I want to have direct deposit but I need a routing number. What is a routing number?

Answer 1

On the bottom of a check, there are usually two series of numbers. The group of numbers in the lower left are the "routing and transmittal" numbers that you are referring to, and need for direct deposit. The numbers to the right of that are usually your checking account numbers, followed by a check number that corresponds to the check number in the upper right. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

If you look at your personal checks, the routing number is the first set of numbers, usually 9 digits long and beginning with a zero. Your account number is the second set of numbers. The last set is the check number.

You can also call your bank and they will be able to give you the checking account and savings account routing numbers.

Answer 3

The routing number is printed across the bottom of your personal checks and is the number that tells which bank to send it to. Usually when you start direct deposit the payer can ask for one of your checks marked void to obtain the routing number. Otherwise you can copy the entire line of numbers off the bottom of your personal check for the account you wish to use from left to right .

Answer 4

Open up your check book and look at a check.

The number at the lower left corner is the routing number for your bank. It's typically 9 digits.

Answer 5

A number the bank will give you which routes incoming funds to the bank and eventually to your account (given the account number also)

Answer 6
