No ATM fees worldwide³, plus no Chase fee4 on incoming or outgoing wire transfers.
Once you open an account, schedule a meeting with your banker to help you get started, open additional accounts, and move funds over to Chase.
³ There is no Chase fee at non-Chase ATMs. Chase will refund ATM fees charged by the ATM owner/network. This benefit will begin the next business day after opening the account. Some ATM owners/networks do not identify these fees in the information they send to us and, as a result, we may not automatically refund the fee. If for any reason the refund is not processed, please contact us. There is no Foreign Exchange Rate Adjustment Fee when conducting transactions in a foreign currency. If you choose to convert an international transaction to U.S. dollars at either an ATM or on a purchase, foreign currency commissions and fees included in the exchange rate charged by third parties are excluded from Chase reimbursements.
4 For wire transfers, the “No Chase Fee” benefit applies to the Wire Transfer Fees section listed on the Fee Schedule of the Additional Banking Services and Fees, which can be found at chase.com/disclosures content. Financial institutions may deduct processing fees and/or charges from the amount of the incoming or outgoing wire transfers. Any deductions taken by us, and our affiliates, may include processing fees charged by Chase.
