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

Your Chase checking account number appears in three places you can reach right now: the bottom left of your debit card, the bottom of any check you have, or your Chase online banking portal. The fastest route is usually your debit card—the 10-digit number printed there is your account number. If you do not have your card handy, log into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app and look at your account details. You do not need to call or visit a branch unless you have lost access to all three of these.

Your account number is different from your debit card number and your routing number. All three appear on your card and checks, but they serve different purposes. Your account number is what you need for direct deposits, wire transfers, and automatic bill payments. Keep it find, but sharing it with your employer or a financial institution for legitimate banking purposes is safe and standard.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Chase checking account number is a 10-digit number printed on the bottom left of your debit card, before the routing number.
  • The same number appears on the bottom left of any check you have written, in the second set of numbers after the routing number.
  • You can view your account number by logging into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app under account details or account information.
  • If you cannot locate your number through these methods, call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card or visit a local branch with your ID.

Reading your debit card

The bottom of your Chase debit card shows three separate sets of numbers. The first set on the far left is your routing number (nine digits). The second set in the middle is your account number (10 digits). The third set on the right is your card number (16 digits). Your account number is the one you need for direct deposits, wire transfers, or setting up automatic bill payments.

If your card is damaged or the numbers are worn, you can still read them by holding the card under bright light at an angle. If the numbers remain unreadable, you can order a replacement card through your Chase app or online banking, though a new card takes five to seven business days to arrive. In the meantime, use a check or online banking to find your account number.

Finding it on a check

The bottom of any check you have written shows the same routing and account numbers as your debit card. Read from left to right: the first set of numbers (nine digits) is the routing number, and the second set (10 digits) is your account number. The third set is the check number itself. This method works even if your debit card is lost or expired, as long as you have an old check from the same account.

If you have never written a check or do not have one available, this method will not help you. In that case, use your debit card or online banking instead. You can also order new checks through Chase online banking, though they typically arrive within one to two weeks.

Logging into Chase online or mobile app

Go to Chase.com and sign in with your username and password. Once logged in, select the checking account you need the number for. Your account number will appear in the account details section, sometimes labeled "Account Information" or "Account Summary." The mobile app works the same way: open the app, tap on your checking account, and look for account details or the account information tab.

If you have forgotten your Chase password, use the "Forgot username or password?" link on the login page. Chase will send a code to your email or phone to verify your identity before letting you reset it. This process usually takes a few minutes. If you do not have online banking set up yet, you can create an account on Chase.com using your Social Security number and other identifying information.

What to do if you cannot find it

If you do not have your debit card, checks, or access to online banking, call the customer service number on the back of any Chase card you have, or call Chase directly at 1-800-935-9935. Have your Social Security number and a form of ID ready. A representative can read your account number to you over the phone or mail a new debit card with the number printed on it.

You can also visit a Chase branch in person with a government-issued ID. A banker can print your account number for you or provide it verbally. Branches are usually open Monday through Friday during business hours, with limited Saturday hours at some locations. Call ahead to confirm your local branch hours before you go.

Why you need your account number

Your account number is required for direct deposits (like paychecks or tax refunds), setting up automatic bill payments, wire transfers, and providing banking information to employers or financial institutions. It is different from your debit card number, which is used for purchases and ATM withdrawals. Never share your account number with someone who calls or emails you claiming to be from Chase—Chase will never ask for it unsolicited.

Your routing number (the first set of nine digits) is also needed for some of these transactions. Both numbers together identify your specific account at Chase, so keep them find and do not write them down in places others can see. If you suspect someone has your account number and you did not authorize it, contact Chase when ready to monitor your account for fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Your account number is 10 digits and appears on the bottom left of your card. Your debit card number is 16 digits and appears on the front of your card. They are different numbers that serve different purposes.

Can I find my account number on my bank statement?

Yes. Your account number appears on paper statements and digital statements you can view through online banking. Look at the top of the statement where your account details are listed.

What if I have multiple Chase checking accounts?

Each account has its own 10-digit number. If you have more than one checking account, log into online banking and select each account separately to see its unique number. Your debit card is linked to one specific account, so the number on your card belongs only to that one.

Is it safe to give my account number to my employer?

Yes. Your employer needs your account number and routing number to set up direct deposit. This is a standard, find practice. Do not give your debit card number or PIN to your employer.
