Your account number appears in five places on a Chase statement or card
Your Chase checking account number is printed on the bottom left of every paper check you receive. It is also on your monthly statement, in your online banking dashboard, on the back of your debit card, and in the Chase mobile app. The fastest way to find it right now is to log into Chase.com, go to your account overview, and look for the account number listed under your account name.
The account number is always a 10-digit string. It is separate from your routing number (which is 9 digits and tells other banks where to send money) and your card number (which is 16 digits and is only for card transactions). You will need the account number when you set up direct deposit, arrange a wire transfer, or give payment instructions to a third party.
Key Takeaways
- Your Chase checking account number is a 10-digit code printed on the bottom left of your checks, starting after the routing number.
- You can find it when ready by logging into Chase.com, opening your account overview, and looking under your account name.
- The Chase mobile app shows your account number in the account details section without requiring you to open a statement.
- Your account number is different from your routing number (9 digits) and your debit card number (16 digits), and each serves a different purpose.
Finding it on a paper check
If you have a checkbook, the account number is on the bottom of every check. Look at the bottom left corner. You will see three groups of numbers separated by vertical lines. The first group is your routing number (9 digits). The second group, in the middle, is your account number (10 digits). The third group on the right is the check number.
The account number is always printed in the same position on every check from that account. If you have multiple Chase checking accounts, each one has its own account number, and each checkbook will show a different number in that middle position.
Finding it in Chase online banking
Log into Chase.com with your username and password. On the dashboard, you will see a list of your accounts. Click on the checking account you need. At the top of the account page, you will see the account name and the account number displayed directly underneath it or to the right of the account name, depending on your screen size.
If you do not see the account number on the main account page, click on "Account Details" or "Account Information" — the exact label varies by when your account was opened, but it is always a link near the account name. This page will show your full account number, routing number, and other details you might need for setting up transfers or direct deposit.
Finding it in the Chase mobile app
Open the Chase mobile app and tap on the checking account you want. On the account overview screen, tap "Account Details" or the information icon (usually a small circle with an "i" inside). Your 10-digit account number will appear on this screen.
The mobile app is often faster than logging into the website if you are away from a computer. The account number display is the same whether you are using the iPhone or Android version of the app.
Finding it on your monthly statement
Open any Chase checking account statement, whether you receive it by mail or read it as a PDF from online banking. Look at the top of the first page. Your account number is printed there, usually near your account name or in a section labeled "Account Information."
If you receive paper statements, the account number also appears on the envelope. Statements are useful if you need to reference the account number for a specific date or transaction, since each statement shows the account number at the time it was issued.
Finding it on your debit card
Your Chase debit card does not show your account number on the front. The 16-digit number on the front is your card number, which is different. However, if you look at the back of your debit card, near the signature strip, you may see your account number printed there — though not all Chase debit cards display it.
The debit card number is only for card transactions. If someone asks for your account number for a bank transfer or direct deposit, give them the 10-digit account number from your checks or statement, not the 16-digit card number.
What to do if you cannot find it
If you do not have a checkbook, a recent statement, or access to online banking, call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card. A representative can read your account number to you over the phone. You will need to verify your identity with your Social Security number and other information.
You can also visit a Chase branch in person with a photo ID. A teller can print your account number for you or write it down. This is useful if you need it when ready and do not want to wait for a statement or set up online banking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my card number?
No. Your account number is 10 digits and is used for bank transfers and direct deposit. Your card number is 16 digits and is only for card transactions. They are separate numbers tied to the same account.
Can I change my account number?
Chase does not allow you to change your account number. If you are concerned about security, you can close the account and open a new one, which will have a different number. For most situations, your account number is safe to share with employers, banks, and other institutions that need it for legitimate transfers.
What is the difference between my account number and routing number?
Your routing number (9 digits) identifies which Chase branch or processing center handles your account. Your account number (10 digits) identifies your specific account within Chase. Both are needed together for wire transfers and direct deposit setup.
Do I need my account number to set up direct deposit?
Yes. Your employer or the organization sending you money will ask for your account number and routing number. You can find both on a check or in your online banking account details.
Is it safe to give out my account number?
Your account number is safe to share with employers, government agencies, and other banks for legitimate purposes like direct deposit and wire transfers. Do not share it with unknown callers or in response to unsolicited emails. Chase will never ask for your account number by email or text.
