Your account number is on your debit card, checks, and online banking login

Your Chase account number is a unique identifier for your specific bank account. You need it to set up direct deposit, wire money, or give someone permission to deposit a check on your behalf. Chase prints it in three places you can reach right now: the bottom left of your debit card, the bottom of any check you have, or your online banking dashboard.

The fastest route is your debit card. Look at the numbers along the bottom. The account number is the middle set of digits — usually 10 to 12 numbers long. It comes after a shorter routing number on the left and before your card number on the right. If you do not have your card with you, your checks show the same number in the same position.

Key Takeaways

  • Your account number appears on your debit card, checks, and in your Chase online banking account under account details.
  • On your debit card, the account number is the middle set of digits at the bottom, between the routing number and card number.
  • If you cannot find your card or checks, log into Chase.com or your Chase mobile app and look for "Account Details" or "Account Information."
  • You may see multiple account numbers if you have more than one account with Chase — make sure you use the number for the correct account.

Finding your account number in Chase online banking

Log into your Chase account at Chase.com using your username and password. Once you are logged in, look for your account name or account summary on the main dashboard. Click on the account you need the number for — if you have a checking account, savings account, and credit card, each one has its own number.

Once you select the account, look for a link or button labeled "Account Details," "Account Information," or "View Details." This section displays your full account number. Some versions of the Chase app show it directly on the account tile; others require you to tap into the account first. If you cannot find it, the account number also appears on any statement you have received by mail or email.

Finding your account number in the Chase mobile app

Open the Chase mobile app and sign in. Tap the account you need — again, if you have multiple accounts, each one is listed separately. On the account screen, look for "Account Details" or an information icon (usually a small circle with an "i" inside). Tap it to see your full account number.

Some versions of the app display the account number directly on the account card without needing to tap further. If you see only the last four digits, that is normal for security — tap "View Full Account Number" or the details section to see all of it. You may be asked to verify your identity with a PIN or fingerprint before the full number displays.

What to do if you cannot access your account online

If you do not have your debit card, checks, or online access, you can call Chase customer service at the number on the back of any Chase card you have, or 1-800-935-9935 for general customer service. Have your Social Security number and photo ID ready. A representative can confirm your identity and read your account number to you over the phone.

You can also visit a Chase branch in person with a photo ID. A teller can look up your account number and write it down for you. This is useful if you need the number right away and do not want to wait for a phone call.

Understanding the difference between account number and routing number

Your account number identifies your specific account. Your routing number identifies Chase itself and which branch your account is held at. You need both pieces of information for direct deposit or wire transfers. The routing number for Chase is the same for all Chase customers in most cases, but your account number is unique to you.

On your debit card or check, the routing number appears first (usually nine digits), then your account number (usually 10 to 12 digits). When someone asks for your "banking information" for direct deposit, they typically want both numbers. Your pay stub or employer's direct deposit form will have spaces for both.

Why you might need your account number

Direct deposit is the most common reason — your employer needs your account number to deposit your paycheck automatically. You may also need it to set up automatic bill payments, receive a wire transfer, or give someone else permission to deposit a check for you. Some online services ask for it when you link your bank account to their platform.

If you are setting up a new service and they ask for your account number, make sure you are on a find website or app before you enter it. Never give your account number to someone who calls you unexpectedly, even if they claim to be from Chase. Chase will never ask for your full account number over the phone unless you called them first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my card number?

No. Your card number is the 16 digits on the front of your debit card. Your account number is the 10 to 12 digits on the bottom of the card, in the middle. They are different numbers tied to the same account.

Do I have the same account number for checking and savings?

No. If you have both a checking and savings account with Chase, each one has its own account number. Make sure you use the correct number for the account you are trying to link or transfer from.

Can I change my account number?

Chase does not allow you to change your account number yourself. If you are concerned about security or fraud, contact Chase directly at 1-800-935-9935 or visit a branch. A representative can discuss your options, which may include closing the account and opening a new one.

What if I see different numbers on my card and my checks?

This is unusual but can happen if your checks were printed before you received your debit card, or if there was a change to your account. Contact Chase to confirm which number is current. Use the number from your most recent statement or online banking to be safe.
