While some branches may have Saturday hours, these are not considered business days for processing transactions, deposits, or ACH transfers. Deposits made on non-business days are processed on the next business day.

Chase's 5/24 rule is an unofficial policy preventing approval for most of their credit cards if you've opened five or more new personal credit card accounts from any bank in the last 24 months, including cards you're an authorized user on. It counts new cards from other issuers (like Amex, Citi, Capital One) and sometimes Chase itself, but often excludes business cards not reported to personal credit reports. You must be under 5/24 to get approved, meaning you can only have opened four cards in the prior 24 months.
