What is a Routing Number?

A bank account routing number is a 9-digit code, used in the United States, that is assigned to a bank or credit union so that it can make transactions with other financial institutions. This number helps identify where the customer originally opened the account. It is used to eliminate any confusion that could arise from banks or credit unions having similar names.

You need your routing number for many tasks, including:

ACH payments
Setting up direct deposit
Receiving government benefits, including tax refunds
Transferring money between banks or investment firms
Automatic bill payment
Domestic wire transfers

Each account with Chase has a specific number tailored to the customer's identity. Instead of relying on peoples' names that might be too similar, a number is given to you when you open an account.
