If you don't see your region listed or don't remember where you opened your Wells Fargo account, read on for other ways to find your routing number.

Other Ways to Find Your Routing Number

Here are several other ways to find your Wells Fargo routing number:

Use A Check
The routing number for checking accounts is the first 9 digits located on the bottom left of every check.

Go Online
Wells Fargo has an online form you can fill out to locate your correct routing number and account number. Find it here.

You can also find your routing number by searching "routing number" at the top of the screen after you've logged into your Wells Fargo online account.

Call Customer Service
If you don't have online checking or a check handy, call Wells Fargo at 800-956-4442. 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. There is typically a fee, however. You can make a wire transfer by visiting a Wells Fargo branch.

For an online wire transfer, follow these steps:

1. Sign onto your Wells Fargo account online.
   
2. Select the Wire Money option in the Transfer & Pay menu
   
3. Add required recipient details (more on this below).

Domestic Wire Transfer Routing Number
Use the Wells Fargo domestic wire transfer routing number 121000248 instead of your regular ABA routing number.

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

International Wire Transfer Routing Number
Use the Wells Fargo SWIFT code WFBIUS6S for all international wires to or from your Wells Fargo account.

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 account number

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

• Currency being sent

• Purpose of payment
