Finding Your ACH Account or Routing Number
Note: AdvicePay supports United States checking accounts only. We don't support debiting or paying out funds to savings accounts.
Using savings account information will result in a failed payment/payout.
Not sure what numbers to enter when manually adding your checking account in AdvicePay? There are several ways to locate your correct account and routing numbers, so let's take a look!
Method 1: Check your Check!
If you have a paper check available, you can easily find your account and routing numbers directly on your check.
As displayed below, your routing number is the 9-digit number and generally the first number at the bottom located between the two ⑆ symbols. Your account number is usually directly to its right and can range up to 17 digits long.
Method 2: Log into Online Banking
If you log into your online bank account, most banks allow you to find your account number easily - it's typically one of the first things you'll see. To locate it, find some options in your online bank account that reference Account Details, Additional Details, etc.
The number you're looking for will be exactly 9 digits long and may be referred to as a routing number, electronic ABA routing number, ACH routing number, or routing/transit number.
Did you know? If you have your online banking login info handy, you can choose to quick link your checking account on AdvicePay instead of manually entering the details.
We support over 500 major banks by linking this way via our integration with Stripe. The difference between linking and manual entry is linking will automatically pull in your account and routing numbers.
Method 3: Check your Bank's Website
Most banks have their routing numbers listed directly on their website. Some banks have different routing numbers for different bank locations, so it's important to double-check using your bank's routing number registry.
Below is a guide that will help you find the routing numbers for numerous banks:
Citibank
The ABA or routing number is located at the lower left corner of a check. If you do not have your checkbook handy but you have written a check in the last 18 months, then you can see the check image on your Account Details page by selecting "view image".
- Check your check if it's available. The numbers on the bottom are what you're looking for;
- Your bank's website will usually have the routing number available somewhere;
- You can typically find both your account and routing numbers by logging into your online banking;
- You can always contact your bank to get the information! It might be worth specifying that you're looking for an ACH routing number instead of just saying "routing number" in the event that the usual routing number is a wire routing number.
