To activate a Chase Ink card, visit the Chase activation page. Then, log in or create a new account, and select the card from the “My Accounts” menu. Cardholders can also activate a Chase Ink card through the issuer’s mobile app or by calling customer service at (800) 945-2028.
How to Activate Your Chase Ink Card
- Online: Visit the Chase card activation page. Then, log in to your account. Alternatively, you can create an account using either your Social Security Number or application number, if you don’t already have a business online account. Keep in mind that this account is separate from your personal account profile. Be prepared to enter your card number for verification, too.
- Through the mobile app: Download the app for Android or iOS. Then, either create an online account or log in with your credentials. After that, follow the on-screen instructions to activate your card.
- Over the phone: Call (800) 945-2028 or the number you see on the back of your card. Next, follow the automated prompts to reach the option to activate the card. Then, provide the Chase Ink card number and the last four digits of your Social Security Number. If possible, call from the phone number you entered on the application to avoid having to answer additional security questions.
Keep in mind that your Chase Ink card will be available to use immediately after activation.
