Where can you find the routing number on a paper check?
The ABA Check Routing Number displayed below exists on any check issued by a US bank.
In some cases, the order of the checking account number and check serial number is reversed.
Your bank routing number is a 9-digit code used to identify a financial institution in a transaction. It's based on the location of the bank where your account was opened. It is also referred to as an RTN, a routing transit number or an ABA routing number and can be easily be found printed on the bottom left side of your check. You can also find your routing number in your online banking portal.
The most common types of encountered transactions are ACH and wire transfers. Some banks and financial institutions usually have multiple routing numbers serving different purposes, geographical regions, and branches. The Federal Reserve Banks require routing numbers to process Fedwire funds transfers and the ACH network requires them to process electronic funds transfers (for example direct deposits and bill payments).

Routing numbers are mainly used for financial transactions and here are some of the most common situations when you need to use one:
Not all routing numbers are the same. Banks use different numbers for different types of transactions. The routing number on a paper check might not always be the same number you'll need for an ACH transfer or direct debit.
If you’re unsure which routing number is required for a particular transaction, you should get in touch with your bank otherwise you may be risking delays in processing your transfer.
The ABA Check Routing Number displayed below exists on any check issued by a US bank.
The numbers that make up a routing number can be broken up in 3 parts, each having a distinct meaning.
Here are several ways available to you to find your ABA routing number:
For your bank to process the payment quickly and securely, you should always check routing numbers with your bank or your recipient.
If you're planning to send or receive money through your bank, you will likely come across unfamiliar terms such as routing number (ABA), SWIFT / BIC code, IBAN, and sort code. What exactly are these acronyms, and what are they used for? Well, all of them seemingly do much of the same thing which is to help banks identify where your money needs to go when being transferred, but each is required in specific situations because different countries and banks have different processes and requirements.
Routing numbers are 9-digit codes used in the US to identify banks when processing domestic ACH payments or wire transfers. These are not required when making payments outside the United States.
SWIFT / BIC codes are 8 or 11-digit codes that uniquely identify banks and financial institutions worldwide. Unlike routing numbers, these codes are used for international payments.
IBANs are international bank account numbers that identify the country, financial institution, and individual bank accounts. They're mainly issued by banks in the Eurozone, but other countries are starting to adopt them as well.
Sort Codes are 6-digit numbers used for domestic transfers in the United Kingdom which identify the bank and the branch where a bank account is held.
Note: This website provides a quick and easy way to search & find routing numbers for banks and other financial institutions in the United States. If you're not sure which routing number to use contact your bank directly. You can call your bank using the phone number listed on your debit/credit card or send a message through your online banking system. Using the wrong routing number can lead to delays in processing the transfer.
