What Is a Routing Number?

Banks use routing numbers to identify each other. Routing numbers have nine digits that contain chunks of information that confirm the identities of the financial institutions involved in banking transactions. The history of routing numbers stretches back over a century. The American Bankers Association formerly introduced them back in 1910. Originally used to identify check-processing endpoints, the routing number now serves a variety of functions, including online payment processing.

How Do You Find a Routing Number on a Check?

The routing number on a check is located in the bottom-left corner, right before your account number. If you ever find a different routing number on your check than the one on your bank’s website, it likely means that the routing number was assigned based on your bank’s location.
