How to Find Your Bank Routing Number

Your routing number (also called an ABA routing number or routing transit number) is a 9-digit code that identifies your bank. You need it for direct deposit, wire transfers, automatic bill payments, and tax refunds.

5 Ways to Find Your Routing Number

1. On Your Check

The routing number is the first set of 9 digits at the bottom left of any check. It's printed in a special MICR font and is usually preceded and followed by special symbols (⑆).

2. Through Online Banking

Log into your bank's website or mobile app. Your routing number is usually found in your account details or settings section.

3. On Your Bank's Website

Most banks list their routing numbers on their website. Search for "[your bank name] routing number" and look for the official bank page.

4. Call Your Bank

Call the customer service number on the back of your debit card. A representative can provide your routing number.

5. Use VoidedCheck.com

Search for your bank on VoidedCheck.com to find the correct routing number for your region.

Important: Routing Numbers Vary by Region

Many large banks have multiple routing numbers depending on where you opened your account. For example:

• Chase has over 50 routing numbers across different states
• Bank of America has over 170 routing numbers
• Wells Fargo has over 130 routing numbers

Always use the routing number associated with where your account was opened, not where you currently live.

How to Verify Your Routing Number

Every routing number includes a built-in checksum digit. You can verify your routing number is valid using the ABA check digit formula:

The routing number is valid if: (3×d1 + 7×d2 + d3 + 3×d4 + 7×d5 + d6 + 3×d7 + 7×d8 + d9) mod 10 = 0
