Your account number is on your debit card, checks, and online

Your Chase checking account number is a 10-digit code that identifies your specific account. You can find it in four places without calling or visiting a branch: on the front of your debit card, on any checks you have, in the Chase mobile app, or on your online banking dashboard.

The fastest route is your debit card. Look at the raised numbers on the front—the longest string is your card number, but below it in smaller print is your account number. If you do not have your card handy, log into Chase.com or open the Chase mobile app and look at your account details page, which displays your account number immediately.

Key Takeaways

  • Your 10-digit account number appears on your debit card in small print below the main card number.
  • The Chase mobile app and Chase.com both show your account number on the account details or dashboard page.
  • If you have checks, the account number is the second set of numbers printed at the bottom, between the routing number and the check number.
  • You do not need to call Chase to retrieve your account number—all self-service methods are instant.

Finding your account number on your debit card

The debit card method works if you have your card in front of you. Look at the front of the card. The large embossed numbers are your card number. Below those numbers, in smaller printed text, you will see your account number. It is typically 10 digits long and appears to the left of an expiration date or other small text.

If the print is hard to read, hold the card under bright light or use your phone's camera to zoom in on the image. The account number is always shorter than the card number and does not include letters.

Checking your account number online or in the app

Log into Chase.com using your username and password. Once you are signed in, your checking account will appear on the dashboard or accounts page. Click on the account name or the account tile. The account details page will display your account number prominently—usually near the top, labeled "Account Number" or "Checking Account Number."

The Chase mobile app works the same way. Open the app, sign in, and tap your checking account. Scroll to the account details or information section. Your account number will be displayed there. Both methods take less than a minute and work from any device with internet access.

Locating your account number on checks

If you have a checkbook, the account number is printed at the bottom of every check. Look at the bottom left of the check. You will see three sets of numbers separated by vertical lines or colons. The first set is your routing number (nine digits), the second set is your account number (10 digits), and the third is the check number.

The account number is always in the middle position. Write it down carefully—a single digit wrong will cause transfers or bill payments to fail. If your checks are old or the print is faded, use one of the other methods instead.

What to do if you cannot find your account number

If you do not have your card, checks, or access to online banking, you can call Chase customer service at the number on the back of any Chase card or statement. Have your Social Security number and a form of ID ready. A representative will verify your identity and provide your account number over the phone.

You can also visit a Chase branch in person with a government-issued ID. A teller can look up your account number in seconds. Both methods require identity verification but work if you have lost access to your card and do not remember your online banking password.

Why you need your account number

Your account number is required for direct deposits, wire transfers, ACH payments, and setting up automatic bill pay. Employers need it to deposit your paycheck. Utilities and loan servicers need it to withdraw payments. Banks need it when you transfer money between accounts or institutions.

Your account number is not sensitive information in the same way your card number or Social Security number is. You can safely share it with employers, billers, and other financial institutions. However, do not share it with anyone who contacts you unsolicited, as it can be combined with other information to commit fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my card number?

No. Your card number is 16 digits and appears in large raised print on the front of your debit card. Your account number is 10 digits and appears in smaller print below the card number. They are different identifiers for different purposes.

Can I change my account number?

No. Your account number is permanent and tied to your account. If you close the account and open a new one, you will receive a new account number. You cannot request a change to an existing account number.

What if I see multiple account numbers in my Chase profile?

If you have more than one Chase checking account, each one has its own account number. Log into Chase and look at your accounts list. Each account tile or line will show a different account number. Use the correct one for the account you are making a transaction from or to.

Do I need my account number to use my debit card at a store?

No. You only need your card number, expiration date, and CVV to make purchases. Your account number is used for bank-to-bank transfers, direct deposits, and bill payments—not for everyday card transactions.
