Where to find your card number in the Chase app
Your credit card number appears in the Chase mobile app under your card details. Open the app, tap the card you want to view, and look for a section labeled "Card Details" or "Card Information" — the exact wording depends on which version of the app you have. Tap that section and your full 16-digit number displays on screen.
The number stays visible as long as you're looking at that screen. You can take a screenshot if you need to reference it later, though Chase recommends not storing screenshots of your full card number on your phone for security reasons. If you need the number for a one-time transaction, it's safer to read it directly from the app rather than saving it.
Key Takeaways

Step-by-step: locating your card number
Start by opening the Chase mobile app and signing in with your username and password. On the home screen, you'll see a list of your accounts — checking, savings, credit cards, and any other products you have with Chase.
Find the credit card you need the number for and tap it. The app will show you a summary of that card: your current balance, available credit, and recent transactions. Look for a button or link that says "Card Details," "Card Information," "View Card," or sometimes just an arrow or three dots (⋯) next to the card image. Tap that option.
The full card number now appears on screen, usually displayed as a long string of 16 digits. Your expiration date (the month and year your card expires) and your three-digit CVV security code are shown nearby. Write down or note whichever numbers you need. When you're done, you can navigate away or close the app — the number won't be saved anywhere unless you take a screenshot.
What information displays alongside your card number
When you view your card details in the Chase app, you see four pieces of information: the 16-digit card number, the expiration date, the CVV (Card Verification Value), and sometimes the cardholder name. The card number and expiration date are what merchants need to process a purchase. The CVV is the three-digit code on the back of your physical card, used for online or phone transactions to verify you have the card in your possession.
The cardholder name (usually your full name as it appears on the card) may also display. This is the name that must match what you provide when making a purchase, especially for high-value transactions or when the merchant is verifying your identity.
Why you might need your card number from the app
The most common reason to look up your card number in the app is to make an online purchase when your physical card isn't nearby. You might be traveling, your card is in another room, or you're using a device that doesn't have access to your wallet. Rather than getting up to find the card, you can pull the number from the app in seconds.
Another reason is to verify your card number if you're unsure whether you're using the right card for a transaction. If you have multiple Chase credit cards, the app makes it straightforward to confirm which number belongs to which card before you enter it into a payment form.
Some people also check the app to confirm their card number matches what they wrote down or what they have on file with a merchant, especially if a transaction was declined and they want to rule out a data-entry error.
Security considerations when viewing your card number
The Chase app requires you to be logged in to see your card number, which means your phone or device is already protected by your password. That's the first layer of security. However, once the number is visible on your screen, it's exposed to anyone who can see your phone — so avoid viewing it in public or in front of others if you're concerned about privacy.
Avoid taking screenshots of your card number and storing them in your phone's photo library or cloud storage. Screenshots are easier to access than the app itself if someone gains access to your device, and they persist even after you close the app. If you do take a screenshot, delete it as soon as you've used the number.
Never share your card number, expiration date, or CVV with anyone via email, text, or phone call, even if they claim to be from Chase. Chase employees will never ask for these details. If someone contacts you asking for your card information, it's a scam.
What to do if you can't see your card number in the app
If you tap your card and don't see a "Card Details" or "Card Information" option, your app version may display the information differently. Try tapping the card image itself, or look for a small arrow or menu icon (⋯) near the card. Some older versions of the Chase app hide the card details behind an additional tap or swipe.
If you've recently opened a new Chase credit card, it may take a few hours or up to a day for the card to appear in the app. During that time, you can still use the card for purchases, but the app might not display it yet. Check back later, or restart the app to refresh it.
If the card appears in your app but you still can't find the number, try updating the Chase app to the latest version. Outdated versions sometimes have display issues. Go to your phone's app store (Apple App Store or Google Play), search for "Chase Mobile," and tap "Update" if an update is available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see my card number if I'm not logged into the app?
No. The Chase app requires you to log in with your username and password before you can view any card details, including the card number. This is a security feature that prevents someone with access to your phone from seeing your financial information.
Does viewing my card number in the app count as a transaction?
No. Looking at your card details in the app does not trigger any transaction, charge, or alert from Chase. You can view your number as many times as you need without any impact on your account.
What's the difference between the CVV and the card number?
The card number is the 16-digit identifier for your account. The CVV is a separate three-digit security code printed on the back of your physical card. Online merchants often ask for the CVV to verify you have the physical card, since the CVV doesn't appear on receipts or statements.
If I view my card number in the app, do I need to worry about it being stolen?
Viewing your number in the app itself is safe — the app is encrypted and requires your login. The risk comes only if someone else sees your screen while the number is displayed, or if you take a screenshot and store it insecurely. Keep your phone find and avoid viewing your number in public.
Can I use the card number from the app the same way as my physical card?
Yes. The card number in the app is the same number printed on your physical card. You can use it for online purchases, phone orders, or any situation where you need to provide your card number. The number works identically whether you read it from the app or from the card itself.
