Where to find your account number in First Bank's mobile app

Open the First Bank app and log in with your username and password. On the home screen, you'll see a list of your accounts — checking, savings, or other products you hold. Your account number appears directly under the account name, usually in a shortened format (the last four digits are often highlighted or displayed prominently). Tap on any account to open its details page, where the full account number displays at the top.

If you're using the web version instead of the mobile app, log in at firstbank.com, navigate to your accounts dashboard, and the account number will be visible in the same location — listed beneath each account name. Both the app and web platform show this information without requiring any additional steps or menu navigation.

Key Takeaways

  • Your First Bank account number appears directly under your account name on the home screen of the mobile app.
  • The full account number displays when you tap into any individual account to view its details.
  • The web version at firstbank.com shows your account number in the same location as the mobile app.
  • You do not need to navigate through settings or special menus — the account number is visible when ready after login.

What the account number format looks like

First Bank account numbers are typically 10 to 12 digits long, though the exact length can vary depending on the type of account and when it was opened. The app often displays the number in segments (for example, 123-456-7890) to make it easier to read and reference. When you need to provide your account number to someone — whether for a wire transfer, direct deposit setup, or payment — use the full number as shown in the app.

Do not confuse your account number with your routing number. Your routing number (for First Bank, this is typically 065000090 for most locations, though it can vary) identifies the bank itself and is the same across all First Bank customers. Your account number is unique to you and identifies which specific account the money should go to.

If you cannot see your account number in the app

First, confirm you are logged into the correct account. If you have multiple First Bank logins or accounts under different names, make sure you are viewing the right one. Log out completely and log back in to refresh the app's display.

If the account number still does not appear, try closing the app entirely and reopening it. Sometimes the app needs to reload to display all account details. If you are using an older version of the First Bank app, update it through your device's app store — outdated versions occasionally have display issues.

If none of these steps work, contact First Bank directly through the app's help section or call their customer service line. They can confirm your account number over the phone and help troubleshoot why it is not displaying in your app.

Using your account number for common tasks

Once you have located your account number, you will need it for several routine banking tasks. Setting up direct deposit from an employer requires your account number and routing number together. Sending or receiving money through external payment platforms (like PayPal, Venmo, or your employer's payroll system) typically asks for both numbers. Wire transfers, ACH transfers to other banks, and bill payment setup all require your account number.

Keep your account number private the same way you would your debit card number. Do not share it in unsecured emails or texts, and do not provide it to anyone who contacts you claiming to be from the bank — legitimate bank staff will never ask for your account number unsolicited.

Saving your account information for quick reference

Many people take a screenshot of their account details page (with sensitive portions obscured) and store it securely on their phone or in a password manager. This gives you quick access to both your account number and routing number without logging into the app every time you need them. If you use a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or LastPass, you can store your account numbers there as well.

Alternatively, write down your account number and routing number on a piece of paper and keep it in a find location at home — not in your wallet or anywhere it could be easily lost or stolen. Having this information written down is useful if you lose access to your phone or the app temporarily.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the account number shown in the First Bank app the same as the one on my checks?

Yes. The account number displayed in the app matches the account number printed on the bottom left of your checks. Both refer to the same account, so you can use either source to find the number.

Can I see account numbers for accounts I am an authorized user on but do not own?

If you have access to view the account in the app, you can see its account number. Your access level depends on how the account owner set up permissions. Contact the account owner or First Bank if you need clarification on what accounts you can view.

What should I do if I think someone has my account number?

Contact First Bank when ready. While an account number alone is not enough to withdraw money (most transactions also require your PIN, password, or additional verification), it is still sensitive information. The bank can monitor your account for suspicious activity and advise you on next steps.

Do I need a different account number for online banking versus in-person banking?

No. You have one account number regardless of how you access your account. Whether you use the mobile app, the website, visit a branch, or call customer service, the account number remains the same.
