Your account number is on your checks, your debit card, and in the Chase app

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 or visiting a branch: on the bottom left of any check you have, on your debit card statement, in the Chase mobile app or website, and on paper statements mailed to you.

The fastest route is usually your debit card statement or the Chase app. If you have checks, the account number appears on every check. Each of these sources shows the same number — there is only one account number per checking account, regardless of how many cards or checkbooks are linked to it.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Chase checking account number is a 10-digit code printed on the bottom left of your checks, just before the routing number.
  • The Chase mobile app shows your account number under Account Details or Account Information, depending on your device and app version.
  • Your debit card statement lists the account number, and you can also find it on paper statements mailed to your address on file.
  • The account number is the same across all your Chase checking products — checks, debit cards, and online transfers all use the same 10 digits.

Finding your account number on a check

Look at the bottom of any check. You will see three sets of numbers printed in magnetic ink. The first set on the left is your routing number (nine digits). The middle set is your account number (10 digits). The third set on the right is the check number.

The account number is always in the middle position. If you have multiple checkbooks from the same account, every check will show the same account number. If you have not written a check in years, an old check still works — the account number does not change unless you close the account and open a new one.

Finding your account number in the Chase app or online

Open the Chase mobile app or go to chase.com and sign in. On the home screen, you will see your checking account listed with the last four digits visible. Tap or click on the account name to open the account details page.

Once you are in the account details, look for a section labeled "Account Information," "Account Details," or sometimes "Account Number." The full 10-digit number will be displayed there. Some versions of the app also show it when you tap the three-dot menu next to your account name and select "Account Details."

Finding your account number on your debit card statement

Your monthly debit card statement lists your checking account number near the top, usually in a section labeled "Account Information" or "Your Account." The statement arrives by mail or email depending on your preferences, and you can also view past statements in the Chase app under "Statements & Documents."

If you have paperless statements, log into your Chase account online, go to "Statements & Documents," and open any recent statement. The account number appears in the same location on every statement. You do not need the current month's statement — any statement from the past year will show the correct account number.

Finding your account number on paper statements

If Chase mails you a paper statement, your account number is printed in the upper right corner or in a section labeled "Account Information" near the top of the first page. The number is always 10 digits and appears in the same location on every statement you receive.

Paper statements arrive monthly unless you have changed your delivery preferences. If you have not received a statement recently, you can request one through the Chase app or website, or you can use one of the other methods above instead.

What to do if you cannot find your account number

If you do not have checks, cannot access the app, and have not received a statement, you can call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card. Have your card and a form of ID ready. A representative can read your account number to you over the phone, though this takes longer than looking it up yourself.

You can also visit a Chase branch in person with your debit card and ID. A teller can print your account number for you when ready. This is useful if you need the number urgently and cannot wait for a statement or app access.

Why you need your account number and when to use it

Your account number is required for setting up direct deposit, receiving wire transfers, arranging automatic bill payments, and providing banking information to employers or other institutions. It is different from your routing number (which identifies Chase as your bank) and your debit card number (which is used for purchases and ATM withdrawals).

When you provide your account number, you are usually also asked for your routing number. Chase's routing number varies slightly by region, but you can find it the same way you find your account number — on a check, in the app, or on a statement. The account number alone does not let someone withdraw money from your account; they also need your routing number and authorization from you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my debit card number?

No. Your debit card number is the 16-digit number on the front of your card. Your account number is a 10-digit code that identifies your checking account specifically. They are different numbers used for different purposes.

Can I use an old check to find my account number?

Yes. Your account number does not change as long as the account remains open. A check from five years ago will show the same account number as a check written today.

What is the routing number, and where do I find it?

The routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies Chase Bank as your financial institution. It appears on the bottom left of your checks, before your account number. You can also find it in the Chase app or on your statement. It is the same for all Chase customers in your region.

Do I need both my account number and routing number to set up direct deposit?

Yes. Most employers and institutions require both numbers to deposit money into your account. Your routing number tells them which bank to send the money to; your account number tells them which specific account within Chase to deposit it into.

Is it safe to share my account number?

It is safe to share your account number with people and organizations you trust — your employer for direct deposit, your landlord for rent payments, or a utility company for bill payments. However, do not share it with anyone who contacts you unexpectedly. Scammers sometimes call claiming to be from Chase and ask for account numbers.
