Your account number appears in multiple places on your Chase account
Your Chase checking account number is a 10-digit code that identifies your specific account. You can find it on a paper check, in the Chase mobile app, on your online banking dashboard, or by calling Chase directly. The fastest way is usually the mobile app or your online account — both show it in seconds without waiting on hold.
Chase uses this number when you need to set up direct deposit, receive wire transfers, or give payment details to someone who needs to withdraw money from your account. It is different from your routing number (which identifies Chase as your bank) and your card number (which is only for your debit or credit card).
Key Takeaways
- Your account number is a 10-digit code visible on the bottom left of any paper check you have.
- The Chase mobile app shows your account number on the account details screen, usually under your account name.
- Chase.com displays your account number in the account information section when you log in online.
- You can call Chase at the number on the back of your debit card and ask a representative to read it to you over the phone.
- Never share your full account number with anyone you do not trust, as it can be used to withdraw money from your account.
Finding your account number on a paper check
If you have a checkbook, the easiest way to find your account number is to look at any check. At the bottom of the check, you will see three sets of numbers separated by colons or vertical lines. The middle set is your account number.
The format looks like this: [routing number] : [account number] : [check number]. Your account number is always 10 digits. If you do not have checks or cannot find them, the other methods below will work just as well.
Viewing your account number in the Chase mobile app
Open the Chase mobile app and log in with your username and password. Tap on the checking account you want to view. On the account details screen, you will see your account name and balance. Look for a section labeled "Account Details," "Account Information," or "Account Number" — the exact wording varies slightly depending on your phone type.
Tap that section and your 10-digit account number will appear. You can take a screenshot or write it down. The app also shows your routing number in the same location if you need both numbers at once.
Finding your account number on Chase.com
Go to Chase.com and log in with your username and password. Once you are logged in, look for your checking account in the list of accounts on your dashboard. Click on the account name or the "Details" link next to it.
A new screen will open showing your account information. Your 10-digit account number will be displayed here, usually near your account name and current balance. You can copy it directly from the screen or write it down. Some versions of the website also show your routing number on the same page.
Calling Chase to get your account number
If you prefer to speak with someone, call the number on the back of your Chase debit card. A representative will ask you to verify your identity by providing your Social Security number, date of birth, or answers to security questions. Once verified, they can read your account number to you over the phone.
Wait times vary depending on the time of day and how busy Chase is. Calling during off-peak hours — early morning or late evening — usually means shorter waits. Have a pen and paper ready so you can write down the number as the representative reads it.
What to do if you cannot find your account number
If none of the above methods work, the fastest option is to visit a Chase branch in person. Bring a government-issued ID and ask a teller to provide your account number. They can print it for you or write it on a piece of paper.
You can also contact Chase through their website's find message system if you are logged into your online account. Send a message asking for your account number, and a representative will respond within one business day. This method creates a record of your request in your account.
Keeping your account number safe
Your account number is sensitive information. Anyone with your account number and routing number can set up automatic withdrawals from your account, so do not share it with people you do not trust. When you give it to legitimate businesses — like your employer for direct deposit or a utility company for automatic payments — make sure you are dealing with the real company, not a scam.
If you think someone has your account number and may use it without permission, contact Chase when ready. You can call the number on the back of your debit card or log into your account online and use the find message system. Chase can monitor your account and help you if unauthorized withdrawals occur.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my debit card number?
No. Your account number is a 10-digit code that identifies your checking account at Chase. Your debit card number is a 16-digit code printed on the front of your card. They are separate numbers used for different purposes.
Can I use my account number to make purchases online?
No. Your account number is for bank transfers, direct deposit, and automatic bill payments — not for shopping. Online purchases require your debit card number, expiration date, and CVV code. Never give your account number to a website asking for payment.
What is the difference between my account number and routing number?
Your routing number identifies Chase Bank as your financial institution and is the same for all Chase customers in your region. Your account number identifies your specific checking account. You need both numbers together to set up direct deposit or wire transfers.
Will my account number change if I close my checking account?
Once you close an account, that account number is retired and cannot be used again. If you open a new Chase checking account later, you will receive a new account number.
Can I see my account number on my monthly statement?
Yes. Your monthly statement from Chase lists your account number at the top or in the account information section. You can find it on paper statements mailed to you or on statements you view online through your Chase account.
