Need help finding your Routing/ABA Number or Account Number?

To set up a direct deposit, you’ll need to know your Routing/ABA Number and your Account Number. The following check image can help you determine which number is which. Just make sure that you refer to your own check or savings withdrawal ticket when you fill out the direct deposit form.
