What is a Bank Routing Number Exactly?

Also called routing transit number (RTN) or American Bankers Association (ABA) number, this 9 digit number is essentially an ID for the financial institution assigned by the ABA.

When you deposit a check or send money to other bank accounts, the routing number will tell the bank where this is to be processed. Large banks, like Chase, will have multiple routing numbers serving each region and/or task.

Is there a routing number on your debit or credit card?

Although your debit card is associated with a bank account, you do not use a routing number for debit card transactions. Routing numbers are only used for transfers directly between bank accounts.

Likewise, credit cards do not have routing numbers since they are not directly linked to any bank account. When you pay your card online, you may need to use your bank account routing number to set up the link between your credit card account and checking account, like you would for any other bill.

Bottom Line

You'll likely need your Chase routing number when managing your finances. Keep it handy should you need to set up a direct deposit, automatic payment, or wire transfer.
