What Is a Routing Number?
Banks use routing numbers to identify each other during monetary transfers, or what the American Bankers Association called “negotiable instruments.” These numbers are comprised of nine digits and contain unique chunks of information. For example, a routing number identifies different regional branches and the individual bank they’re a part of, which is why you see different branches using the same routing number. However, two different banks cannot share the same routing number.

Banks Can Have Multiple Routing Numbers
Yes, as First Citizen shows, banks can have multiple routing numbers. Whether a bank uses different routing numbers for different states usually depends on both its size and whether it has a history of mergers and acquisitions. It also depends on which transaction the number is used for. For example, First Citizens uses a different routing number for wire transfers than it does for direct deposits. Other banks that use multiple routing numbers include Wells Fargo and Citibank.
