In the molecular structure of the title compound, C15H13ClNO2
+·CF3SO3
−, the methoxy groups are nearly coplanar with the acridine ring system, making dihedral angles of 0.4 (2) and 5.1 (2)°. Multidirectional π–π contacts between acridine units are observed in the crystal structure. N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link cations and anions, forming a layer structure
