It’s important to know which routing number to use to ensure the funds you’re sending or receiving go to the correct account.
What Is a Routing Number?
Banks use routing numbers to identify each other during monetary transfers, or what the American Bankers Association calls “negotiable instruments.” These numbers are comprised of nine digits and contain unique chunks of information. The first four digits are the Federal Reserve routing symbol, the next four digits are the ABA institution identifier and the last digit is known as the check digit.
Banks Can Have Multiple Routing Numbers
As First Citizens Bank 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 Bank of America, Member FDIC.
How Do You Find a Routing Number on a Check?
