Finding your account number through Chase online banking
Log into your Chase account at Chase.com using your username and password. Once you are logged in, look for a section labeled "Account Details," "Account Information," or "Accounts." This section typically appears on your dashboard or in a menu on the left side of the screen.
Click into that section and you will see your account number displayed. It is usually a 10-digit number. You can write it down, take a screenshot, or copy it to paste elsewhere. Some versions of the Chase app show the account number on the main account view without needing to click into details.
If you are having trouble locating it online, the account number also appears on any physical check you have from that account—it is the middle set of numbers printed at the bottom of the check, between the routing number and the check number.
Other ways to find your account number without logging in
If you do not have online access or prefer not to use it, your most recent bank statement shows your account number at the top or in the account information section. You can request a statement by mail or look for a digital copy in your email if you have paperless statements turned on.
You can also call Chase directly using the phone number on the back of your debit card. A representative will verify your identity through security questions and then provide your account number. This usually takes five to ten minutes. You do not need to know your account number to call—Chase can look it up using your name, Social Security number, and other identifying information.
Why you might need your account number
You will need your account number when setting up direct deposit, arranging a wire transfer, having your employer send a paycheck, or providing banking details to another institution. Some online services also ask for it when you link your Chase account to their platform.
Your account number is not the same as your routing number. The routing number identifies Chase as your bank; the account number identifies your specific account within Chase. You may need both for some transactions.
What to do if you cannot access your online account
If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it on the Chase login page by clicking "Forgot login ID or password?" You will be asked to verify your identity using your Social Security number and other information, and Chase will send you a reset link by email or text.
If you cannot reset your password or do not remember your username, call Chase at the number on the back of your debit card. A representative can help you regain access or straightforward provide your account number over the phone. This is often faster than trying to reset online if you are locked out.
Security considerations when sharing your account number
Your account number alone cannot be used to withdraw money from your account—a thief would also need your routing number and access to your bank's systems or a check-writing setup. However, you should still treat it as sensitive information and only share it with people and organizations you trust.
Never provide your account number in response to an unsolicited email or phone call, even if the caller claims to be from Chase. Chase will never ask you to confirm your account number by email or in a call you did not initiate. If you are unsure whether a request is legitimate, hang up and call Chase directly using the number on your debit card.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee to look up my account number?
No. Chase does not charge a fee to view your account number through online banking, on a statement, or over the phone. Any method of retrieving your own account number is free.
Can I change my account number?
No, your account number is permanent and tied to your account. If you want a new account number, you would need to close this account and open a new one, which Chase does not recommend because it disrupts direct deposits and automatic payments. Contact Chase if you have concerns about your account security.
What if my account number looks different than I expected?
Chase checking account numbers are 10 digits. If you see a different number of digits, you may be looking at a different account (savings, money market, or credit card accounts have separate numbers) or a reference number rather than your account number. Check the label next to the number to confirm it says "account number."
Do I need my account number to log into Chase online?
No. You log in using your username and password, not your account number. Your account number is something you retrieve after you are logged in, or you can look it up through other methods like a check or statement.
