Don't waste time looking - lock first, search later.
Locked cards reject all in-store, online, and ATM transactions immediately. If you find the card later, just unlock it - you don't need to call Chase. Recurring auto-payments also pause until you unlock.
Once locked, call 1-800-935-9935 (24/7). Press the option for "lost or stolen card" - this bypasses the main queue and connects you to a live agent in under 60 seconds, even at 3 a.m.
Tell the agent: "I want to report my Chase debit card lost (or stolen) and request a replacement. The account number ends in [last 4 digits]."
The agent will:

While on the call, ask the agent to walk through your last 30 days of transactions. Flag anything you don't recognize. Chase's Zero Liability protection covers unauthorized charges with prompt reporting - usually credited back within 1-3 business days while they investigate.
For larger disputes, Chase may require a written statement. The agent will email a form to sign and return.
The new card will have a different number, expiration, and CVV - so any service that bills your old card will fail until updated. Common services to update:
Some merchants use Visa Account Updater - your new card details flow through automatically. Others don't, and you'll need to log in and update manually.
If you suspect theft (not just lost), file a police report. Chase doesn't require it for most fraud cases, but it helps if:
If you've shared your PIN or the thief used it at an ATM, report immediately - PIN-based withdrawals are harder to dispute than signature charges.
Yes - Chase's Zero Liability protection covers unauthorized debit and credit charges as long as you report promptly. Provisional credit usually posts within 1-3 business days.
Standard delivery is 3-5 business days. Overnight or same-day is available for a fee. Branch pickup is sometimes available for premium accounts.
Yes. Use Chase Mobile, online banking, Zelle, and Apple Pay / Google Pay (the digital card number works even if the physical card is missing). ATM withdrawals require the physical card.
No. Locking blocks card transactions only - direct deposits, transfers, and bill pay continue normally.
Other questions our readers commonly ask about this topic:
Yes - Chase Bank customer service is reachable on a toll-free U.S. number that does not charge a per-minute fee. Standard mobile-carrier minutes may apply on metered cellular plans. International callers may pay long-distance charges depending on country and carrier. Visit our Chase Bank contact page for current toll-free numbers and hours.
Simple problems (account access, password resets, basic billing questions) typically resolve in a single 10-15 minute call. Complex issues (refund disputes, identity verification, escalated complaints) usually take 3-7 business days because they need supervisor review or document submission. If your case has stalled past 7 business days, escalate to a supervisor or the executive customer service team.
First, politely ask to escalate to a supervisor or to the executive customer service team. Most brands have an internal "office of the president" that handles complex complaints. If escalation does not resolve it, file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (bbb.org), your state Attorney General consumer-protection portal, and - for finance, telecom, or airline issues - the relevant federal agency (CFPB, FCC, or DOT). Our Chase Bank customer service guide lists the alternate channels.
