First Republic Bank Routing Number: Chase Acquisition Guide

What is the First Republic Bank routing number?

First Republic Bank used routing number 321081669 for its California-based accounts before it was seized by the FDIC and sold to JPMorgan Chase in May 2023. First Republic was the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history, with over $229 billion in assets at the time of its closure.

Following the acquisition, JPMorgan Chase assumed all of First Republic Bank's deposits and substantially all of its assets. Former First Republic customers were transitioned to Chase accounts, and the legacy routing number is no longer active for new transactions.

Chase acquisition and account migration

JPMorgan Chase completed its acquisition of First Republic Bank through an FDIC-facilitated sale on May 1, 2023. Chase converted all First Republic branches and migrated customer accounts to the Chase banking platform over the following months.

Former First Republic customers received new Chase account numbers and routing numbers. Chase uses state-specific routing numbers, so your new routing number depends on the state where your account is domiciled. Check the Chase website or app for your specific number.

How to find your current Chase routing number

Log into the Chase mobile app or chase.com to view your current routing and account numbers. Navigate to your account details, where both your ACH routing number and wire transfer routing number are displayed.

You can also find your Chase routing number on any new checks issued after the migration, by calling Chase customer service at 1-800-935-9935, or by visiting a Chase branch. Common Chase routing numbers include 021000021 (New York) and 322271627 (California).

Updating your financial connections

After the transition from First Republic to Chase, update all recurring payments, direct deposits, and transfer instructions with your new Chase routing and account numbers. The old First Republic routing number 321081669 will not process new transactions.

Pay special attention to wire transfer instructions, as Chase may use different routing numbers for domestic and international wires. Contact each payee and payer individually to ensure uninterrupted payment flows.
