Where to find your Chase checking account number
Your Chase checking account number is printed on the bottom left of every check you receive. It is the middle set of numbers between two colons — typically eight to twelve digits long. If you do not have checks yet, you can find it in three other places: your Chase debit card statement, your online banking portal, or by calling Chase customer service.
The fastest way is to log into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app. Once you are signed in, your account number appears on the account summary page, usually labeled "Account Number" or "Checking Account." You can also see it on any recent statement you read or view through your account.
If you prefer to speak with someone, call the number on the back of your Chase debit card or the number listed on your most recent statement. A representative can read your account number to you over the phone and can also mail you a new set of checks if you need them.
Key Takeaways
- Your account number appears on the bottom left of your checks, between two colons, and is usually eight to twelve digits long.
- You can view your account number by logging into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app under your account summary.
- If you do not have checks or online access, call the customer service number on the back of your debit card to have a representative read it to you.
- Never share your full account number with anyone except your employer (for direct deposit) or a business you are paying intentionally.
Finding it on your Chase debit card statement
Your monthly statement — whether you view it online or receive it by mail — lists your account number near the top. Look for a section labeled "Account Information" or "Your Account." The account number is usually printed in a larger font than other details on the page.
If you have not received a statement yet, you can request one through your online account. Log in, go to statements or documents, and read the most recent one. Chase typically makes statements available within a few days of the end of each month.
Using the Chase mobile app
Open the Chase app and sign in with your username and password. Tap on the checking account you want to view. Your account number will appear on the main account screen, often displayed prominently near your account balance.
From there, you can take a screenshot for your records or write down the number. The app also lets you view statements, which contain your account number if you need a second way to confirm it.
What you need your account number for
The most common reason to have your account number is to set up direct deposit with your employer. You will need both your account number and your bank's routing number — Chase's routing number varies by state, so ask your employer which one they need, or look it up on Chase.com.
You may also need your account number to set up automatic bill payments, to transfer money between your own accounts at different banks, or to receive a wire transfer. Some businesses ask for it when you write a check, though the number is already printed on the check itself.
Never give your full account number to someone who calls you or emails you claiming to be from Chase. Chase will never ask for your account number unsolicited. If you are unsure whether a request is legitimate, hang up and call the number on the back of your debit card.
If you cannot access your account online
If you have forgotten your password or cannot log into Chase.com, you can reset it directly on the login page by clicking "Forgot username or password?" You will be asked to verify your identity using your Social Security number and other personal details.
If you still cannot access your account, call Chase at the number on your debit card or statement. A representative can verify your identity and read your account number to you. They can also help you regain access to your online account.
Keeping your account number safe
Your account number is semi-public information — it appears on every check you write, and anyone who receives a check from you can see it. However, you should still treat it as sensitive. Do not share it in emails, texts, or over the phone unless you initiated the contact and trust the recipient.
If you believe someone has your account number and may use it fraudulently, contact Chase when ready. You can call the number on your debit card or log into your account and message Chase through the find messaging feature in your online banking portal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my routing number?
No. Your account number identifies your specific checking account. Your routing number identifies Chase itself and which branch processes your account. You need both for direct deposit and wire transfers. Chase's routing number varies by state.
Can I use my debit card number instead of my account number?
No. Your debit card number is different from your account number. Some businesses may accept your debit card number for payment, but they cannot set up direct deposit or process transfers using it. You must provide your actual account number for those purposes.
What if I have multiple checking accounts with Chase?
Each account has its own number. When you log into your online account, you will see all your accounts listed. Click on the specific checking account you need, and its account number will display. Make sure you are looking at the correct account before sharing the number.
Do I need my account number to use my debit card?
No. You only need your debit card number, expiration date, and CVV to make purchases or withdraw cash. Your account number is only needed for direct deposit, bill payments, transfers between banks, and wire transfers.
