Your Chime account number is not printed on your physical Chime card. To find your chime account number, you must log into the Chime mobile app or the website at chime.com, navigate to the "Move Money" section, and select "Direct Deposit."
Where to find your Chime account number
The immediate answer is that your Chime account number is never on the physical card. The primary method to find it is via the Move Money > Direct Deposit path in the Chime app or on the Chime website. Once you are logged in, your checking account number will be clearly displayed on that screen, alongside your nine-digit routing number. If you ever need to secure this account, you can change my chime card pin right from the app's settings.
Step-by-step: Find your account number in the Chime app
Follow these detailed steps to locate your account number using the Chime mobile app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Open the Chime app and log in to your account using your username and password.
- From the home screen, tap the "Move Money" section.
- Within the "Move Money" menu, select the "Direct Deposit" option.
- Your Checking Account Number will be clearly displayed on this screen. It is typically eight to twelve digits in length.
- Your nine-digit routing number, which identifies the bank rather than your specific account, is also shown here.
How to locate your account number on the Chime website
The process for finding your account number on the Chime website mirrors the app experience. Log in to your account at chime.com, then follow the same Move Money > Direct Deposit path.
- Go to chime.com and click the "Log In" button. Enter your username and password.
- Once logged in, navigate to the "Move Money" section from your account dashboard.
- Click on the "Direct Deposit" option.
- Your Checking Account Number will be displayed on this page, along with your routing number.
Why you need your Chime account and routing numbers
You will need both your account number and routing number for various transactions. Your account number is a unique identifier specifically for your individual Chime account, assigned by the financial institution when you open an account. Common use cases include setting up direct deposit with your employer, paying bills, linking your Chime account to external financial applications, and sending or receiving money. You may also need to provide these numbers to receive government benefits, such as Social Security or unemployment deposits.
It is important to distinguish between the two numbers. Your account number (eight to twelve digits) identifies your specific account, while the routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies the bank. Both can be found together in the "Move Money" section under "Direct Deposit." Note that because Chime does not issue traditional paper checkbooks, you will not find these numbers printed on a physical check.
Knowing your account number also lets you take control of your card's security. For example, if your card is lost or stolen, you can use the app to lock your Chime card instantly to prevent unauthorized use.
What to do if you can't log in to your account
If you are locked out of your Chime account and cannot access the app or website, you can still retrieve your account number by contacting Chime's 24/7 customer support. After verifying your identity, a representative can provide your account number.
You can reach support through the live chat feature available in the Chime app (if you can partially access it) or by calling 1-844-244-6363. Be prepared to provide personal information to confirm your identity before the account number is shared with you.
