What is a bank account number?

The bank account number is a 10-digit number that is usually given to you, when you have followed all the due process it takes to open a bank account with any bank. With this 10-digit number, people can send money to your bank account at any time.

The following are some of the ways you can check your bank account number:

1. USSD
2. Mobile app
3. Internet banking
4. Statement of account
5. Customer care
6. Social media
7. ATM

USSD

One of the fastest ways to get your bank account number is by using your bank USSD, all you have to do is dial the USSD code for checking bank account balance, follow the on-screen prompts, and your account number will most likely be displayed on your screen.

Usually, checking your account balance will attract a little amount of money. So If you don’t want this, then you can move on to the other options.

Mobile app

Another way to check your bank account number is by using your bank mobile app. You will need to download the app from the app store or playstore and install it in your device, then proceed to registering on the app.

If you have already registered, then you will have to login with your user ID and password. Navigate to your account dashboard, and you will be able to locate your account number (mostly written alongside your bank name and account balance).

Internet banking

You can also check your account number using internet banking. If you have already registered for your bank internet banking, then all you have to do is login to your account and you can easily find your account number written on your dashboard.

Statement of account

Many Nigerian banks send their customers monthly account statements to their email address in pdf format, you can easily download any one of these files attached in the email, and if you look closely, you will find your account number written on it.

The bank statement is a summary of all the transactions that took place on your account for that month.

You can reach out to your bank customer care, via phone or email and request for your bank account number. They may require you to provide a few information in order to prove that you are the owner of the bank account, before they will reveal your bank account number to you.

To get your bank customer care details, you can visit the official website of your bank and navigate to the customer support area.

Social media

You can also find your bank’s verified social media handles, follow them and request for your account number. The admin of the page will get back to you and request you provide certain details about your bank account, before they will reveal your bank account number to you.

Always make sure you only contact verified accounts, if you are not sure about the account, then do not contact them.
