JPMorgan Chase is the largest bank in the United States, but its ATM network isn’t the biggest in the country — not by a long shot. Learn Moreat Chase BankThe bank operates more than 16,000 ATMs in 25 states. Althoughthat makes it one of the largest networks in the U.S., it’s dwarfed by Citibank, which hasabout 34,000 ATMs in the U.S. And the Co-Op Network, a consortium of some 3,500 credit unions, boasts 30,000 fee-free ATMs for customers of member branches. If you’re a Chase customer usingone of the bank’s ATMs, you can make fee-free deposits, withdrawals and transfers between linked accounts. Customers usingthe bank’s most basic checking account, Chase Total Checking, have to pay $2.50 per transaction at out-of-network ATMs ($5 outside U.S.), plus any fees charged by the ATM owner. Chase Premier Platinum users get as manyfree transactions at non-Chase ATMs as they’d like, while Chase Premier Plususersget four permonth.

Next steps
If you live in a Chase hub, you’ll likely find an ATM virtually everywhere —the bank isparticularly prominent in the Northeast, on the West Coast, and in parts of Texas and Florida. But if you don’t live in its service area and regularly use out-of-network ATMs, your fees could add up quickly. Those who fall into the latter category and frequently use ATMs, may find a better banking fit with a national bank or credit union that has ties to a larger network.
