A credit card number is usually located on the card's front side, above the cardholder's name. Conventional credit card numbers are 15 or 16 digits long and often displayed in sets of four. The actual pattern depends on the card type and issuer.

Besides your physical card, you can usually find your card number on billing statements and in your profile online or in your bank's mobile app. Your credit card account number by itself usually isn't available for you to view. This helps protect your information.
