Chase UK Fees 2026 — Full Breakdown of Charges

Chase UK has no monthly fee and no foreign spending fee. Here is a complete breakdown of every Chase UK charge in 2026 — what's free, what costs, and what to watch out for.

Chase UK’s current account is free to use for the vast majority of everyday transactions. There is no monthly fee, no foreign spending fee, and no fee for UK transfers or ATM withdrawals. The main thing to watch is the £1,500-a-month cap on cash withdrawals abroad — this is a hard limit, not a percentage fee.

Here is every fee associated with Chase UK in 2026, clearly laid out. For a full account overview, see the Chase UK Review 2026 or the Chase UK hub.

UK ATM Withdrawals

Fee type Amount

Daily withdrawal limit £500
Third-party ATM access fee Varies by ATM operator

Note: Some ATMs — particularly in convenience stores, petrol stations, and nightclubs — charge their own access fee. This is charged by the ATM provider, not Chase, and is displayed on-screen before you confirm the transaction.

Foreign Spending

Fee type Amount
Foreign transaction fee (card purchases) £0
Foreign currency exchange markup £0 (Mastercard rate used)
Foreign ATM withdrawal (Chase fee) £0, subject to a £500/day and £1,500/month withdrawal cap
Dynamic currency conversion (DCC) Avoid — applied by merchant, not Chase

Some older or third-party sources describe a 1.5% fee applying to foreign ATM withdrawals above a £500 monthly allowance. This is not reflected in Chase’s current published terms as of September 2026 — the constraint is the £1,500/month withdrawal cap, not a percentage fee. Confirm the current position in the Chase app before travelling.

Card Fees

Fee type Amount
Debit card issue £0
Card replacement (lost/stolen) £0
Apple Pay / Google Pay £0
Contactless payments £0

Overdraft

Fee type Amount
Arranged overdraft Not available
Unarranged overdraft Not available — transactions declined

Chase UK does not offer an overdraft facility. If you attempt a payment that exceeds your account balance, the transaction will be declined rather than creating an unarranged overdraft charge.

What Chase UK Does NOT Charge For

To make it clear: the following are all free with Chase UK:

  • Opening and holding the account
  • UK Faster Payments (any amount up to your limit)
  • UK ATM withdrawals
  • Foreign card payments (any currency, any country)
  • Foreign ATM withdrawals, within the £500/day and £1,500/month caps
  • Standing orders and direct debits
  • Using Apple Pay or Google Pay
  • Card replacement

The Main Thing to Watch

The main constraint most Chase customers encounter abroad is not a fee — it’s the £1,500-a-month cap on total cash withdrawals abroad. Once you reach that cap, further ATM withdrawals on your Chase card will not be possible until the next calendar month, regardless of any fee.

Should You Worry About Chase’s Fees?

For most UK customers, the answer is no. Chase UK is structured as a genuinely fee-free account. The main scenario to plan around:

  1. You need more than £1,500 in cash from foreign ATMs in a single calendar month — Chase’s limit, not a fee, is the constraint
  2. You use a fee-charging ATM in the UK or abroad — the fee is charged by the ATM operator, not Chase, and is avoidable

If you are looking for a fee-free everyday account, Chase UK’s fee structure is one of the cleanest available in the UK in 2026 — though remember the current account itself no longer pays interest (that stopped in August 2024), so any interest you earn with Chase comes from the linked Saver or Round-up account.
