what is your routing and account number
The account number works in conjunction with the routing number. While the routing number identifies the name of the financial institution (see Types of Financial Institutions And Their Roles.), the account number â usually between eight and 10 digits â identifies your individual account.
The routing number (which is sometimes referred to as an ABA) is a sequence of nine digits used by banks to identify specific financial institutions within the U.S. This number proves the bank is a federal- or state-chartered institution and that it maintains an account with the Federal Reserve.
