What is an ABA Routing Number?

An ABA Routing Number appears at the bottom of a negotiable instrument of a financial institution like checks. This number system serves the purpose of identifying the financial institution behind a transaction. This number system is widely used for ACH and wire transactions. Routing Numbers may differ depending on the region where a person has opened his account. This means one needs to be careful and use the right routing number during a transaction.

A particular ABA Routing Number is made up of 9-digits. The American Bankers Association designed the routing number system in 1910. The number system is in use ever since. The Association partners with different registrars (presently Accuity) to manage the RTN system. There are currently 26,895 active routing numbers in use. The American Bankers Association allows each bank to have a maximum of 5 routing numbers. But due to a number of mergers, several banks have more than 5 routing numbers.
