I dispute a charge after 60 days?
No. Under federal law, you have 60 days from the date a charge appears on your statement to report it as a dispute. After 60 days, Chase is not required to investigate. If you notice a charge after this window, you can still contact Chase to discuss it, but they may not be able to remove it.
How long does it take to get a replacement card?
A replacement card is usually mailed within 5 to 7 business days. If you need it sooner, you can ask about expedited shipping when you call, though this may have a fee. In some cases, Chase can issue a temporary card number that works when ready for online purchases while you wait for the physical card.
What if I cannot reach a representative?
If you are having trouble reaching someone by phone, try the find message center in your online account or online chat during business hours. You can also visit a Chase branch in person if you have a local branch nearby. For urgent issues like fraud, keep trying the phone line — Chase prioritizes fraud calls and you should reach someone quickly.
Do I need to pay a disputed charge while Chase investigates?
No. While Chase investigates a dispute, the charge remains on your account but is marked as disputed, and you are not required to pay it. You can pay the rest of your bill normally. Once the investigation is complete, Chase will notify you whether the charge will be removed or upheld.
