Your account number appears on your debit card, checks, and online banking
Your Chase account number is a unique identifier for your specific deposit account. It's printed on the bottom left of your checks, embedded in your debit card number, and visible in your Chase online banking portal. The fastest way to find it depends on which account you're looking for and what you have available right now.
Chase uses a 10-digit account number for most checking and savings accounts. If you need it for a wire transfer, direct deposit setup, or to give to an employer, you have several straightforward places to look.
Key Takeaways
- Your account number is printed on the bottom left of any Chase checks you have, before the routing number.
- Log into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app and select your account to see the full number displayed on the account details page.
- Call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card to have a representative read your account number to you.
- Your debit card itself contains your account number, but it's embedded within the longer card number rather than printed separately.
Check your Chase checks
If you have a box of Chase checks, the account number is printed on the bottom of each check. Look at the bottom left corner, where you'll see a series of numbers. The format is typically: routing number (9 digits), then account number (10 digits), then check number.
The account number sits in the middle of these three groups. It's the second set of numbers you'll see when reading left to right along the bottom of the check. This is the most reliable physical document you can hold in your hand.
Log into Chase online banking or the mobile app
Open Chase.com on a computer or the Chase mobile app on your phone and sign in with your username and password. Once you're logged in, select the account you need the number for from your account list.
On the account details page, your full 10-digit account number will be displayed prominently. You can also see recent transactions, your balance, and other account information on this same screen. This method works whether you're looking for a checking account, savings account, or money market account.
Call Chase customer service
Call the customer service number on the back of your Chase debit card. A representative can verify your identity and read your account number to you over the phone. This takes a few minutes but requires no documents or online access.
Have your Social Security number and a form of identification ready when you call. The representative will ask security questions to confirm you own the account before sharing the number. This is the right option if you don't have checks, can't access online banking, or need the number immediately.
Visit a Chase branch in person
Walk into any Chase branch with a valid ID and ask a teller for your account number. They can print it for you or write it down. This is useful if you're already at the bank or prefer to handle it face-to-face.
Bring your ID and be ready to answer security questions. The teller can also help you with other account questions at the same time, such as routing numbers for wire transfers or whether your account has any holds or restrictions.
Understand what you're looking at on your debit card
Your Chase debit card has a 16-digit number printed on the front. Your account number is embedded within this card number, but it's not separated or labeled. The card number and account number are different — you'll need the account number specifically for direct deposits, wire transfers, and some bill payments.
Don't use your full card number when someone asks for your account number. Always use the 10-digit number from your checks, online banking, or a Chase representative. Using the wrong number can delay or reject a transaction.
Why you need your account number and what to do with it
Your account number is required for setting up direct deposit with an employer, receiving wire transfers, arranging automatic bill payments, and authorizing ACH transfers. It's also needed if you're closing an account or transferring money between your own Chase accounts.
When you provide your account number to someone else, also give them your routing number (which is 021000021 for most Chase accounts, though some business accounts differ). Together, these two numbers let money move in and out of your account safely. Never share your account number with someone you don't trust, and be cautious about sharing it via email or text.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my card number?
No. Your card number is 16 digits and printed on the front of your debit card. Your account number is 10 digits and appears on your checks and in online banking. They're different numbers, and you need the account number for most banking transactions.
What's the difference between my account number and routing number?
Your routing number identifies Chase Bank itself (it's the same for all Chase customers in most cases). Your account number identifies your specific account within Chase. You need both together for direct deposits and wire transfers.
Can I find my account number on a bank statement?
Yes. Your account number appears at the top of your Chase bank statement, whether you receive it by mail or view it online. Look for a line that says "Account Number" or similar, followed by the 10-digit number.
What if I have multiple Chase accounts?
Each account has its own unique 10-digit number. When you log into online banking, select the specific account you need the number for, and the account number for that account will display. If you call customer service, tell the representative which account you're asking about.
Is it safe to give someone my account number?
It's safe to give your account number and routing number to people who need to send you money, such as your employer for direct deposit or a company processing a refund. Do not share it with unknown callers or via unsecured email. Legitimate businesses will ask for it directly; scammers often call claiming to be from your bank.
