Back to Help CenterQ: Does my account number appear differently depending on its use?
Yes, your account number might look different depending on how it's used.
Most of the time, you'll see your account number as it appears on your account-opening documents. It is 1 to 8 digits long (for example, 123456).
Sometimes, like for direct deposits, your account number might be part of a longer number. In these cases, we add extra numbers at the beginning to determine if the money should go to checking, savings or a loan. For instance, the direct deposit number might look like this: 501000123456 or 021000123456.
If you’re not sure what number to use, or want to send money to a specific account, please call our service center for help.
