Your account number is on your debit card, checks, and online banking
Your Chase account number is a unique identifier for your specific checking or savings account. You can find it in four places without calling the bank: on the front or back of your debit card, on the bottom left of any check you write, in the Chase mobile app under account details, or on your monthly statement.
The account number itself is typically 10 to 12 digits long and appears separately from your routing number (which is always 9 digits for Chase). If you need it right now and have your debit card in hand, that is the fastest route. If you are at home, your statement or checkbook will have it printed.
Key Takeaways
- Your Chase account number appears on your debit card, checks, statements, and in the Chase mobile app or online banking portal.
- The account number is 10 to 12 digits and is different from your routing number, which is always 9 digits.
- You do not need to call Chase to find your account number if you have access to any of these documents or your online account.
- When you give your account number to set up direct deposit or bill pay, always verify you are on a secure Chase website or app, not a phishing email.
Finding your account number on your debit card
Look at the front of your Chase debit card. The long number printed across the middle is your card number, not your account number. Your account number is usually printed on the back of the card, often in smaller text near the signature strip or below the card number.
Not all Chase debit cards print the account number on the back. If yours does not, move to another method. Some older cards or specialty cards (like student or teen accounts) may only show the account number in online banking or on a statement.
Finding your account number on checks
Open your checkbook and look at the bottom of any check. You will see three sets of numbers separated by vertical lines. The first set (usually 9 digits) is your routing number. The second set (usually 10 to 12 digits) is your account number. The third set is the check number itself.
This layout is standard across all U.S. banks. If you have not ordered checks yet or have run out, this method will not work, but it is the clearest way to see both your routing and account numbers side by side.
Finding your account number in Chase online banking or the app
Log into your Chase account at chase.com or open the Chase mobile app. Navigate to the account you need the number for. In the online portal, click on the account name or "Account Details." In the mobile app, tap the account, then look for a menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select "Account Details" or "Account Information."
Your full account number will be displayed. You can usually copy it directly from the app or website. This method works even if you do not have your card or checks with you, as long as you remember your login credentials.
Finding your account number on your monthly statement
Your Chase statement (whether you receive it by mail or view it online) displays your account number near the top, usually in the upper right corner or next to your account name. If you receive paper statements, look at the first page. If you view statements online through Chase, open any recent statement and look for "Account Number" or "Account #."
Statements are sent monthly, so this method works only if you have a recent one available. Older statements will show the same account number, so even a statement from several months ago will have the correct number.
What to do if you cannot find your account number
If none of these methods work—for example, if you have a new account that has not yet generated a statement, or a specialty account type—you can call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card or visit a Chase branch in person. Have your identification ready.
Do not search for your account number by clicking links in emails or texts claiming to be from Chase. Scammers often pose as banks and ask for account numbers to steal from you. Always log into Chase directly through the official website or app, or call the number printed on your card.
Why you might need your account number
You will need your account number to set up direct deposit from an employer or government benefit, to arrange bill pay through Chase or another service, to transfer money between your own accounts at different banks, or to provide proof of account ownership to a third party.
You may also need it if you are closing an account and want to confirm which account is being closed, or if you are disputing a transaction and need to reference a specific account. Keep your account number private—do not share it in unsecured emails or with people you do not trust.
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 card. Your account number is 10 to 12 digits and is usually on the back of the card or at the bottom of a check. You can have multiple cards linked to the same account, so each card has a different card number but the same account number.
What is the routing number and how is it different from my account number?
Your routing number is a 9-digit code that identifies Chase Bank itself, not your specific account. Your account number identifies your specific account within Chase. When you set up direct deposit or wire money, you need both numbers: the routing number tells the system which bank, and the account number tells it which account at that bank.
Can I find my account number if I lost my debit card and do not have checks?
Yes. Log into your Chase account online or through the mobile app and go to Account Details. You can also view any recent statement online through your Chase account. If you do not remember your login, you can reset your password on the Chase website using your email or phone number.
Is it safe to give my account number to someone?
Your account number alone cannot be used to withdraw money from your account—a thief would also need your routing number and access to your bank's systems. However, keep it private anyway. Only give your account number to people and organizations you trust, such as your employer for direct deposit or your bank for legitimate transactions.
Why does my statement show a different account number than my debit card?
This should not happen if both are for the same account. If they differ, you may be looking at two different accounts (for example, a checking account and a savings account). Check the account name or type at the top of the statement to confirm which account it covers. If the numbers still do not match, contact Chase to verify.
