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

Your Chase checking account number appears in three places you can reach right now: the bottom left of your debit card, the bottom of any check you have, or your Chase online banking dashboard. The fastest route is your debit card — the 10-digit number printed there is your account number. If you don't have your card handy, log into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app and look at your account details.

You'll need this number when you set up direct deposit, wire money, or give payment instructions to someone who needs to deposit funds into your account. Banks also ask for it when you call customer service, though they can usually pull it up using your Social Security number and other identifying information. Having it written down or saved somewhere safe saves time in these moments.

Key Takeaways

  • Your 10-digit account number is printed on the bottom left of your Chase debit card, before the routing number.
  • You can find it in the Chase mobile app or on Chase.com by logging in and viewing your account details.
  • Any check from your account shows your account number at the bottom, along with your routing number and check number.
  • You may also receive your account number in the welcome materials Chase sent when you opened the account.

Finding it on your debit card

Look at the bottom of your Chase debit card. You'll see a series of numbers printed there. The first set of numbers on the left is your routing number (usually nine digits). The second set, which is 10 digits long, is your account number. The third set is your check number if you ordered checks.

This is the quickest way to find your number if you have your card with you. Write it down or take a photo if you need it for a form or phone call. The account number stays the same for as long as you keep that account open, so you can reference it whenever you need it.

Finding it in your checks

If you have a checkbook, open it and look at the bottom of any check. You'll see three groups of numbers separated by colons or special symbols. The first group is your routing number, the second is your account number (10 digits), and the third is the check number. The account number is always the middle set.

This method works even if you haven't used the checks yet — the numbers are printed the same way on every check in the book. If you ordered checks but haven't received them yet, use one of the other methods instead.

Finding it online or in the mobile app

Log into Chase.com using your username and password. Once you're signed in, look for "Accounts" or "Account Details" — the exact label depends on which version of the site you're using. Click on the checking account you need, and your account number will be displayed on the account summary page.

In the Chase mobile app, tap the checking account tile, then look for "Account Details" or an information icon. Your account number will appear there. This method works even if you're away from home and don't have your card or checks with you.

Finding it in your welcome materials

When you opened your Chase checking account, the bank sent you a welcome packet in the mail. This packet typically includes a letter with your account number printed on it, along with your routing number and other account details. If you kept these materials, you can find the number there without logging in or calling anyone.

If you've already thrown away the welcome letter, the other methods above will be faster than requesting new documents from Chase. Most people find their number through the debit card or online account within seconds.

What to do if you can't find it

Call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card. Have your Social Security number, date of birth, and a form of ID ready. The representative can pull up your account and read your account number to you over the phone. This takes a few minutes but works if none of the other methods are available to you.

You can also visit a Chase branch in person with your ID and ask a teller for your account number. Bring your debit card if you have it, as it speeds up the process. Either option gets you the number you need without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my routing number?

No. Your routing number identifies which Chase branch or processing center handles your account (usually nine digits). Your account number identifies your specific account at that location (10 digits). Both appear at the bottom of your checks and debit card, but they are separate numbers.

Can I change my account number?

Chase does not allow you to change your account number yourself. If you believe your account number has been compromised or used fraudulently, contact Chase when ready. They can close the account and open a new one with a different number if needed.

Do I need my account number to transfer money between my own Chase accounts?

No. When you transfer money between two accounts you own at Chase, the app or website lets you select both accounts by name. You only need the account number when sending money to someone else's account at a different bank or setting up direct deposit from an employer.

What if my debit card doesn't show my account number?

Older Chase debit cards sometimes omit the account number for security reasons. If your card doesn't show it, use your checks, log into your online account, or call Chase customer service. The number is always available through one of these routes.
