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

Your Chase account number is a unique identifier for your specific bank account. You can find it in four places without calling Chase or visiting a branch: on the front or back of your debit card, on any checks you have, in your online banking dashboard, or in the Chase mobile app.

The fastest route is usually your debit card or the Chase app. If you do not have either one yet, your welcome materials from Chase will include it — look for a letter that arrived when you opened the account.

Key Takeaways

  • Your account number appears on your debit card (usually on the front), on any checks you order, and in your Chase online account.
  • The Chase mobile app shows your account number in the account details section without requiring a phone call.
  • If you have multiple accounts with Chase, each one has its own separate account number.
  • Your account number is different from your routing number, which you may also need for wire transfers or direct deposit.

Finding your account number on your debit card

Look at the front of your Chase debit card. You will see a long number printed across the middle — that is your card number, not your account number. Your account number is usually printed below the card number, often in smaller text. It is typically 10 to 12 digits long.

Some Chase debit cards print the account number on the back instead. If you cannot find it on the front, flip the card over and check the back side. The account number will be grouped separately from the card number, not mixed in with the CVV security code.

Checking your Chase online account or mobile app

Log into your Chase account at chase.com or open the Chase mobile app on your phone. Once you are logged in, select the account you need the number for — if you have a checking account and a savings account, each one has its own number.

In the online version, click on "Account Details" or look for a section labeled "Account Information." The account number will be displayed there. In the mobile app, tap the account name at the top of the screen, then look for "Account Details" or a settings icon. Your account number will appear in that section.

Looking at your checks

If you ordered checks from Chase, your account number is printed on the bottom left of each check. You will see three groups of numbers at the bottom: the routing number (first group), your account number (middle group), and the check number (last group on the right).

The account number on your checks is the same as the one on your debit card and in your online account. If you have not ordered checks yet, you do not need to — your debit card or online account will give you the number faster.

Finding your routing number if you need it too

Your routing number is different from your account number. The routing number identifies Chase as your bank; your account number identifies your specific account. You may need both for direct deposit, wire transfers, or setting up automatic payments.

Your routing number is also on your checks (the first group of numbers at the bottom) and in your online account details. Chase routing numbers vary by state and account type, so do not assume you know it — look it up in your account details or on your checks to be certain.

What to do if you cannot find your account number

If you do not have a debit card yet, do not have checks, and cannot access your online account, you can contact Chase directly. Call the number on the back of any Chase card you have, or visit a Chase branch in person with your ID. A representative can give you your account number over the phone or in the branch.

If you are locked out of your online account, use the "Forgot Password" or "Forgot Username" link on the Chase login page to regain access. Once you are back in, your account number will be visible in your account details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my card number?

No. Your card number is the 16-digit number on the front of your debit card. Your account number is shorter (usually 10 to 12 digits) and appears separately on the card, on your checks, or in your online account. They are two different numbers.

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

No. You only need your card number, expiration date, and CVV to make purchases or pay online. Your account number is used for things like setting up direct deposit, receiving wire transfers, or paying bills by check.

What if I have multiple Chase accounts?

Each account has its own account number. When you log into your online account, you can see all your accounts listed. Click on each one to see its specific account number. Make sure you are using the correct account number for the transaction you are making.

Can I change my account number?

No. Your account number is permanent and tied to your account. If you close the account and open a new one, you will receive a new account number, but you cannot change the number on an existing account.

Is it safe to share my account number?

Your account number alone cannot be used to withdraw money or make purchases — it is not the same as your card number or online banking password. It is safe to share your account number when you need to receive a direct deposit, a wire transfer, or a check payment. Never share your full online banking login, card number, or PIN.
