You might not have a check handy, however, so you can also call Associated Bank any time at 800-236-8866 to find the routing number for your account.

What Is a Routing Number?
A routing number is a nine-digit security code that identifies a financial institution. Routing numbers, also known as ABA numbers, were developed back in 1910, to identify check processing endpoints. Since then, routing numbers have “evolved to designate participants in automated clearinghouses, electronic funds transfers and online banking,” according to the American Bankers Association.
Can Banks Have Multiple Routing Numbers?
Yes, banks can have multiple routing numbers. Although Associated Bank only uses one, larger banks, such as Wells Fargo and Citibank, use different routing numbers for different states. One of the reasons banks use multiple routing numbers stems from past mergers with other banks. However Associated Bank, despite having been through mergers and serving multiple states, only lists one routing number on its website.
How Do You Find a Routing Number on a Check?
The routing number on a check is located in the bottom-left corner, along with your account number. The unusual font that the routing number is written with is a form of what’s known as a magnetic ink character recognition code, which allows machines to read the check.
What Is the Routing Number for International Transfers?
SWIFT codes, also known as bank identifier codes, or BIC codes, function as routing numbers for international wire transfers. In the event you want to receive or send funds outside of the U.S., you’ll be required to provide your bank’s SWIFT code. Associated Bank’s SWIFT code is:
| Associated Bank SWIFT Code |
| ABGBUS44 |
Like with routing numbers, it’s important to provide the correct SWIFT code so the funds go to the right account.
