Your account number is on your debit card, checks, and online banking
Your TD Bank checking account number appears in three places you can reach right now: the bottom left of any check you have, the front of your debit card, and your online banking portal. The fastest route is usually your debit card—the 10-digit number printed below your name. If you do not have your card with you, log into TD Bank online or the mobile app and look at your account summary; the account number displays there without needing to dig through statements.
The account number itself is distinct from your routing number, which is the five-digit code that tells other banks where your money is coming from. Both appear together on checks: the routing number comes first on the left, then your account number. If you are setting up a direct deposit or wire transfer, you will need both, but for most purposes—checking your balance, paying bills, or confirming which account is which—the account number alone is what you are looking for.
Key Takeaways
- Your TD Bank checking account number is a 10-digit code printed on the front of your debit card, below your name.
- The same number appears at the bottom left of any check you have, printed after the five-digit routing number.
- You can view your account number by logging into TD Bank's website or mobile app and opening your account summary.
- Your account number is different from your routing number; both are needed for direct deposits and wire transfers, but only the account number is required for most daily banking tasks.
Finding it on your debit card
Look at the front of your TD Bank debit card. Below your name, you will see a series of numbers. The 10-digit code is your account number. This is the quickest way to find it if you have your card in your wallet. The card also shows your card number (16 digits), which is different—do not confuse the two. Your account number is the shorter one directly under your name.
If your debit card is lost or expired and you do not have a replacement yet, move to your checks or your online account instead. The account number does not change when you get a new card, so you can use the number from an old card if you still have it.
Finding it on a check
Open your checkbook and look at the bottom of any check. You will see three groups of numbers separated by vertical lines. The first group (on the left) is your routing number—nine digits. The middle group is your account number—10 digits. The third group (on the right) is the check number itself. Write down the middle group.
If you have not ordered checks yet or your checks are at home and you need the number now, your debit card or online banking will be faster. But if you are sitting at a desk with a checkbook in front of you, this is the easiest place to look.
Finding it in TD Bank online or mobile app
Log into your TD Bank account at tdbank.com or open the TD Bank mobile app on your phone. Once you are signed in, you will land on your dashboard or home screen. Look for a section labeled "Accounts" or "Account Summary." Click or tap on your checking account. Your account number will display prominently on that page, usually near the top alongside your account balance.
If you have multiple accounts with TD Bank, make sure you are looking at the right one. The account summary page will show you the account type (checking, savings, money market) so you can confirm you are viewing your checking account. You can also take a screenshot or write down the number for your records.
When you need both your account number and routing number
Some transactions require both numbers. Direct deposit from your employer, automatic bill payments, and wire transfers all need your routing number plus your account number so the other bank knows which TD Bank branch to send the money to and which account within that branch to deposit it into. Your routing number for TD Bank varies slightly by state and branch, so do not assume it is the same as someone else's.
If you are setting up direct deposit, your employer's payroll department will ask for both numbers. If you are paying a bill by bank transfer, the biller's website will have fields for both. A check already has both printed on it, which is why checks work without you having to enter the numbers separately—the bank reads them automatically when it processes the check.
What to do if you cannot find your account number
Call TD Bank customer service at 1-800-937-8000 (the number is on the back of your debit card if you have one). Have your Social Security number and a form of ID ready. A representative can read your account number to you over the phone and can also email or mail it to you if you prefer a written record. This takes a few minutes and requires you to verify your identity, but it is straightforward.
You can also visit a TD Bank branch in person with your ID. A teller can print your account number for you on the spot. If you are already in a branch for another reason, this adds no time to your visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my card number?
No. Your card number is the 16-digit code on the front of your debit card. Your account number is the 10-digit code printed directly below your name on the same card. They are different numbers tied to the same account.
Can I find my account number on a bank statement?
Yes. Your account number appears at the top of every monthly statement, usually near your name and address. If you have a statement in front of you, that is a reliable place to look.
What is the routing number, and where do I find it?
Your routing number is a five-digit code that identifies your specific TD Bank branch. It appears first (on the left) at the bottom of any check, before your account number. You can also find it on your statement or by calling customer service.
Do I need my account number to check my balance?
No. You only need your username and password to log into TD Bank online or the app. Your account number is useful when you are setting up transfers, direct deposits, or payments, but not for checking your balance or viewing transactions.
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. When you receive a replacement card, the new card will have the same account number printed on it.
