How to find your debit card number

Understand the different parts of a debit card and educate yourself on what each number means like the debit card number, CVV code and the expiration date.

When you swipe your debit card, you may not pay attention to what the numbers on your card mean. But knowing how to quickly find your debit card number, Card Verification Value (CVV) code, and the expiration date is essential for online purchases and using your debit card over the phone.

Your debit card information explained

Debit card number

The 16 digits on your card is your debit card number. It is unique to your checking account, but different from your account number. You'll have to read off or enter this number when making a purchase over the phone or online. This is the most important number on the card, so be protective of this information.

Debit card CVV code

A CVV code is a three- or four-digit code (depending on your credit card company) and is also known as the security code. On Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards, you can find the three-digit number on the back of your card. If you have an American Express card, this four-digit number is on the front. The CVV code is another added measure of security to protect your bank account.

Debit card expiration date

On your debit card, there is a date that is listed next to the phrase “valid thru.” Your debit card is valid until the end of the month of that year (MM/YY). You should receive a new debit card in the mail from the bank before your current card expires.

Debit card EMV chip

A Europay, Mastercard, and Visa (EMV) microchip is located on the front of your card and is used to protect you from fraud. The addition of this advanced technology gives you and your bank account extra fraud protection, as the data on the chip is more difficult to duplicate than the data on the card’s magnetic strip.
