Additional Information
Routing Number? Please Explain This To Me Like I'm Five.
It is a number issued by the American Bankers Association that identifies the individual bank in question. It has a few different names, such as Routing Transit Number and American Bankers Association number. In order to do business in the US, all US banks must have a routing number.
Why does a bank need a routing number?
First, they need it because the law requires it. Second, they need it for practical logistical reasons. It is used to route money transfers, such as check payments or direct deposits. Without it, they are dead in the water and cannot move funds.
Where can I find this on my checks?
The routing number can be found at the bottom of the check. It may precede or follow the checking account number. This same line will also contain the check number for the check in question. These three pieces of information are needed to give each check full and unique identification for purposes of moving money between accounts.

The routing number always appears on the very bottom of a check. It can either appear before or after the checking account number. The Centennial Bank places the routing number in the left-most corner, before the account number.
The routing number is the one that is both preceded by and followed by an odd symbol that looks a little bit like a frowning face. This symbol brackets the routing number, setting it off from other numbers on the same line.
The Purpose of the Routing Number
It is needed any time you want to move money into or out of your bank account. If you file your taxes online and want the money direct deposited to your account, you will be asked for the routing number and your checking account number.

What Is a Routing Number?
Banks use routing numbers to identify each other during monetary transfers, or what the American Bankers Association called “negotiable instruments.” These numbers are comprised of nine digits and contain unique chunks of information. For example, a routing number identifies different regional branches and the individual bank they’re a part of, which is why you see different branches using the same routing number. However, two different banks cannot share the same routing number.

Banks Can Have Multiple Routing Numbers
Yes, as First Citizen shows, banks can have multiple routing numbers. Whether a bank uses different routing numbers for different states usually depends on both its size and whether it has a history of mergers and acquisitions. It also depends on which transaction the number is used for. For example, First Citizens uses a different routing number for wire transfers than it does for direct deposits. Other banks that use multiple routing numbers include Wells Fargo and Citibank.
