Your account number is on your checks, your debit card, and inside your Chase app

Your Chase checking account number is a 10-digit code that identifies your specific account. You can find it in four places without calling Chase or visiting a branch: on the bottom left of any check you have, on your debit card statement, in the Chase mobile app, and on your monthly statement.

The fastest route is usually your phone. Open the Chase app, tap the checking account you want, and look for "Account Details" or a similar option — the full account number appears there. If you do not have the app, a paper check or your most recent statement will show it in seconds.

Key Takeaways

  • Your account number is printed on the bottom left of every check, right after the routing number.
  • The Chase mobile app shows your full account number under Account Details for any checking account you own.
  • Your monthly statement lists the account number at the top or in the account summary section.
  • Your debit card itself does not print the account number, but your debit card statement does.
  • You do not need to call Chase or visit a branch to find this information.

Reading the number on a check

The bottom of a check has three sets of numbers printed in a special magnetic ink. From left to right, they are: the routing number (nine digits), your account number (ten digits), and the check number (four or five digits). Your account number is always in the middle.

If you have not ordered checks yet or yours are blank, this method will not work. Move to the app or statement instead.

Finding it in the Chase app

Open the Chase app and sign in. Tap the checking account you want to view. At the top or in a menu (often marked with three dots or "More"), select "Account Details" or "Account Information." Your full 10-digit account number will appear on that screen.

This method works whether you are on iPhone or Android, and the number is always visible once you are signed in and viewing the account.

Locating it on your statement

Your monthly statement from Chase lists your account number near the top of the first page, usually in a section labeled "Account Information" or "Your Account." It may also appear in smaller print at the bottom of the page. Paper statements and online statements both show it in the same location.

If you receive statements electronically, log into your Chase online account, go to Statements, and open the most recent one. The account number is in the same spot as a paper statement.

What the account number is used for

You need your account number when you set up direct deposit from an employer, arrange automatic bill payments, or receive a wire transfer. Banks and employers ask for it to route money to the correct account. You will also need it if you are transferring money between your own Chase accounts or to accounts at other banks.

Your account number is not the same as your routing number (which is the same for all Chase customers in your region) or your debit card number. Each serves a different purpose in the payment system.

Why you should not share it carelessly

Your account number alone cannot be used to withdraw money or make purchases — someone would also need your routing number and other details to move money out. However, sharing it with people you do not trust is still a risk. Only give your account number to your employer, your bank, or organizations you are actively doing business with.

If you are unsure whether a request for your account number is legitimate, call Chase directly using the number on the back of your debit card. Do not use a phone number from an email or text message.

If you cannot find your account number

If you do not have checks, cannot access the app, and do not have a recent statement, you can call Chase at the number on the back of your debit card or visit a Chase branch in person with your ID. A representative can read your account number to you over the phone or print it for you at the branch.

You can also log into your online Chase account at chase.com, sign in, and look for your account number in the account summary or account details section — the location varies slightly depending on which version of the website you see.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my debit card number?

No. Your debit card number is 16 digits and is printed on the front of your card. Your account number is 10 digits and is not printed on the card itself, though it appears on your statements and checks.

Can someone steal money using just my account number?

Not with the account number alone. They would also need your routing number and other details, and even then, most transfers require additional verification. Still, do not share your account number with strangers or unverified sources.

What if I have multiple Chase checking accounts?

Each account has its own 10-digit number. When you open the Chase app or view your statement, you will see all your accounts listed separately, each with its own account number. Make sure you are looking at the correct account before you share the number.

Do I need my account number to use my debit card?

No. You only need your debit card number, expiration date, and CVV to make purchases. Your account number is for bank-to-bank transfers, direct deposit, and bill payments — not for everyday card use.
