Your account number is on your debit card, checks, and online
Your Chase checking account number appears in three places you can reach right now: the bottom left of your debit card, the bottom left of any check you have, or your Chase online banking portal. The fastest route is your debit card—the 10-digit number printed there is your account number. If you do not have your card with you, log into Chase.com or the Chase Mobile app and look at your account details.
The account number is different from your routing number (which tells banks where your account lives) and your card number (which is the 16 digits on the front of your debit card). You need the account number when you set up direct deposit, arrange wire transfers, or give payment details to a third party.
Key Takeaways
- Your Chase checking account number is a 10-digit code printed on the bottom left of your debit card and any checks you have.
- You can also find it by logging into Chase.com or the Chase Mobile app and viewing your account details.
- The account number is separate from your routing number and your card number, and you will need it for direct deposit and wire transfers.
- If you have lost your debit card and do not have checks, the online portal is the fastest way to locate your account number without calling.
Finding it on your debit card
Look at the bottom left corner of your Chase debit card. You will see a series of numbers printed there. The first set is your routing number (usually nine digits), and the second set is your account number (10 digits). The account number comes after a colon or space, depending on your card design.
This is the simplest method if your card is in your wallet. The number does not change when you get a replacement card, so even if your card is expired or damaged, the account number printed on it is still valid.
Finding it on a check
If you have a checkbook, open it and look at the bottom of any check. You will see three groups of numbers. The first group (nine digits) is your routing number. The second group (10 digits) is your account number. The third group is the check number itself. The account number is always in the middle position.
Checks are reliable because the account number never changes, even if you order new checks years later. If you have not used checks in a while, they are still valid for this purpose.
Finding it in Chase online banking
Log into Chase.com using your username and password, or open the Chase Mobile app. Once you are signed in, select the checking account you want information about. On the account overview page, look for a section labeled "Account Details," "Account Information," or "Account Number." Click or tap it to reveal your full account number.
Some versions of the Chase app show the account number directly on the account tile without requiring an extra click. If you do not see it when ready, scroll down on the account page or look for a menu icon (three horizontal lines) that opens more options. This method works even if you have lost your debit card or checks.
What to do if you cannot find it
If you do not have your debit card, checks, or access to online banking, you can call Chase customer service at the number on the back of any Chase card or statement. Have your Social Security number and photo ID ready. A representative can read your account number to you over the phone, though this takes longer than the self-service methods above.
If you have forgotten your online banking password, use the "Forgot Password" link on Chase.com to reset it. This usually takes a few minutes and gets you access to your account number without a phone call.
Account number versus routing number
These two numbers work together but serve different purposes. Your routing number identifies which Chase branch or processing center handles your account—it is the same for all Chase customers in your region. Your account number identifies your specific account within that branch. When you set up direct deposit or a wire transfer, you need both numbers, but they go in different fields.
The routing number for Chase varies by state and account type. Your account number never changes, even if you move or switch account types. If you are unsure which routing number applies to you, Chase.com has a routing number lookup tool, or you can ask your employer or the organization requesting the information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my debit card number?
No. Your debit card number is the 16 digits on the front of your card. Your account number is the 10 digits on the bottom left. They are linked to the same account, but they are different numbers used for different purposes.
Will my account number change if I get a new debit card?
No. Your account number stays the same for the life of your account. When you receive a replacement card, the new card will have the same account number printed on it.
Can I see my account number in the Chase Mobile app?
Yes. Open the app, sign in, select your checking account, and tap "Account Details" or look for the account information section. The full account number will display there. Some versions show it directly on the account tile.
What if I need my account number but I am not home?
Log into Chase.com or the Chase Mobile app from any device with internet access. Your account number appears in your account details within seconds. This is faster than calling customer service.
Do I need both my account number and routing number for direct deposit?
Yes. Direct deposit forms require both numbers. Your routing number tells the employer's bank where to send the money, and your account number tells Chase which account to deposit it into. Both are printed on the bottom of your checks and debit card.
