Chase Bank Cryptocurrency Policy

JPMorgan Chase Bank CEO Jamie Dimon has historically flip flopped on his positioning with respect to cryptocurrency since it broke the mainstream in 2017. However, his most recent views are more bullish toward the digital asset space which ultimately means Chase Bank account holders can freely transact with regulated cryptocurrency exchanges.

Back in 2017, the were some issues with Chase Bank freezing client funds if they were caught transferring US Dollars into some cryptocurrency exchanges. That has since cleared and ultimately enables account holders to seamlessly get access to crypto.

Can I buy Crypto with Chase Quickpay?

The only reliable way to buy Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies with Chase Quickpay is through a peer-to-peer exchange like Paxful or Local Bitcoins. This will link you up with a direct seller who will connect with you to setup the Bitcoin transfer.

This way has a lot of risks because you're dealing with random individuals, so we recommend sticking to secure and regulated crypto platforms in the USA.

Trading and Bank Fees

The fees you need to consider as a Chase account holder to start buying digital assets are deposit fees and trading fees.

When you deposit USD from your Chase account into some platforms like eToro, it will be completely free. The next fee you will be charged is after your deposit USD onto the exchange when you buy cryptocurrency. Fortunately for eToro users, and some other exchanges like Robinhood, there are no commissions on transactions.
