account number

Unique financial code

An account number is a unique sequence of digits assigned to identify a specific account—bank accounts, credit cards, utility services, or customer records.

It distinguishes your account from all others in a system: The account number appears at the bottom of your checks.

Often used with routing numbers for financial transactions.
