Other Ways to Find Your Capital One Routing Number

© CreditDonkey

Use a Check
Find the routing number in the lower left-hand corner of the check corresponding to your checking account. It's the first 9 digits located at the bottom of each check.

Go Online
Access your online bank statement by logging in to your account. To the right of your account number will be your Capital One bank entity. Once you know your bank entity, you can determine your routing number using the list provided above.

Call Customer Service
If you don't have online checking or a check handy, call Capital One at 888-810-4013. After you provide a few details to identify yourself, a representative will be able to confirm your account's routing number.

Routing Numbers for Domestic/International Wire Transfers

Wire transfers are a faster way to send money than an ACH transfer, though they typically cost a small fee. In order to send a wire, you'll need to fill out Capital One's Outbound Wire Request Form and mail/fax it for processing.

To Make a Domestic Wire Transfer
Use the routing number that corresponds with your account's bank entity. The Capital One Bank (USA), N.A. routing number for wire transfers is the same as the routing number used for direct deposits and ACH transfers.

You'll also need the following information for domestic wires:

• The name of the person to whom you're wiring funds (the "beneficiary") as it appears on their account

• The name and address of the beneficiary's bank

• The routing number of the beneficiary's bank

• The beneficiary's account number

To Make an International Transfer
Use the Capital One SWIFT code HIBKUS44.

SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) codes are the international equivalents of the US routing numbers. They direct the money to the correct bank for international transfers.

You'll also need the following information for international wires:

• The name of the person to whom you're wiring funds (the "beneficiary") as it appears on their account

• The name and address of the beneficiary's bank

• The beneficiary's bank account number; for many international transfers, this is called the IBAN number

• The SWIFT code of your bank and the bank you are sending to

• Currency being sent

• Purpose of transaction

Before submitting a wire transfer for processing, it's a good idea to double-check you have all the necessary information entered correctly.

PRO TIP: When you send or receive money using your bank, you might lose out on a bad exchange rate and pay hidden fees as a result. That's because most banks still use an old system to exchange money. Consider using Wise, which is usually much cheaper.
