Routing Number Identifications

Routing number is very much required in many cases like making a payment by phone or online, or if you’re making automatic bill payments, processing checks or transferring money internationally, you’ll need to provide your account number and routing number. The first two digits of the routing number indicate the Federal Reserve district where the bank is located.

There are 12 districts: Boston, 01; New York, 02; Philadelphia, 03; Cleveland, 04; Richmond, Va., 05; Atlanta, 06; Chicago, 07; St. Louis, 08; Minneapolis, 09; Kansas City, Mo., 10; Dallas, 11; and San Francisco, 12. If the “bank” is actually a thrift, such as a credit union or savings and loan, the first digit will be increased by 2 — so 22 would be a thrift in the New York district, and 32 would be a thrift in the San Francisco district.

NOTE: Routing numbers on checks might be different from the routing numbers required for performing wire transfers.
