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

Your Chase bank account number is a 10-digit code that identifies your specific account. You can find it in four places without calling the bank: on the front of your debit card, on the bottom left of any check you have, in the Chase mobile app, or on the Chase website after you log in.

The fastest route is usually your debit card. Look at the raised numbers on the front — the longest number is your card number, but underneath it in smaller print is your account number. It is the 10 digits that come after a shorter routing number.

If you do not have your card with you or cannot read the small print, your checks show the same information in a clearer format at the bottom. The account number sits in the middle of three groups of numbers.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Chase account number is 10 digits and appears on your debit card in small print below the card number, and on the bottom of any check.
  • The Chase mobile app and website both display your account number once you log in — look for "Account Details" or similar sections.
  • If you need the number urgently and have no card or checks, you can call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your card.
  • Your account number is different from your routing number (which is 9 digits) and your card number — do not mix them up when sending money or setting up payments.

Finding your account number in the Chase app

Open the Chase mobile app and log in with your username and password. Tap the account you want to view — if you have multiple accounts, make sure you select the right one.

Look for a section labeled "Account Details," "Account Info," or sometimes just an information icon. Your 10-digit account number will be displayed there. You can usually tap it to copy it to your clipboard so you can paste it elsewhere.

Finding your account number on Chase.com

Go to Chase.com and log in. Click on the account you want to view from your accounts list.

Once you are viewing that account, look for a link or button that says "Account Details" or "Account Information" — this is usually near the top of the page or in a menu. Your account number will be listed there along with your routing number. Some versions of the website show it right on the main account view without clicking further.

Reading your account number from a check

Look at the bottom of any check. You will see three groups of numbers separated by vertical lines. The first group (9 digits) is your routing number. The middle group (10 digits) is your account number. The last group is the check number.

This format is the same on every Chase check, so any check from your account will show the same account number. If the print is faded or hard to read, you can hold the check up to light or use your phone's camera to zoom in.

Reading your account number from your debit card

The front of your Chase debit card has two sets of numbers. The large raised numbers are your card number (16 digits). Below those, in much smaller print, is your account number (10 digits) preceded by a 9-digit routing number.

The small print can be difficult to read, especially if the card is worn. If you cannot make it out, the app or website method is faster than squinting at the card.

When you need your account number right away

If you need your account number and cannot access your card, checks, app, or the website, you can call Chase customer service. The phone number is on the back of your debit card if you have it with you. You will need to verify your identity with personal information before they give you the number.

Chase customer service is open during business hours and also has a 24-hour automated line for some account inquiries, though a live person may be faster for this request.

Why you need your account number and what not to confuse it with

You need your account number when you set up direct deposit at a new job, arrange a wire transfer, or give someone permission to withdraw money from your account. It is also required when you contact Chase about a specific transaction or problem with your account.

Do not mix up your account number with your routing number (9 digits — identifies Chase as your bank), your card number (16 digits — identifies your specific debit card), or your PIN (the 4-digit code you use at ATMs). Each one serves a different purpose, and using the wrong number can delay a payment or cause it to go to the wrong place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my card number?

No. Your card number is 16 digits and is printed large on the front of your card. Your account number is 10 digits and is printed in small text below the card number. You need the account number for bank transfers and direct deposit, not the card number.

Can I use my account number to make purchases online?

No. Online purchases require your card number, expiration date, and CVV (the 3-digit code on the back). Your account number is for bank-to-bank transfers and direct deposit only. Never give your account number to a merchant or website.

What is the routing number and how is it different from my account number?

Your routing number is 9 digits and identifies Chase Bank as your financial institution. Your account number is 10 digits and identifies your specific account within Chase. Both appear together on checks and on your debit card, and you often need both for wire transfers or direct deposit setup.

Will my account number change if I get a new debit card?

No. Your account number stays the same for the life of the account, even if you get a replacement card. Your new card will have a different card number, but the account number underneath will be identical to your old card.

Is it safe to share my account number?

Your account number is safe to share with your employer (for direct deposit), with another bank (for wire transfers), or with Chase itself. Do not share it with strangers, on social media, or with anyone who contacts you unexpectedly claiming to be from your bank.
