Where to find your account number on statements and online
Your DCU checking account number appears on every paper statement you receive in the mail, printed in the upper right corner. If you bank online, log into your DCU account and look at your account summary or transaction history — the account number is listed there as well. The number is typically 10 digits and appears next to your account type (like "Checking").
The fastest way to locate it if you do not have a statement handy is to sign into DCU's online banking portal or mobile app. Once logged in, your account number displays on the dashboard or account details page without needing to navigate through menus. Most members find it within seconds of opening the app.

Retrieving your account number by phone
Call DCU's member service line at 1-800-328-8797 during business hours. Have your Social Security number and a form of identification ready — the representative will verify your identity before sharing your account number over the phone.
This method works if you have forgotten your online banking password, do not have a recent statement, or prefer to speak with someone directly. The call typically takes fewer than five minutes once you are connected to a representative. Member service is available Monday through Friday during standard business hours, and some lines may have extended weekend hours depending on the season.
Finding it on checks and payment documents
If you have a checkbook from your DCU checking account, the account number is printed at the bottom of each check. It appears after the routing number (which starts with 211) and before the check number on the far right. The format is always: routing number, then account number, then check number.
Your account number also appears on any payment stubs, direct deposit authorization forms, or wire transfer confirmations DCU has sent you. These documents are useful if you need to set up automatic payments or provide proof of your account details to an employer or other organization. Keep at least one of these documents in a safe place for future reference.
What to do if you cannot access your online account
If you have forgotten your online banking password or cannot log in, you can reset it through DCU's website without needing your account number. Go to the DCU login page and select "Forgot Password," then follow the prompts to verify your identity using your email address or phone number.
If you cannot reset your password through the website, call member service at 1-800-328-8797 and ask them to help you regain access. Once you are back in your account, your account number will be visible on the dashboard. The password reset process usually takes just a few minutes and does not require speaking to a representative.
Understanding the difference between account and routing numbers
Your DCU checking account number is unique to you — no other member has the same one. Your routing number, by contrast, is the same for all DCU members and is always 211391825. You need both numbers to set up direct deposit, receive wire transfers, or authorize automatic payments.
When someone asks for your "account details," they typically want both numbers. The account number identifies which specific account the money should go to, while the routing number tells the sending bank which institution to send it to. Think of the routing number as the address of DCU itself, and your account number as the address of your specific mailbox within that building.
Keeping your account number secure
Your account number is safe to share with employers, payroll services, and organizations that need to deposit money into your account or collect payments from it. However, do not share it in response to unsolicited emails, texts, or phone calls, even if the sender claims to be from DCU.
DCU will never ask you to confirm your full account number via email or text. If someone contacts you claiming to be from DCU and asks for this information, hang up or delete the message and call DCU directly at 1-800-328-8797 to report it. Scammers sometimes pose as banks to trick members into revealing account details, so always verify by calling the official number yourself rather than using a number provided in the suspicious message.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my member number?
No. Your member number is a separate identifier that DCU uses to track your membership. Your account number is specific to your checking account. You will see both on your statements, but they serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.
Can I change my account number?
No, DCU does not allow members to change their account numbers. If you are concerned about fraud or unauthorized access, contact DCU member service to discuss your options, which may include closing the account and opening a new one.
What if I see multiple account numbers on my DCU statements?
If you have more than one account with DCU (such as a checking account and a savings account), each one has its own unique account number. The statement will show which number belongs to which account type.
Do I need my account number to call DCU customer service?
No. You can call DCU member service without your account number. They will ask for your Social Security number and other identifying information to verify who you are, then they can look up your account details.
Where do I find my account number if I have not received a statement yet?
Log into your online banking account or mobile app — your account number appears there immediately. If you have not yet set up online access, call member service at 1-800-328-8797 and they can provide it after verifying your identity.
