You can hide a Chase savings account from your app's main view, but the account still exists and Chase still holds your money

The Chase mobile app lets you hide savings accounts, checking accounts, and other linked accounts from your dashboard — the screen you see when you open the app. Hiding an account removes it from your balance totals and transaction lists at a glance, but the account remains active, your money stays there, and you can unhide it whenever you want.

This is useful if you have multiple accounts and want to focus on one, or if you keep a savings account separate and don't want to see it every time you check your balance. It's not the same as closing the account or moving your money elsewhere.

Key Takeaways

  • Hidden accounts stay active and hold your money — hiding only changes what you see in the app, not the account itself.
  • You hide an account by opening the app, finding the account, and selecting the option to hide it from your dashboard.
  • You can unhide a hidden account at any time using the same menu, so this is fully reversible.
  • Hidden accounts still appear in your full account list and in statements, so Chase and your bank records know they exist.
  • If you want to truly separate money, you may want to move it to a different bank instead of just hiding it in the app.

Steps to hide a savings account in the Chase app

Open the Chase mobile app and sign in. On your dashboard, find the savings account you want to hide. Tap and hold on that account tile, or look for a menu icon (three dots or lines) next to the account name — the exact location depends on which version of the app you have.

When the menu appears, look for an option that says "Hide account," "Hide from dashboard," or similar wording. Tap it. The account will disappear from your main dashboard view when ready. Your balance totals at the top of the app will no longer include that account's balance.

If you don't see a menu option, try swiping left or right on the account tile itself — some app versions use swipe gestures instead of tap-and-hold. If you're still stuck, the Chase app's built-in help section or a call to Chase customer service can walk you through the exact steps for your phone type.

Where hidden accounts still show up

Even though a hidden account doesn't appear on your dashboard, it still shows up in other places. If you scroll down in the app or look for a "View all accounts" or "Accounts" section, hidden accounts appear there. You can still transfer money to and from a hidden account, and you can still see its transactions if you tap into it.

Hidden accounts also appear on your monthly statements, in your online banking portal at Chase.com, and in any tax documents Chase sends you. If someone else has access to your account (a joint owner, an authorized user, or someone with power of attorney), they can see hidden accounts too. Hiding an account is a display preference, not a security measure.

How to unhide an account

To bring a hidden account back to your dashboard, open the Chase app and look for a "View all accounts" section, usually near the bottom of the dashboard or in a menu. Find the hidden account in that list. Tap and hold it or select the menu icon next to it, then choose "Show account" or "Unhide account."

The account will reappear on your main dashboard when ready, and its balance will be included in your totals again. You can hide and unhide accounts as many times as you want with no penalty or waiting period.

Why you might hide an account instead of closing it

Hiding an account is useful if you want to keep the account open but out of sight. For example, you might hide an emergency savings account so you're not tempted to spend from it, or hide a second checking account you use for a specific purpose. The account earns any interest Chase offers, and you can still access it whenever you need to.

If you actually want to close an account and stop using it, hiding won't do that — you would need to contact Chase to close it. If you want to move your money somewhere else entirely, you would transfer it to another bank and then close the Chase account.

What happens if you forget you have a hidden account

If you hide an account and forget about it, the money stays in Chase and continues to earn any interest the account offers. Your monthly statements will still show the account, so you won't lose track of it completely. However, if you're trying to keep a budget or track your total savings, a hidden account can slip your mind.

To avoid this, consider keeping a note of which accounts you've hidden, or periodically check your "View all accounts" section to see the full list. If you have automatic transfers or bill payments set up on a hidden account, those will continue to work normally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does hiding an account protect it from someone who has my password?

No. Hiding an account only removes it from your dashboard view. Anyone who can sign into your Chase account can see all your accounts, including hidden ones, by going to the full account list. If you're concerned about account security, contact Chase about adding extra security features or limiting who can access the account.

Can I hide an account on the Chase website instead of the app?

The hide feature is primarily available in the mobile app. On Chase.com, you can usually see all your accounts, but the website may have different display options. Check your account settings on the website or contact Chase to ask about hiding accounts there.

If I hide a savings account, will transfers to it still work?

Yes. Hidden accounts work exactly the same as visible ones. You can still transfer money into and out of a hidden account, set up automatic transfers, and use it for bill payments or direct deposits. Hiding only changes what appears on your dashboard.

What if I hide an account and then forget which one I hid?

Go to your "View all accounts" section in the app — this shows every account you have, hidden or not. You can also check your monthly statements, which list all accounts. If you're still unsure, contact Chase and they can tell you which accounts are active on your profile.

Can I hide an account temporarily and then show it again later?

Yes. You can hide and unhide accounts as many times as you want. There's no limit, no waiting period, and no fee. It's a straightforward display preference that you can change whenever you need to.
