Where to find your account number in Chase online banking

Your Chase checking account number appears in several places in your online account. The fastest route is to log into Chase.com, go to your checking account, and look at the account summary page — your full account number is displayed there, usually near the top under your account name. You can also find it on any check you have written, printed on the bottom left in the standard banking format.

If you use the Chase mobile app, open it, tap the checking account you want, and tap the account details or info icon (usually a small circle with an "i"). Your account number will appear there. Some versions of the app show it on the main account screen without needing to tap anything.

Another reliable place is your monthly statement. Log into Chase.com, go to Statements, download your most recent PDF, and your account number is printed at the top of the first page. Paper statements mailed to your address also show it prominently.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Chase checking account number is visible on the account summary page when you log into Chase.com or the mobile app.
  • Any check you have written shows your account number on the bottom left, in the standard nine-digit format used by banks.
  • Your monthly statement, whether downloaded as a PDF or received by mail, displays your account number at the top.
  • The account number is different from your routing number; Chase's routing number is 021000021 for most U.S. locations, but confirm with your statement if you need it for wire transfers.

What the account number looks like and where it sits on the page

Your Chase checking account number is a nine-digit code. On the Chase website, it appears on the account summary page — the main screen you see after clicking on your checking account. It is usually displayed in a section labeled "Account Details" or "Account Information," often with your account type (like "Chase Total Checking") and your current balance.

On a check, the account number is the middle set of numbers at the bottom. The format is: routing number (nine digits) | account number (nine digits) | check number. The account number sits between the routing number on the left and the check number on the right.

In the Chase mobile app, tap your checking account tile, then look for a details button or information icon. Some versions show the account number directly on the account screen; others require you to tap into account settings or details first.

Using the account number for transfers and payments

When you set up a direct deposit, external transfer, or wire transfer, Chase will ask for your account number. This is the nine-digit code you found above. You will also need your routing number, which for Chase is 021000021 in most U.S. states, though a few states use different routing numbers — your statement will show which one applies to your account.

For ACH transfers (the standard method for moving money between banks), you need both your account number and routing number. For wire transfers, you may also need your bank's SWIFT code, which is CHASUS33 for Chase. The Chase website or your statement will confirm all three if you are unsure.

Never share your full account number with anyone who contacts you by phone or email claiming to be from Chase. Chase will never ask you to confirm your account number in an unsolicited call or message. If someone asks for it, hang up or delete the message and call Chase directly at the number on your statement.

Difference between account number and routing number

Your account number identifies your specific checking account at Chase. Your routing number identifies the Chase branch or processing center that handles your account. Both are required for most transfers, but they serve different purposes.

The routing number is the same for all Chase customers in your region (or the same for most, depending on your state). Your account number is unique to you. Think of the routing number as the address of the bank and the account number as the address of your specific account within that bank.

On a check, the routing number comes first (leftmost), and the account number comes second (middle). Both are printed in magnetic ink at the bottom of the check so they can be read by automated sorting machines.

What to do if you cannot see your account number online

If you log into Chase.com and your account number is not visible on the account summary page, try refreshing the page or logging out and back in. Sometimes the page needs to reload to display all account details.

If you still do not see it, check whether you are looking at the right account. If you have multiple Chase accounts, make sure you have clicked on your checking account specifically, not a savings account or credit card.

If the account number remains hidden after these steps, call Chase customer service at the number on your statement or debit card. They can confirm your account number over the phone after verifying your identity. This is a legitimate reason to call — Chase expects customers to need this information.

Account number security and when to share it

Your account number is semi-public information. It appears on every check you write, so anyone who receives a check from you sees it. However, your account number alone cannot be used to withdraw money or open new accounts — a thief would also need your routing number, and even then, most transactions require additional verification.

It is safe to share your account number and routing number with your employer (for direct deposit), your landlord (for rent payments), or other entities you trust to receive payments from you. It is not safe to share it with someone who calls you unexpectedly or emails you asking to "confirm" it.

If you believe your account number has been compromised or misused, call Chase immediately. They can monitor your account for fraud and, if necessary, close the account and issue you a new one with a new account number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my debit card number?

No. Your debit card number is a 16-digit number printed on the front of your card. Your account number is a nine-digit code used for bank transfers and direct deposits. They are separate identifiers, and you should never use your debit card number for ACH transfers or direct deposit setup.

Can I change my account number?

Chase does not allow you to change your account number yourself. If you want a new account number, you would need to close your current checking account and open a new one. This is rarely necessary unless you believe your account has been compromised. Call Chase to discuss whether this is the right step for your situation.

What if I need my account number but do not have a check or access to online banking?

Call Chase customer service at the number on your debit card or statement. They will verify your identity and provide your account number over the phone. You can also visit a Chase branch in person with a valid ID, and a teller can write it down for you.

Do I need both my account number and routing number for every payment?

Most ACH transfers and direct deposits require both. Wire transfers also require both, plus your bank's SWIFT code. Bill payments made through Chase's bill pay feature do not require you to enter these numbers — Chase handles it internally. Check with the organization requesting the information if you are unsure whether you need one or both.
