Your account number is on your debit card, checks, and online banking
Your Chase account number appears in three places you can access right now: the bottom left of your debit card, the bottom of any check you have, or your Chase online banking dashboard. The fastest route is your debit card — look at the string of numbers along the bottom. The first set is your routing number (usually nine digits), and the second set is your account number (usually ten digits for Chase checking accounts). If you do not have your card handy, log into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app and go to your account details.
The account number you see online and on your card is the same number. Chase does not issue different account numbers for different purposes. If you are setting up a direct deposit, paying a bill, or sending money to another bank, use the same account number every time.
Key Takeaways
- Your Chase account number is the second set of digits on the bottom of your debit card, after the routing number.
- You can also find your account number by logging into Chase.com or the mobile app and viewing your account details.
- Checks display your routing number and account number in the same order as your debit card.
- The account number is the same whether you use it for direct deposit, bill pay, or transfers to another bank.
Reading the numbers on your debit card
The bottom of your Chase debit card shows two separate number sequences. On the left side, you will see nine digits — that is your routing number, which identifies Chase as your bank. Immediately to the right of that is a longer sequence of digits — that is your account number. For most Chase checking accounts, the account number is ten digits long.
Do not confuse your account number with your card number. The card number is the 16-digit number printed across the front of your card. That is different from your account number and is used only for card transactions, not for bank transfers or direct deposits.
Finding it in Chase online banking
Log into Chase.com using your username and password. Once you are logged in, click on the checking or savings account you need the number for. On the account overview page, look for a section labeled "Account Details" or "Account Information." Your account number will be displayed there in full.
In the Chase mobile app, tap the account you want, then look for the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or an information button. Select "Account Details" or "Account Information." Your routing number and account number will both be shown. You can also take a screenshot or note the number from this screen.
Using your checks to find the number
If you have a Chase checkbook, open it and look at any check. At the bottom left of the check, you will see the same two number sequences as on your debit card: the routing number (nine digits) followed by your account number (ten digits). The numbers are printed in a special magnetic ink that allows banks to read them automatically.
The account number on your checks is identical to the one on your debit card and in your online account. If you have multiple accounts with Chase, each one has its own account number, and each checkbook or debit card will show only that account's number.
What to do if you cannot access your card or online account
If you do not have your debit card, checks, or access to online banking, you can call Chase customer service at the number on the back of any Chase statement or credit card you have. Have your Social Security number and date of birth ready. A representative can read your account number to you over the phone.
You can also visit a Chase branch in person with a photo ID. A teller can provide your account number and routing number immediately. This is the fastest option if you need the number right away and do not have access to your card or online account.
Account numbers for different Chase account types
Chase account numbers follow the same format regardless of account type. A Chase checking account, savings account, and money market account each have their own separate account number. If you have multiple accounts, each one will have a different number, and you need to use the correct number for the account you are transferring from or to.
When you set up direct deposit, bill pay, or a transfer between banks, make sure you are using the account number for the specific account the money should come from or go to. Using the wrong account number will send the money to the wrong place or cause the transaction to fail.
Keeping your account number safe
Your account number is not secret in the same way your password is. It appears on checks you mail to people and on statements you may share. However, do not share your account number with anyone you do not trust, and do not post it on social media or in public forums.
If you believe someone has your account number and may use it fraudulently, contact Chase immediately. You can call the number on the back of your debit card or log into your account and report the concern. Chase can monitor your account and help you if unauthorized transactions occur.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my card number?
No. Your card number is the 16 digits on the front of your debit card. Your account number is the ten digits at the bottom left of the card, after the routing number. They are different numbers used for different purposes.
Can I find my account number on my bank statement?
Yes. Your Chase bank statement shows your account number at the top or in the account details section. Check any recent statement you have received by mail or downloaded from your online account.
Do I need a different account number for direct deposit than for bill pay?
No. The same account number works for direct deposit, bill pay, transfers, and any other transaction. You do not need multiple numbers for different purposes.
What if I have a joint account with Chase?
A joint account has one account number, shared by both account holders. Either person can use that account number to set up direct deposit or transfers. The account number does not change based on who is using it.
Can I change my Chase account number?
No. Chase does not allow you to change your account number. If you want a new account number, you would need to close your current account and open a new one, which is not practical for most situations.
