A routing number is a nine-digit number used to identify a U.S. financial institution for certain transfers and payments. Routing numbers may vary by bank, state, account type, transaction type, or merger history.
Where to find a routing number
- Your bank’s official website or mobile app.
- Your checks, if you have a checking account.
- Your monthly statement.
- Your bank’s customer support.
- The official Federal Reserve E-Payments Routing Directory.
Use caution
Do not enter bank login details, debit card numbers, or full account numbers into unofficial lookup tools. If a payment is important, confirm the routing number directly with the bank before sending money.
Common mistakes
