Closest Chase Bank to Albuquerque, New Mexico

Chase Bank is one of the largest banking institutions in the United States, with nearly 5,200 branches spread throughout the country. However, if you live in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area, you’re (currently) out of luck if you bank with Chase (or want to), and you need to access a local branch.

The closest Chase branch location to Albuquerque is in El Paso, Texas, just under a four hour drive south down I-25.  Google has the drive listed at 3 hours and 44 minutes officially. Chase Bank has several locations in El Paso.

While El Paso is the shortest drive away from Albuquerque with respect to time, if you’re looking for the shortest distance between Albuquerque and a Chase Bank location, you could also head west to the Pinetop location in Lakeside, Arizona or to the Show Low branch office, which is just two miles further away.
