How can I get my banks ABA #?

Question

I am trying to get my credit unions aba number. I tried emailing them, they will not answer me back. I emailed them twice. It is point plus credit union. Any Ideas? I need it by tomorrow at 5 am. I have to go to work and they need it for the oreintation tomorrow.

Answer 1

A banks ABA# (also known as the routing number) is on your checks...it is the 1st nine digits on the check. If you only have a savings account with them you will need to call because most banks (especially credit unions) do not put the routing number on their savings account slips.

Banks will not respond to emails requesting account inforation (even a routing number) because they can easily be from someone other than the account holder and there is no way to verify that you are the one requesting the information.

If you tried to email your bank today you probably did not get a response because it is Columbus day and most banks across the country are closed.

The good news is that your new employer cannot force you to direct deposit...they may tell you that is the only way they pay, but it is illegal to force an employee to direct deposit...so you have time to obtain the information. You just show up tomorrow and tell your new employer that today was Columbus Day and your bank was closed and you could not get their ABA#. Tell them that you will gladly accept a check or if they can wait you can get the information later.

Answer 2

I don't know if it's true of all credit unions, but my credit union the routing number on the bottom of my checks is NOT the routing number for direct deposits.

Call them and ask for the number.

Answer 3

if you have personal checks or deposit/withdrawal slips for your account, the ABA is the first 9 digits on the bottom of the check.

Answer 4

Have you tried calling customer service. Usually they are happy to provide this information if it means that money is going to get deposited with them.
