Opening an Account With CHASE

Opening an online account with Chase is a simple four-step process. A minimal number of questions are asked during each step, and all questions are standard for bank account applications.

Step 1

Are you already a CHASE customer?

Opening a business account with Chase requires more steps than opening a Chase personal account.

You can open a Chase business checking account online if your business is a privately held sole proprietorship, corporation, or LLC (with one member or manager). All other business entities must apply in person at a local branch. Chase operates more than 4,700 retail branches across 48 states.

While no minimum deposit is required to open a Chase Business Complete Checking account, you must transfer money into your account within 60 days, or the account will be closed.

After your account is funded and set up, you’ll be able to manage your business banking using Chase online, the Chase mobile app, and by visiting Chase branches and ATMs.

What you need to open a Chase business account:

Business owners need to supply the following documents and information to open a Chase business checking account:

  • Two forms of identification, including a government-issued photo ID.
  • Employer identification number (or Social Security number for single-member LLCs).
  • Business documents, including assumed name or DBA certificate, articles of organization or incorporation, partnership agreement, and business license, depending on your entity type.
  • Business address and telephone number.
  • Date of birth, Social Security number, and personal address for anyone with 10% or more ownership in the company.

State Availability

Available in all states

Customer Support

Although Chase is the largest bank in the United States ($3.31 trillion in assets in 2022), it is easy to contact customer support. Chase’s website provides toll-free support numbers for its various offerings, with different toll-free numbers for each product line (credit card, personal banking, auto loans, home lending, etc.) and online banking customers. Chase also has separate numbers for domestic and overseas military personnel.

When we called the Chase Customer Support line for personal banking, we found the phone prompts minimal and easy to navigate. The system has a convenient voice recognition feature for account holders to speed up the customer identification process and a ‘call back’ option for customers who don’t wish to remain on hold to speak with a representative. Representatives are live human beings.

In Conclusion

Chase has a complete online banking product line and an advanced platform backed by a customer service network that has received mostly positive reviews from its customers. We find no substantial drawbacks to doing business with Chase since online customers wishing to connect personally with a Chase employee can visit a nearby Chase branch office.
