As @Teja says, you need to use .addMethod with a regular expression. I believe this should work:

$.validator.addMethod("accountnumber", function(value, element) {
    return this.optional(element) || /^(\w{2})?\d{6}$/.test(value);
}, "Please enter a valid account number");


$("#form").validate({
    rules: {
        account: {
            accountnumber: true
        }
    }

});

Use the addMethod method on the validation plugin as shown in the example and modify the regex to match your criteria..
