On a standard U.S. personal check the account number is printed on the bottom in magnetic ink (MICR line). It is usually the middle group of numbers in the sequence along the bottom:
- left = routing (9 digits)
- middle = account number (varies in length)
- right = check number
Example: 012345678 123456789012 1234 — the middle group (123456789012) is the account number.
Note: Some banks place the check number in a different position, so if you're unsure, compare the bottom-right number to the check number printed at the top-right of the check or contact your bank. Don’t share your account number publicly.
