Where to find your account number in State Farm's online banking
State Farm does not offer checking accounts. State Farm is an insurance company, not a bank. If you have a checking account and also buy insurance from State Farm, those are two separate financial relationships with two different companies.
If you are looking for a checking account number, you need to log into your actual bank's website or app — the institution where you opened the account and deposit your paychecks. That bank might be a large national chain like Chase or Bank of America, a regional bank, a credit union, or an online-only bank. State Farm's website will not show it.
If you are not sure which bank holds your checking account, look at a recent check you wrote, a bank statement, or a debit card. The routing number and account number are printed on the bottom left of a check. Your bank's name appears on the check itself and on your debit card.
Key Takeaways
- State Farm sells insurance, not banking products, so your checking account is held at a different financial institution.
- To find your account number, log into your actual bank's website or mobile app using the login credentials for that bank.
- If you cannot remember which bank you use, check a recent check, bank statement, or debit card — your bank's name is printed on all of them.
- Your account number appears on the bottom left of any check you write, or in the account details section of your bank's online portal.
How to locate the number once you are logged into your bank
Once you log into your actual bank's website or app, look for a section called "Account Details," "Account Information," or "My Accounts." Most banks display your account number prominently on the main dashboard after you sign in. Some banks require you to click on a specific account tile or card to see the full number.
If you cannot find it on the main screen, check the account settings or profile section. Many banks also let you view your account number by downloading a statement or requesting a verification letter. Your bank's customer service phone number is on your debit card or bank statements if you need help locating it.
Why you might be looking for this number
People usually need their checking account number to set up direct deposit for paychecks, arrange automatic bill payments, or provide banking details to another institution. You will also need it if you are transferring money between your own accounts at different banks, or if you are receiving a wire transfer from someone else.
Your account number is safe to share with your employer, your bank, or trusted financial institutions. However, do not share it with people you do not know or on unsecured websites. Scammers sometimes pose as banks and ask for account numbers over email or phone — legitimate banks will never ask you to confirm your full account number this way.
What if you cannot remember your bank's name
If you have a debit card, the bank's name is printed on the front. If you have recent bank statements, the name and website appear at the top. You can also check your email for messages from your bank — banks send statements, alerts, and promotional emails regularly, and these messages show the sender's name and contact information.
If you opened the account years ago and have lost track, call the phone number on the back of your debit card. That number connects you to your bank's customer service, and they can confirm your account details and help you log in if you have forgotten your password.
Distinguishing between your bank and State Farm
State Farm offers auto insurance, home insurance, life insurance, and other insurance products. Some State Farm customers also have banking relationships with other companies, and this can create confusion. Your State Farm insurance policy has a policy number, not a checking account number. Your checking account has an account number, and it belongs to your bank, not to State Farm.
If you are trying to set up automatic payments from your checking account to pay a State Farm insurance premium, you will need your bank's account number and routing number. You will enter these details into State Farm's payment system, but State Farm is not the institution holding the account — your bank is.
