Is the routing number on a check the same as the bank routing number?


Asked by Truett Larsen on Dec 11, 2021 FAQ



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.
In addition,
Verify a Routing Number With a Financial Institution. The easiest and most direct method of verifying a routing number involves contacting the financial institution that the number reportedly belongs to. If you have received a check, or have taken down a check's information over the phone or online, then you should have the financial institution's name. Call and confirm the routing number.
Similarly, No, you would need to check with your bank for your account and routing number if you do not have a check available. June 4, 2019 1:31 PM How do i find my account number without a check?
Indeed,
You can find your checking account routing number printed on the bottom of your checks. Look at the line of numbers at the bottom left directly under the "Memo" area. The first nine digits printed on the check are the routing number for your bank.
Thereof,
While the routing number identifies the name of the financial institution, the account number—usually between eight and 12 digits—identifies your individual account. If you hold two accounts at the same bank, the routing numbers will, in most cases, be the same, but your account numbers will be different.
