To upgrade Safari to version 16 or later required by Chase you would need to upgrade your Mac to a version later that macOS 10.15.7.


Whether you can do that depends on the model (e.g., iMac, MacBook Air, etc) and model year of your Mac. Both of those are available at Apple menu > About this Mac. Reply with that information and someone here can give you more information.

 

If you can’t or don’t want to upgrade, you may want to use a 3rd party internet browser that supports running their current version on your Mac. One option is Chrome: https://www.google.com/chrome/

This is Chase's problem to fix. They need to stop using the outdated and privacy-intrusive "user agent" query. Unfortunately, that leaves you out in the cold until they realize the error of their ways and correct it.


The workaround for end users who are unable to update their Macs to a newer macOS version is to use a different browser.


Consider Brave:

Firefox is a distant second choice:

The bottom line is that there is nothing wrong with your Mac's version of Safari, but that bank is using an outdated and ill-conceived method of determining browser requirements. If you are so motivated direct their attention to the WWW publication User-Agent Client Hints (courtesy VikingOSX).
