Where is my account number on my check
There is a routing number that helps banks process checks. When you cash a check anywhere in the US, the routing number indicates the actual bank issuing the check. There is also a special copy of the check number. Look to see the check number at the top right. You will see that number somewhere along the bottom of the check.
There are two sets of numbers listed at the bottom of a check. These sets of numbers are the routing numbers and the account number. The nine digit set of numbers is the routing number.
Account numbers are like a cumstomer ID specific to the customer and the routing number is specific to the bank, sort of a bank ID. For electronic funds transfers, the routing number lets them know what bank the money is going to and then the account number lets them know the person the money is going to at that bank. The routing numbers are typically nine digits and usually the first set of numbers (from left to right) at the bottom of a check, then followed by either the check number or the person's account number.
