1 Same page link returns to footnote reference 1 For Chase Secure CheckingSM only: Early direct deposit is a service that comes with your Chase Secure Checking account in which we credit your eligible direct deposit transaction up to two business days early. You must set up direct deposit to your account. The timing of when these transactions will be credited is based on when the payer submits the information to us. This means when these transactions are credited could vary and you may not receive your funds early. Eligible transactions are certain ACH credit transactions such as payroll, government benefits or similar transactions.
2 Same page link returns to footnote reference 2 We will decline or return transactions when you do not have enough money in your account to cover the charge. However, you could still end up with a negative balance if, for example, a transaction is approved for one amount, but then the actual charge is more than what you have in your account (like when you add a tip at a restaurant after the transaction for the meal was already approved). Even if you have a negative balance, we will not charge you an overdraft fee.
3 Same page link returns to footnote reference 3 New and converted accounts will not be charged a Monthly Service Fee for at least the first two statement periods. After that the Monthly Service Fee will apply unless you meet one of the ways to avoid the Monthly Service Fee each statement period (if applicable).
4 Same page link returns to footnote reference 4 Service Fee: Chase Secure Checking has no Monthly Service Fee when you have electronic deposits made into this account totaling $250 or more, such as payments from payroll providers or government benefit providers, by using (i) the ACH network, (ii) the Real Time Payment or FedNowSM network, or (iii) third party services that facilitate payments to your debit card using the Visa® or Mastercard® network. Otherwise a $4.95 Monthly Service Fee will apply. New and converted accounts will not be charged a Monthly Service Fee for at least the first two statement periods. After that, the Monthly Service Fee will apply unless you meet one of the ways to avoid the Monthly Service Fee each statement period (if applicable).
