Your account number is on your debit card, checks, and online banking
Your Chase checking account number is a 10-digit code that identifies your specific account. You can find it in four places without calling Chase: on the front of your debit card, on any check you have, in the Chase mobile app, or on the Chase website after you log in.
The fastest route is your debit card. Look at the long number on the front—that is your card number, not your account number. Below it, usually in smaller print, is a shorter number: that is your account number. It will be 10 digits.
If you do not have your card with you, a check works just as well. The account number appears twice on a check: once in the bottom left corner in the first set of numbers, and again at the end of the bottom line after the routing number. Both are the same 10-digit code.
Key Takeaways
- Your Chase checking account number is 10 digits and appears on your debit card below the card number in smaller print.
- Checks display your account number twice: in the bottom left corner and at the end of the bottom line after the routing number.
- You can view your account number in the Chase mobile app under account details or on Chase.com after logging in.
- Your account number is different from your card number and your routing number—each serves a different purpose in payments and transfers.
Finding it on your debit card
The front of your Chase debit card shows two numbers: the 16-digit card number across the middle, and your 10-digit account number below it in smaller text. The account number is what you need when setting up direct deposit, wire transfers, or giving payment details to another person or business.
If your card is lost or expired and you have ordered a replacement, your account number does not change. The new card will have the same account number printed on it. You do not need to wait for the new card to find your number—use one of the other methods below.
Finding it on a check
Open your checkbook and look at the bottom of any check. You will see three sets of numbers separated by vertical lines. The first set on the left is your routing number (nine digits). The middle set is your account number (10 digits). The last set on the right is the check number.
The account number also appears in the bottom left corner of the check in a different format, but the middle set at the bottom is the standard way to read it. If you have not ordered checks yet or yours are running low, this method will not work—move to the online options instead.
Finding it in the Chase mobile app
Open the Chase mobile app and log in with your username and password. Tap the account you want to view. On the account summary screen, look for "Account Details" or "Account Information"—the exact label varies by phone type. Tap it, and your full 10-digit account number will display.
The app also shows your routing number on the same screen. Write both down or take a screenshot if you need them for a wire transfer or direct deposit form. The account number in the app is always current, even if you have a pending card replacement or recent account changes.
Finding it on Chase.com
Go to Chase.com and log in with your username and password. Click on the checking account you want to view. Look for a link or button labeled "Account Details," "Account Information," or "View Account Details"—it is usually near the top of the account page or in a menu marked with three dots or lines.
Click it, and your account number will display alongside your routing number and other account information. You can copy it directly from the page or take a screenshot. This method works on any device with internet access and does not require the mobile app.
The difference between account number, card number, and routing number
These three numbers are straightforward to confuse because they all appear on your card or checks, but they serve different purposes. Your card number is the 16-digit number on the front of your debit card—use it for in-person purchases, online shopping, and ATM withdrawals. Your account number is the 10-digit code—use it for direct deposit, wire transfers, and when another person or business needs to send money to your account.
Your routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies Chase as your bank. When someone sends you a wire transfer or sets up a payment to your account, they need both your routing number and your account number. Your card number is never needed for these transfers—it is only for spending money out of the account.
If you give someone only your card number, they cannot transfer money into your account. If you give them only your account number without the routing number, the transfer will fail. Always provide both the account number and routing number together when someone asks for bank details.
What to do if you cannot find your account number
If you have no debit card, no checks, and cannot access the Chase app or website, you can call Chase customer service at the number on the back of any Chase card or statement. Have your Social Security number and a form of ID ready. A representative can read your account number to you over the phone, though this takes longer than the self-service methods above.
You can also visit a Chase branch in person with a photo ID. A teller can print your account number and routing number on a piece of paper for you. This is useful if you need the information when ready and do not have online access at home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my card number?
No. Your card number is 16 digits and appears on the front of your debit card. Your account number is 10 digits and appears below the card number in smaller print. They are different codes that serve different purposes.
Can I change my account number?
No, your account number is permanent for that checking account. It does not change when you get a new card, close and reopen the account, or change your account type. If you want a different account number, you would need to open a new account.
Is it safe to share my account number?
Yes, when you share it with someone who needs to send you money—like an employer for direct deposit or a business for a payment. Your account number alone cannot be used to withdraw money from your account. Always pair it with your routing number when sharing bank details.
What if I see a different number on my check than on my card?
The account number should be the same on both. If it appears different, check that you are reading the correct set of numbers on the check—the middle set at the bottom line is your account number. If it truly differs, contact Chase to confirm which is correct.
Do I need my account number to use my debit card at a store?
No. You only need your card number, expiration date, and CVV for in-person or online purchases. Your account number is for transfers and direct deposit, not for spending.
