#Checkbook account number code
You might notice that the routing and account numbers at the bottom of the check look like symbols. A routing number is a nine-digit code used by financial institutions to identify other financial institutions. Because these numbers are readily available elsewhere on the check, the fractional number isn’t widely used anymore. The fractional number, usually placed toward the top right of your check, contains numbers that correspond with your bank, such as your routing number. That set of numbers is located at the far right along the bottom of your checks. The check number is used to identify the individual check. The routing number is first, at the far left. It is the second set of numbers printed at the bottom of your checks. This is the number that’s associated with the checking account from which the funds will be withdrawn. Some banks will have more than one routing number depending on their size, so always make sure you’re using the correct routing number before setting up these types of payments. You’ll also use your ABA routing number to set up direct deposit and recurring payments. This indicates the bank through which the funds will be withdrawn. The ABA routing number is a nine-digit number assigned to your bank by the American Bankers Association.
