Your account number is printed on the bottom left of your checks, visible in your Chase mobile app, and available by calling Chase customer service
The fastest way to find your Chase checking account number is to open the Chase mobile app or log into Chase.com. Once you're signed in, your account number appears on the account details page — usually labeled as "Account Number" or "Checking Account Number." If you have checks, look at the bottom left corner of any check; the account number is the middle set of digits between the routing number and the check number.
If you don't have access to the app or website right now, you can call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card. A representative will verify your identity and read your account number to you over the phone. This takes a few minutes but requires no login.

- If you can't access the app or website, call the customer service number on the back of your debit card and a representative will provide your account number after verifying your identity.
- You will need your account number to set up direct deposit, arrange wire transfers, or provide it to employers or other organizations that need to deposit money into your account.
Finding your account number in the Chase mobile app
Open the Chase mobile app and sign in with your username and password. On the home screen, you'll see a list of your accounts. Tap on your checking account to open it. The account number is displayed prominently on the account details page, usually near the top. Some versions of the app show it in full; others may show the last four digits with an option to reveal the full number.
If you don't see the account number on the main account page, look for a menu icon (three horizontal lines or dots) and tap "Account Details" or "Account Information." The full account number will be listed there.
Finding your account number on Chase.com
Log into Chase.com using your username and password. Click on your checking account from the accounts list. On the account summary page, your account number is displayed in the account information section. You can also find it by clicking "Account Details" or "Account Settings" if it's not immediately visible on the main page.
Some Chase accounts also show the account number in the "Transfer Money" or "Set Up Direct Deposit" sections, since you'll need it for those transactions. If you're having trouble locating it, use the search function on Chase.com and search for "account number."
Reading your account number from a check
Look at the bottom of any check you have. You'll see a series of numbers printed in magnetic ink. From left to right, these are: the routing number (nine digits), your account number (typically 10 to 12 digits), and the check number (usually four to five digits). The account number is always in the middle.
The routing number identifies Chase and the specific branch; the account number identifies your specific account. Make sure you're copying the middle set of digits, not the routing number or check number, when you need to provide your account number to someone.
Calling Chase to get your account number
Call the customer service number on the back of your Chase debit card. You can also call Chase directly at 1-800-935-9935. When you reach a representative, they will ask you to verify your identity by providing your Social Security number, date of birth, or answers to security questions you set up when you opened the account.
Once verified, the representative will read your account number to you. This method works even if you've lost your checks, forgotten your online password, or don't have the mobile app installed. The call usually takes five to ten minutes.
What to do if you can't find your account number
If you've tried the app, website, and checks and still can't locate your account number, contact Chase customer service by phone. Bring your debit card with you so you have the customer service number handy. You can also visit a Chase branch in person with your ID, and a teller can provide your account number immediately.
Do not share your full account number with anyone unless you initiated the contact and trust the recipient. Scammers sometimes call or email claiming to be from Chase and asking for account information. Chase will never ask for your account number unsolicited.
When you'll need your account number
You'll need your checking account number when setting up direct deposit for paychecks, arranging wire transfers, paying bills through a third-party service, or providing banking details to an employer or government agency. Some online bill payment systems also ask for it, though many only need your routing number and account number together.
Keep your account number in a safe place, but understand that it is not secret in the same way a password is. Your account number appears on every check you write, so anyone who receives a check from you will see it. The account number alone cannot be used to withdraw money without your debit card, PIN, or online login credentials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my debit card number?
No. Your debit card number is printed on the front of your card and is different from your account number. Your account number is what identifies your checking account at Chase; your card number is tied to that account but is a separate identifier used for card transactions.
Can someone take money from my account if they know my account number?
Not without additional information. Your account number alone is not enough to withdraw money or make unauthorized transfers. Someone would also need your PIN, online login credentials, or routing number plus account number plus authorization from you. If you're concerned about unauthorized activity, contact Chase immediately.
What's the difference between my routing number and my account number?
Your routing number identifies Chase and the specific branch where your account is held. Your account number identifies your individual account. Both appear on your checks: the routing number is on the left, the account number in the middle. You need both for direct deposit and wire transfers.
Why do I need my account number for direct deposit?
Your employer or the organization sending you money needs to know which specific account to deposit into. The account number, combined with your routing number, tells the banking system exactly where to send the funds. Without it, the deposit cannot be routed correctly.
Can I change my Chase checking account number?
No. Your account number is permanent and tied to your account. If you close the account and open a new one, you'll receive a new account number. If you're concerned about fraud or unauthorized use, contact Chase, but changing the number itself is not an option.
