Closing a Chase checking account can be done by physically going to a Chase branch and presenting your valid ID, by phone call to Chase customer service, or via a secure message through your online banking. It is advisable that you do not have any balance, have cleared all pending transactions, and have updated any linked services like direct deposits or subscriptions before closing the account.
