CHASUS33: JPMorgan Chase SWIFT Code Explained

CHASUS33 is the SWIFT/BIC code for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. — the code you need to receive or send an international wire transfer through Chase.

What Is CHASUS33?

CHASUS33 is the primary SWIFT/BIC code for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., registered at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10179. It is recognized by banks worldwide as the identifier for Chase in the SWIFT network and is used for all international wire transfers to and from JPMorgan Chase Bank accounts in the United States. You may also see it written as CHASUS33XXX — both refer to the same institution and are equally valid.

Breaking Down the CHASUS33 Code

Every SWIFT code follows a standardized structure. Here is what each segment of CHASUS33 means:

CHAS — Bank identifier for JPMorgan Chase Bank
US — ISO country code for the United States
33 — Location code identifying Chase's primary New York office
XXX — Optional three-character suffix indicating the head office (no specific branch)

The first four characters always identify the bank, the next two identify the country, and the final two (in an 8-character code) identify the location or office. When the code is extended to 11 characters, the trailing XXX confirms the wire is directed to the head office rather than a specific branch.

When to Use CHASUS33 vs CHASUS33XXX

Both codes route to exactly the same place: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s head office. There is no functional difference between them.

Use CHASUS33 for any standard wire instruction form that accepts an 8-character SWIFT code. This is the most common format and is accepted universally.

Use CHASUS33XXX when a sending bank's system or wire form specifically requires an 11-character BIC code. Some international banking platforms — particularly in Europe — validate SWIFT fields against an exact character count and will reject an 8-character entry. In those cases, adding XXX satisfies the format requirement without changing the routing.

If you are distributing wire instructions and are unsure which format the sender's bank requires, including CHASUS33XXX covers both cases — 11-character systems accept it, and most 8-character systems will either auto-trim the suffix or accept the full string.

Full Wire Transfer Instructions for CHASUS33

To receive an international wire into a JPMorgan Chase Bank account, provide the sender with the following:

Bank name: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
SWIFT/BIC code: CHASUS33 (or CHASUS33XXX)
Bank address: 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10179
Account number: Your full Chase account number
Account holder name: Your full legal name or registered business name
Account holder address: Your address on file with Chase

For non-USD transfers, Chase may route the wire through a correspondent bank before funds reach your account. Confirm with your sender whether an intermediary is required for the specific currency and originating country.

Is CHASUS33 Still Valid?

Yes. CHASUS33 is the active, current SWIFT code for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. It is not a legacy code, not a decommissioned identifier, and not specific to a particular Chase product or account type. It applies to all standard Chase bank accounts in the United States and is the correct code to provide for any incoming international wire.

If you have seen CHASUS33 on older wire instructions or received it from a counterparty and want to verify it before initiating a transfer — it is valid. Chase has maintained this SWIFT code as its primary BIC without change.

CHASUS33 vs Chase Routing Number

CHASUS33 and Chase's routing numbers serve completely different purposes and operate in separate systems.

CHASUS33 is for international wire transfers only. It identifies JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. within the global SWIFT network and is used whenever funds are crossing a U.S. border.

Chase routing numbers are for domestic U.S. transfers only. The most widely used is 021000021 for wire transfers, though Chase uses different routing numbers for ACH and by region. Routing numbers are not recognized by international banks and cannot be used in place of a SWIFT code.

The practical rule: if the sender is located outside the United States, give them CHASUS33. If the sender is a U.S.-based bank, employer, or individual, give them the routing number. Providing a routing number to an international sender — or a SWIFT code to a domestic ACH system — will cause the transfer to fail.

How Slash Helps

Chase is a natural home for large incoming international wires — stable, widely recognized, and accepted by banks in virtually every SWIFT-connected country. For businesses that receive vendor payments, client wires, or investor transfers from overseas, CHASUS33 does its job reliably.

Where Chase falls short is everything that happens after the money lands. No per-vendor card controls, no real-time transaction visibility across a team, no cashback on business spend, and no built-in tooling for managing expenses across departments or geographies.

Slash runs alongside your Chase account. Keep receiving international wires via CHASUS33 into Chase. Use Slash for operational spend: virtual cards with per-vendor limits, real-time tracking across every transaction your team makes, cashback on business expenses, and international card spend without foreign transaction fees. The combination gives you Chase's institutional stability for treasury and inbound wires, and Slash's control layer for everything your team spends day to day.
