What Is The Golden 1 Routing Number?
Golden 1 Credit Union has one routing number for most of its branches and advises all customers to use this number for transactions like direct deposit and wire transfers. Four of its branches have a different routing number:
| Golden 1 Credit Union Branch | Routing Number |
| Golden 1 Credit Union Routing Number (Most Branches) | 321175261 |
| 1328 W. Hillsdale Blvd., San Mateo, CA Branch | 321076289 |

| 1273 N. Davis Rd., Salinas, CA Branch | 321175753 |
| 8379 Church St., Gilroy, CA Branch | 321178022 |
Knowing the correct Golden 1 routing number is important because this number is used for services like direct deposit and wire transfers that involve sending and receiving of money. Routing numbers are the standard way to identify the specific financial institution and location at which you have an account, and they pinpoint which institution is responsible for payment of a particular negotiable instrument like a check.
Some banks and credit unions restrict the use of certain routing numbers, so check with Golden 1 Credit Union before using a particular routing number for any financial transactions. The credit union advises all customers to use 321175261 when they sign up for Golden 1 Credit Union direct deposit services. To confirm this number, call Golden 1 customer service toll free at 877-465-3361.
How to Find Your Routing Number
If you have a Golden 1 checking account, you can also find your routing number on a check — the check routing number is the first nine numbers in the lower left corner. You might not have a check handy, however, so you can also call Golden 1 any time at 877-465-3361 to find the routing number for your account. If you are at all confused about which number to use, you should consider calling Golden 1 because using the right number could mean the difference between your money going into the right or wrong account.
How Do Credit Unions Get Routing Numbers?
A routing number is also called a routing transit number (RTN) or American Bankers Association (ABA) routing number. The Official ABA Registrar of Routing Numbers assigns these numbers to federal- or state-chartered institutions that are eligible to maintain accounts at a Federal Reserve bank. The first four numbers are the Federal Reserve Routing Symbol, and the first two numbers of that set are allocated to specific types of financial institutions or uses, with the “32” in the Golden 1 bank routing number indicating that it’s for checks, drafts and electronic transactions of thrift institutions. These two numbers are no longer used as of 1985, with 01 to 12 replacing them. The next four numbers are the ABA Institution Identifier, and the last number is the check digit.
