What is an ABA number/routing number?
An ABA number (also known as routing number or routing transfer number) is
a sequence of nine numeric characters used by banks to identify specific
financial institutions within the United States. An ABA number is used for
wires and electronic automatic clearing house (ACH) transactions such as
electronic funds transfer, direct deposit, direct payment of consumer
bills, e-checks, and tax payments, among others.
Your ABA is not always the same as the routing number printed on your bank
checks, so please contact your bank for the appropriate ABA number.
