Where to find your Chase checking account number
Your Chase checking account number is printed on the bottom left of every check you write. Look at the first set of numbers after the routing number (which comes first). That eight- or nine-digit number is your account number. If you don't have checks handy, you can find it in three other places: your Chase debit card, your online banking portal, or by calling Chase directly.
The fastest route is usually your debit card. The account number appears on the front of most Chase debit cards, printed below your name. If your card doesn't show it, or if you've lost your card, log into your Chase online account or mobile app instead.
Key Takeaways
- Your account number is the eight- or nine-digit number on the bottom left of your checks, after the routing number.
- Chase debit cards display your account number on the front, below your name, on most card designs.
- You can view your account number anytime by logging into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app under account details.
- If you cannot access your card, checks, or online account, call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card or on your statement.
Finding your account number in the Chase mobile app
Open the Chase mobile app and sign in with your username and password. Tap the account you want to view—if you have multiple accounts, make sure you select the checking account. The account number will appear near the top of the screen, usually displayed as the full number or partially masked for security.
If the number is masked (showing only the last four digits), tap on it to reveal the full account number. Some versions of the app show it immediately; others require you to tap a details button or account information link. The exact location varies slightly depending on your phone's operating system and which version of the app you have installed.
Finding your account number on Chase.com
Go to Chase.com and sign in with your online banking credentials. Once logged in, look for your checking account in the accounts list on the left side of the screen or in the main dashboard. Click on the account name to open the account details page.
Your account number will be displayed prominently on this page, often labeled as "Account Number" or "Checking Account." You can copy it directly from this page if you need to paste it elsewhere—for example, when setting up a direct deposit or wire transfer. If you need to print or save this information, most browsers allow you to print the page or take a screenshot.
What the account number looks like and where it appears
Chase checking account numbers are typically eight or nine digits long. On a check, the account number sits between the routing number (which is always nine digits) and the check number. The routing number comes first on the bottom line, followed by your account number, then the check number on the far right.
On your debit card, the account number appears as a separate line of digits below your name and card number. Do not confuse your account number with your card number—they are different. Your card number is the 16-digit number embossed on the front of the card; your account number is shorter and appears below it.
When you need your account number and what to do with it
You will need your account number when setting up direct deposit for paychecks, arranging automatic bill payments, or receiving wire transfers. You may also need it when contacting Chase customer service about your account, though they can often look it up using your Social Security number or the phone number associated with your account.
Never share your full account number with anyone unless you initiated the contact and trust the recipient. If someone calls you claiming to be from Chase and asks for your account number, hang up and call Chase directly using the number on the back of your debit card or on your statement. Scammers sometimes pose as banks to steal account information.
If you cannot find your account number
If you don't have access to checks, your debit card, or online banking, call Chase customer service. The phone number is on the back of your debit card or on any Chase statement you have received. Have your Social Security number and the phone number associated with your account ready when you call.
Chase customer service can confirm your account number over the phone and can also mail you a new statement or debit card if yours is lost or damaged. If you are locked out of your online account, they can help you reset your password or username so you can access your account number yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my routing number?
No. Your routing number is always nine digits and identifies which Chase branch or processing center handles your account. Your account number is eight or nine digits and identifies your specific account. Both appear on the bottom of your checks, but in different positions.
Can I use my account number to make payments online?
Yes. Many billers and payment systems ask for your account number and routing number to set up automatic payments or one-time transfers from your checking account. Make sure you are entering the information on a secure website before you provide these details.
What if my debit card doesn't show my account number?
Some newer Chase debit card designs do not print the account number on the card for security reasons. If yours doesn't, log into Chase.com or the mobile app to view it, or call Chase customer service. You can also look at a check if you have one.
Do I need my account number to transfer money between my own Chase accounts?
Not always. If you are transferring money within Chase using online banking or the mobile app, you can usually select the account from a dropdown menu without typing the account number. However, some transfers or external payments may require you to enter it manually.
Is it safe to text or email my account number?
It is safer to avoid it. Text and email are not encrypted, so your account number could be intercepted. If you must share it, use a secure method like your bank's secure messaging system within online banking, or call the recipient directly to confirm they received it.
