Your checking account number is on your debit card, checks, and online banking
The fastest way to find your Chase checking account number is to look at a check from your checkbook. The account number appears at the bottom of the check, in the middle section between the routing number (on the left) and the check number (on the right). If you do not have checks, your debit card also displays the account number—it is the longer number printed on the front of the card, separate from the card number itself.
You can also log into your Chase online banking account or the Chase mobile app and view your account number in the account details section. Once you are logged in, select the checking account you need, and the full account number will appear on the account summary page. This method works even if you have not received physical checks or a debit card yet.
If you have lost access to all three of these sources, call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card, or visit a Chase branch in person with a photo ID. A representative can provide your account number over the phone or print it for you at the branch.
Key Takeaways
- Your account number appears on the bottom of any check you have, between the routing number and check number.
- The account number is also printed on your debit card as a separate number from your card number.
- Chase online banking and the mobile app display your full account number under account details.
- If you cannot locate it through these methods, call the customer service number on your debit card or visit a branch with photo ID.
Finding your account number on a check
The bottom of a check contains three key numbers in a specific order. On the far left is the routing number (nine digits), which identifies Chase as your bank. In the middle is your account number (typically 10 to 12 digits), which identifies your specific account. On the far right is the check number, which is unique to that individual check.
If you have a checkbook but have not yet written a check, open it and look at any blank check. The account number will be printed the same way on every check in that book. You do not need to write or cash the check to read the number—simply looking at the printed information is enough.
Locating your account number in Chase online banking
Log into Chase.com using your username and password. Once you are on your dashboard, locate the checking account you need and click on it. The account summary page will display your full account number prominently, usually near the top of the page alongside your account balance and recent transactions.
If you use the Chase mobile app, the process is similar. Open the app, select your checking account from the list, and tap on the account name or settings icon. Your account number will appear in the account details section. This method works whether you are at home or on the go, and you can take a screenshot for your records if needed.
Reading your account number from your debit card
Your Chase debit card has two separate numbers on the front. The card number (16 digits) is the long number that runs across the middle of the card—this is what you use to make purchases or withdraw cash. Below or near the card number is your account number, which is shorter and separate. The account number is the one you need when setting up direct deposit, wire transfers, or other banking transactions.
Do not confuse the card number with the account number. The card number is tied to your physical card and changes if you get a replacement card. Your account number stays the same for the life of the account, even if you receive a new debit card.
What to do if you cannot find your account number
If you do not have access to checks, a debit card, or online banking, contact Chase directly. Call the customer service number printed on the back of any Chase card you have, or call 1-800-935-9935 for general Chase customer service. Have your photo ID and Social Security number ready, as the representative will verify your identity before providing account information.
You can also visit a Chase branch in person. Bring a photo ID and ask a teller to provide your account number. They can print it for you or write it down on a receipt. This method is useful if you prefer to handle banking in person or if you are having trouble accessing your online account.
Using your account number safely
Your account number is necessary for legitimate banking tasks like setting up direct deposit, receiving wire transfers, or paying bills through automatic transfers. However, 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 ask for account numbers.
If someone contacts you asking for your account number and you did not initiate the contact, hang up or delete the message. Chase will never ask for your account number via unsolicited email or phone call. If you are unsure whether a request is legitimate, hang up and call Chase directly using the number on your debit card or statement.
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 and changes when you get a new card. Your account number is separate, shorter, and stays the same for the life of the account. You can find your account number below the card number on your debit card or at the bottom of a check.
Can I find my account number without logging into online banking?
Yes. Check the bottom of any check you have, or look at your debit card. Both display your account number without requiring you to log in. If you do not have either, call Chase at 1-800-935-9935 or visit a branch with photo ID.
What is the routing number, and is it the same as my account number?
No. The routing number (nine digits) identifies Chase Bank as your financial institution. Your account number (10 to 12 digits) identifies your specific account. Both appear at the bottom of a check, with the routing number on the left and the account number in the middle.
Do I need my account number to set up direct deposit?
Yes. Your employer or the organization sending you money will ask for your account number and routing number to set up direct deposit. You can find both at the bottom of a check or in your Chase online banking account.
What should I do if I think someone has my account number?
Contact Chase immediately at 1-800-935-9935 or visit a branch. A representative can review your account for unauthorized activity and take steps to protect it. If you see transactions you did not make, report them right away so Chase can investigate.
