Locating your bank routing number and account number

PLEASE NOTE: When entering your bank routing number and account number in the Edquity interface, please triple-check that you entered these numbers correctly. If you enter even a single digit incorrectly, the money will not end up in your bank account.

What is a bank routing number?

In the U.S., banks and other financial institutions use a routing number to identify themselves. A bank routing number is made up of nine digits and is used to process checks and digital transfers like direct deposits and bill payments.

How do I find my bank routing number and my bank account number?

You can find this information at the bottom of a check or on your bank's website.

On a check:

The following bullets explain where you can find your bank routing and account numbers on a check:

  • The first 9 digits in the lower left corner of an official paper check are the routing number.
  • The set of digits just to the right of the routing number is your bank account number. This number is usually somewhere between 4 and 17 digits long.
  • The set of digits just to the right of your bank account number is the check number. This number is not needed to facilitate a direct deposit from Edquity to your bank account.

Online:

Banks often list their routing numbers on their websites. Typically, you can easily find your routing number after securely logging into your bank account online, either through your bank’s website or through its mobile app. Once you’re logged in, you can typically find information like your account number, routing number, and more through your online account dashboard. If you're having any trouble locating this information, please contact your bank.
