Where to find your Chase account number right now
Your Chase account number is printed on the bottom left of every check you receive, and it appears on your monthly statement. If you have a debit card, the number is also on the back of the card itself. The fastest way to see it without paper is to log into your Chase online account or mobile app — your account number shows in the account details section, usually labeled "Account Information" or "Details".
If you have not set up online access yet, you can call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card or on any Chase statement. A representative can read your account number to you over the phone after verifying your identity with your Social Security number and date of birth.
Your account number is different from your routing number (which identifies Chase itself) and your card number (which is on the front of your debit or credit card). The account number is specific to your individual checking or savings account and is what you need when setting up direct deposit, wire transfers, or automatic bill payments.
Key Takeaways
- Your account number appears on the bottom left of your checks, on your monthly statement, and on the back of your debit card.
- Log into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app and go to Account Information to see your account number without paper.
- Call the customer service number on the back of your card if you need your account number read to you over the phone.
- Your account number is not the same as your routing number or your card number, and you will need it for direct deposit and bill payments.
Retrieving your account number through Chase online banking
Go to Chase.com and sign in with your username and password. Once logged in, select the account you want information about from the list on the left side of the screen. Click on "Account Details" or "View Details" — the exact label depends on whether you are using the classic or newer Chase interface, but both versions have this option in the same location.
Your account number will display in full. You can also take a screenshot or write it down. If you use the Chase mobile app, the process is the same: open the app, select your account, and tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) to find Account Information or Details.
This method works whether you have a checking account, savings account, or both. If you have multiple accounts at Chase, you will see the account number for whichever one you select.
Finding your account number on paper documents
Look at the bottom left corner of any check from your checking account. You will see a series of numbers separated by colons or dashes. The middle set of numbers is your account number. The first set is your routing number (always 9 digits for Chase), and the last set is the check number itself.
Your monthly statement also lists your account number at the top of the first page, usually near your name and address. If you receive paper statements, this is often the easiest place to find it because the number is printed clearly and labeled.
If you no longer have checks or statements, you can request a duplicate statement from Chase by calling customer service or through your online account. Chase will mail or email it to you within a few business days.
What to do if you cannot access your online account
If you have forgotten your password or cannot log in, use the "Forgot Username" or "Forgot Password" link on the Chase login page. Chase will send a reset link to your email address or phone number on file. Follow the link and create a new password, then log in normally to find your account number.
If you have not yet created an online account, you can set one up at Chase.com by clicking "Enroll" and providing your account number, Social Security number, and date of birth. Chase will send a temporary password to your email, which you can change after your first login.
If you are locked out of your account for security reasons, or if you do not have email or phone access to the recovery methods Chase has on file, call the customer service number on the back of your debit card. A representative can verify your identity and provide your account number over the phone.
Using your account number for common transactions
You will need your account number when setting up direct deposit with your employer or a government agency. Provide both your routing number (for Chase, this is typically 021000021 for most regions, though it varies slightly by location) and your account number to ensure the deposit goes to the correct account.
Wire transfers also require your account number. If someone is sending you money by wire, give them your account number and Chase's routing number. If you are sending a wire, Chase will ask for the recipient's account number and their bank's routing number.
Automatic bill payments set up through your bank account (rather than through a biller's website) require your account number. When you authorize a company to withdraw money from your checking account, you are giving them your account number and routing number so they can process the withdrawal.
Protecting your account number from misuse
Your account number is not as sensitive as your Social Security number or PIN, but it should still be treated with care. Anyone who has your account number and routing number can set up an ACH transfer or automatic withdrawal from your account, though they cannot access your funds without authorization from you or your bank.
Do not share your account number with anyone you do not trust. If you are setting up a legitimate transaction — direct deposit, a bill payment, or a wire transfer — you can safely provide it to the employer, government agency, or business involved. If someone calls or emails asking for your account number unsolicited, do not provide it; legitimate companies will never ask for it this way.
If you believe your account number has been compromised or if you see unauthorized transactions, contact Chase immediately at the number on the back of your card. Chase can freeze your account, issue a new account number, or investigate the unauthorized activity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my card number?
No. Your card number is the 16-digit number on the front of your debit or credit card. Your account number is a separate number that identifies your specific checking or savings account at Chase. You can have the same account number but different card numbers if you request a replacement card.
What is Chase's routing number?
Chase's routing number varies by region and account type, but the most common routing number for Chase checking accounts is 021000021. You can confirm the correct routing number for your specific account by checking the bottom left of a check, calling Chase customer service, or logging into your online account.
Can I change my account number?
Chase does not allow you to change your account number yourself. If you need a new account number for security reasons, contact Chase customer service and explain the situation. In some cases, they may close your current account and open a new one with a different number, though this is not routine.
Do I need my account number to check my balance?
No. You can check your balance by logging into your Chase online account or mobile app with just your username and password, or by calling the automated phone line at the number on the back of your card. You do not need your account number to view your balance.
What if I lost a check and someone else found it?
Your account number is visible on a check, but a lost check alone does not put your account at serious risk. The person would also need your routing number (which is also on the check) and authorization to withdraw money. If you are concerned, contact Chase and they can monitor your account or issue you new checks with a different number if needed.
