Where Is The Routing Number Located On My Check I Can’t Find It?

where is the routing number located on my check? Well let me say this what types of checks you have really doesn’t make a difference. You may have really neat looking Superman checks, Deluxe checks, Disney checks or you may even  have cheap checks. But the account information is always going to be in the same place on your checks.  

Now when you look to the bottom of your check, look to the lvery eft you will see nine numbers. Just be sure you are looking at a check and not a deposit slip or something else. Those nine numbers to the left are normally followed by your account number then the check number. Those nine numbers to the left are your bank routing numbers. The routing number is always “nine” numbers. The routing numbers may have some funny  looking characters before and after the numbers, ignore those characters and only focus on the nine numbers in between.

Trying to find out exactly what your account number is, may be a little more harder to figure out but it’s really not very difficult. Your account number is normally the next set of numbers to the right. If there are any zeros before the number ignore them and only concentrate on the numbers come after the zero. Usually after the account number is another funny character and then you will see your check number. If that is not the case don’t worry because through the process of elimination we will find the account number.

Allright so you have ignored all zeros at the very beginning of the account number now look at the upper right hand corner of your check for the check number. So this makes it easier just look down at the account number and ignore the check number the numbers to the left minus any zeros before the number and that will be your check number.

Now I don’t know how you are but I like cool looking checks with pictures or characters on them.  Sometimes when you have designer checks, Disney checks or some other cool theme like fishing or golf it makes it a little more difficult to  see the numbers at the bottom of your checks clearly. Usually when they make these checks the bottom is a light color so that the numbers are all legible. I hope this article has helped you do answer the question we have all asked at one time or another where is the routing number located on my check?
