Chase Bank is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). In the unusual event that the bank fails, every customer’s funds are guaranteed $250,000. Chase also uses security procedures similar to other big banks, such as advanced account information encryption and two-factor authentication.
Chase has a variety of checking and savings accounts to choose from. Each account holder has access to all of Chase’s physical facilities and ATMs, as well as internet banking and the Chase mobile app.
Monthly maintenance fees apply to Chase’s checking and savings accounts. If you maintain a specific minimum amount or make consistent monthly payments, you may avoid these fees depending on the account. You can open a Chase account online or in person at a Chase branch. You’ll require your:
