Where to find your account number on a Chase statement or card
Your Chase checking account number appears on the bottom left of every paper statement you receive, printed after the routing number and before the check number. If you have a Chase debit card, the account number is also embossed or printed on the card itself — it's the longer number on the front, separate from the card number. The easiest route is to look at a recent statement or your physical card if you have one in front of you right now.
If you've misplaced both, you can retrieve your account number through Chase online banking or the Chase mobile app within seconds. Log in with your username and password, then navigate to your checking account details. The account number will display prominently on the account summary page, and you can also find it by clicking "Account Details" or a similar option depending on which version of the Chase platform you're using.
Key Takeaways
- Your Chase checking account number is printed on the bottom left of paper statements and embossed on your debit card.
- You can view your account number instantly by logging into Chase online banking or the mobile app and opening your account details.
- If you call Chase customer service, have your Social Security number and other identifying information ready to verify your identity before they share your account number.
- Never share your full account number with anyone unless you initiated the contact and know exactly why they need it.
Accessing your account number through Chase online banking
Log into your Chase account at chase.com using your username and password. Once you're logged in, look for your checking account in the "Accounts" or "My Accounts" section — it will usually appear as a list of your accounts with their balances. Click on the checking account you need information for.
The account details page will display your full account number near the top. Some versions of Chase online banking also show a "Copy" button next to the account number, which lets you copy it directly to your clipboard without typing it out. This is the fastest method if you're at a computer and need the number for a wire transfer, direct deposit setup, or other transaction.
Finding your account number in the Chase mobile app
Open the Chase mobile app and sign in with your credentials. Tap on your checking account from the list of accounts shown on the home screen. The account summary page will display your account number — you may need to tap "Account Details" or a similar option to see the full number if it's partially hidden for security.
The mobile app also allows you to copy your account number directly. Some users find the app faster than logging into the website, especially if you already have it installed on your phone. The account number shown in the app is the same one printed on your statements and debit card.
Calling Chase customer service to retrieve your account number
If you don't have online access or prefer to speak with someone, call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your debit card or at 1-800-935-9935. Have your Social Security number, date of birth, and the phone number associated with your account ready. Chase will verify your identity using this information before sharing your account number over the phone.
Wait times vary depending on the time of day and day of the week. Calling during business hours on a weekday typically results in shorter hold times. Once verified, the representative will read your account number to you or confirm it if you provide it first. Write it down immediately so you don't have to call back.
What your account number is used for
Your Chase checking account number is required for setting up direct deposit from your employer or government benefits, arranging automatic bill payments, receiving wire transfers, and providing to creditors or financial institutions that need to verify your account. It's also needed if you're setting up ACH transfers between your Chase account and another bank.
The account number alone cannot be used to withdraw money or make unauthorized transactions — a thief would also need your routing number, PIN, or online banking password. That said, treat your account number with the same care you'd give any financial information. Don't share it in emails, texts, or over the phone unless you initiated the contact and know exactly why the other party needs it.
Difference between your account number and other Chase numbers
Your account number is specific to your checking account and is used for transfers and deposits. Your routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies Chase as your bank and is the same for all Chase customers in your region — it appears on the bottom left of your statement before your account number. Your debit card number is the 16-digit number embossed on the front of your card and is different from your account number.
For direct deposit and wire transfers, you'll need both your account number and routing number. For online bill pay through Chase, you typically only need your account number. If someone asks for just one of these numbers, make sure you understand which one they actually need before providing it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see my account number if I don't have a debit card?
Yes. Log into Chase online banking or call customer service. You don't need a physical card to access your account number — it's tied to your checking account, not the card itself. If your card was lost or cancelled, your account number remains the same.
Is my account number the same as my card number?
No. Your debit card number is the 16-digit number on the front of your card. Your account number is a separate, shorter number that appears on statements and in online banking. They serve different purposes — the card number is for purchases and ATM withdrawals, while the account number is for transfers and deposits.
What should I do if I think someone has my account number?
Contact Chase immediately at 1-800-935-9935 or through the mobile app. An account number alone doesn't allow someone to withdraw money, but it's still worth reporting. Chase can monitor your account for suspicious activity and advise you on next steps if needed.
Do I need my account number to set up direct deposit?
Yes. Your employer or the organization sending the deposit will ask for your account number and routing number. You can find both on a recent statement or in your Chase online banking account details.
