What is my routing number?

Answer 1

your routing number is the (usually) 9 digit number on the bottom of your checks. the three numbers starting left to right are 1) the routing number 2) your account number and 3) the check number. The check number is also on the top right of your check. If you ran out of checks or don't have any (because you have a savings account or something) just go to your branch and ask. The routing numbers are different for each institution and each state. It is basically used to record where you bank. For example TD Banknorth in Massachusetts is: 211370545 but Sovereign in Massachusetts is: 011075150.
