Where to find your checking account number on a Chase statement or card

Your Chase checking account number appears in three places you can reach right now. The easiest is your debit card: the account number is printed on the front, below your name. It is typically 10 digits long. If you do not have your card in front of you, open your most recent paper statement — the account number sits in the upper right corner, usually next to your account type. Online, log into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app, select your checking account, and the account number displays at the top of the account summary page.

The account number itself is not the same as your routing number, which is the nine-digit code that identifies Chase as your bank. You may need both for wire transfers, direct deposit setup, or bill payments. Chase's routing number varies slightly by state and account type, but you can find the correct one for your specific account in the same places you find the account number — statements, the app, or by calling Chase customer service at 1-800-935-9935.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Chase checking account number is printed on the front of your debit card, on your paper statement in the upper right corner, and in your online account summary.
  • The account number is 10 digits and is different from your routing number, which identifies Chase as your bank.
  • You can view your account number in the Chase mobile app by selecting your checking account and looking at the account summary.
  • If you need both the account number and routing number for a transaction, you can find both in the same locations.

Viewing your account number in the Chase mobile app

Open the Chase app and tap the checking account you want information about. The account number displays at the top of the screen, usually in a box labeled "Account Details" or directly under the account name. You can tap the account number to copy it to your clipboard, which saves you from typing it out when you are filling in forms or making payments.

If you do not see the account number on the first screen, scroll down slightly — it may appear below your current balance. Some versions of the app also let you tap a small info icon next to the account name to reveal additional details including the routing number.

Getting your account number from Chase online banking

Log into Chase.com with your username and password. On the dashboard, locate your checking account in the list of accounts. Click on the account name or the "View Details" link. The account number appears at the top of the account page, often in a highlighted section. You can usually click the account number itself to copy it.

If you have multiple checking accounts with Chase, make sure you are looking at the correct one — the account number is specific to each account. The page also shows your routing number, which you may need for the same transaction.

Reading your account number from a paper statement

Locate your most recent Chase checking account statement. Open to the first page. In the upper right corner, you will see a section labeled "Account Information" or similar. Your account number is listed there, usually as a 10-digit number. The statement also includes your routing number and the statement period dates.

If you have thrown away recent statements, you can request a duplicate from Chase by calling 1-800-935-9935 or by logging into your online account and selecting the option to view or read past statements. Chase typically keeps statements available online for up to seven years.

What to do if you cannot find your account number

Call Chase customer service at 1-800-935-9935. Have your Social Security number and a form of identification ready. The representative will verify your identity and provide your account number over the phone. This call usually takes fewer than five minutes.

You can also visit a Chase branch in person with a photo ID. A teller can print your account information for you when ready. If you do not have a debit card or access to online banking, this is often the fastest route.

Understanding what your account number is used for

Your Chase checking account number is required for direct deposit, wire transfers, bill payments through third-party services, and when you are setting up automatic transfers between accounts. It is also needed if you want to give someone else permission to send you money or if you are paying a bill by check and need to reference your account.

The account number alone does not give someone access to your account — they also need your routing number and, for some transactions, additional verification. Never share your full account number with people you do not trust, but it is safe to provide it to your employer for direct deposit or to legitimate businesses you are paying.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Your account number is 10 digits and appears below your name on the card. Your debit card number is 16 digits and appears in the center of the card. They are different numbers used for different purposes.

Can I change my Chase checking account number?

Chase does not allow you to change your account number yourself. If you believe your account number has been compromised, call Chase at 1-800-935-9935 to discuss your options. In rare cases, Chase may issue you a new account number, but this is not routine.

Do I need my account number to use my debit card at a store?

No. You only need your debit card number, expiration date, and CVV for in-person or online purchases. Your account number is used for bank-to-bank transfers, direct deposit, and bill payments — not for everyday card transactions.

What is the difference between my account number and routing number?

Your account number identifies your specific checking account at Chase. Your routing number identifies Chase as your bank. You need both for wire transfers and direct deposit setup. The routing number is the same for all Chase customers in your state, but your account number is unique to you.
