常问问题
-
What is an ABA routing number?
An ABA routing number is a 9-digit code assigned by the American Bankers Association to identify financial institutions in the United States. It is used for wire transfers, direct deposits, and check processing.
-
How does the ABA checksum algorithm work?
The algorithm multiplies each digit by a weight (3, 7, 1, repeating), sums the products, and checks if the total is divisible by 10. If the remainder is 0, the routing number is valid.
-
What do the first two digits of a routing number mean?
The first two digits identify the Federal Reserve district that processes the routing number. Values range from 00 (US Government) to 80, with ranges 01-48 for paper checks and 61-80 for electronic transactions.
