The screen displays the accounts which have these numbers in them. Click on the desired account.

Similarly, the search can be done using partial account number with asterisks.

Advanced Search

You can also conduct the search using multiple fields, when you click the tab “Advanced Search”. In this screen, the system provides multiple fields to fill out to limit the search.
