What is my member number? Is it different from my account number?

Your member number is the number all your related accounts are bundled under. Many Webster First members have a checking, savings, and investment account all associated with the same member number. Your member number is listed on the top of your printed statements or eStatements. (Please note, your statement may list “Account Number” in the top left, as shown below.)

 

Under your member number, each individual account will have its own account or MICR number. In most cases, each account number contains your member number. Your account number can be obtained from your checks, online banking, or the mobile app.
