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

Your Chase account number is a 10-digit code that identifies your specific checking or savings account. You can find it in four places without calling the bank: on the front of your debit card, on the bottom left of any check you have, in the Chase mobile app, or by logging into Chase.com.

The fastest route is your debit card. Look at the raised numbers on the front — the longest number is your card number, but below it you'll see a shorter set of digits. That shorter number is your account number. If you don't have your card handy, any check from that account will show it at the bottom in the same position.

If you've lost your card and don't have checks, you can log into your Chase account online or open the Chase mobile app. Once you're signed in, your account number appears on the main dashboard or in the account details section — the exact location depends on which version of the app you're using, but it's always visible without needing to request it.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Chase account number is a 10-digit code printed on your debit card, checks, and visible in your online account.
  • The quickest way to find it is to look at the numbers on the front of your debit card — the account number is the shorter set below the main card number.
  • You can also find your account number by logging into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app without contacting customer service.
  • Your account number is different from your routing number, which you may need for wire transfers or setting up direct deposit.

Finding your account number on your debit card

The front of your Chase debit card shows two sets of numbers. The long number embossed across the middle is your card number — that's what you use to make purchases. Below that number, usually in smaller print, is your account number. It's always 10 digits for Chase checking and savings accounts.

This is the fastest way to find your account number if you have your card with you. You don't need to log in, call anyone, or wait for anything. Just look at the card itself.

Locating your account number on a check

If you have checks from your Chase account, the account number is printed at the bottom of the check in the second set of numbers. The format at the bottom of a check is always: routing number, then account number, then check number. Your account number will be 10 digits.

You only need one check to find this information — you don't have to use it or deposit it. If you have an old check from years ago, it will still show the same account number as long as the account is still open.

Viewing your account number online or in the app

Log into Chase.com with your username and password. Once you're signed in, your account number is displayed on the main dashboard under your account name. You may need to click on the specific account if you have multiple accounts with Chase.

The Chase mobile app shows your account number in the same place. Open the app, sign in, and look at the main account view — your account number appears there without any extra steps. If you can't find it when ready, tap on the account name or settings icon to see more details.

This method works even if you don't have your debit card or checks available. As long as you can remember your login information, you can see your account number anytime.

The difference between account number and routing number

Your account number and routing number are two different things, and you may need both depending on what you're doing. Your account number identifies your specific account — the one we've been discussing. Your routing number identifies Chase as your bank and the specific branch where your account is held.

For most everyday banking, you only need your account number. But if you're setting up direct deposit, making a wire transfer, or having someone send you money through ACH (a bank-to-bank transfer), you'll need both numbers. Chase's routing number for most accounts is 021000021, but it can vary depending on which state your account was opened in, so it's worth confirming with the bank if you're doing a wire transfer.

What to do if you can't find your account number

If you don't have your card, checks, or access to your online account, you can call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card, or visit a Chase branch in person. A representative can tell you your account number over the phone or in the branch — you'll need to verify your identity first, usually with your Social Security number and date of birth.

Visiting a branch is often faster than calling if there's a location near you, because you can show your ID in person and get the information when ready. If you call, wait times vary depending on the time of day and how busy the bank is.

Why you might need your account number

You'll need your account number when you set up direct deposit for a paycheck, arrange for automatic bill payments, or receive a wire transfer from someone else. You may also need it if you're opening a linked account at another bank, or if you're troubleshooting a transaction and need to give customer service a specific reference.

Some online services ask for your account number as part of verification when you're signing up for a new feature or confirming your identity. Having it written down somewhere safe can save you time when these situations come up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my card number?

No. Your card number is the long number on the front of your debit card. Your account number is a separate 10-digit code printed below it. You use your card number for purchases; you use your account number for bank transfers and direct deposit.

Can I find my account number without logging in?

Yes. Your account number is on your debit card and on any checks from that account. If you have either of those, you don't need to log in or call anyone.

What if I have multiple Chase accounts?

Each account has its own 10-digit account number. When you log into Chase online or open the app, you'll see all your accounts listed separately, and each one shows its own account number. Make sure you're looking at the right account before you use the number.

Is it safe to share my account number?

Your account number alone cannot be used to withdraw money from your account — someone would also need your routing number and your permission through your bank. It's safe to give your account number to your employer for direct deposit, to another bank for transfers, or to someone sending you money. Do not share it with anyone asking for it unexpectedly or claiming to be from your bank.
