Does Coinbase Have Account Numbers?

As of February 2018, Coinbase does not have account numbers. This is because Coinbase is not a bank. Instead, Coinbase is a digital currency exchange.

As such, it is not subject to the same regulations as banks. This means that Coinbase does not have to follow the same rules as banks when it comes to things like account numbers.

NOTE: Warning: Coinbase does not have account numbers. Coinbase operates with unique wallet IDs and addresses that are associated with your account. Do not attempt to use an account number when making transactions on Coinbase.

This can be seen as a good or a bad thing. On the one hand, it allows Coinbase to offer its customers more privacy.

On the other hand, it also means that Coinbase is not subject to the same level of scrutiny as banks.
