Some checks can be stale dated for longer or shorter times. A check attached to an offer that requires and acceptance may be stale dated in 7 days, or even as specifically as, Void if Not Presented by 5 PM on Check Issue Date".

Watch for this wording under the amount, or sometimes under the SIGNATURE LINE onthe check.

Routing Number

The Routing Number is a 9-digit number located between the Transit Symbols at the bottom of a valid U.S. check.

Routing Number Results are Updated Daily from the eRoutingNumber™ Database. This database includes exclusive data, not offered by other sources, like Fake Routing Numbers, and the Fraction Code or Fractional Routing Number found on the face of printed checks..

The eRoutingNumber™ database Includes All ABA Routing Numbers in the United States, as well as the bank website in many cases. The eRoutingNumber™ database also contains the bank phone number and best number to call for check verification.

The eRoutingNumber™ database uses many different sources and has evolved since 1998, and now utilizes user reporting to keep the data in check.

Any user can report a routing number missing, invalid, or provide details not included. We verify every submission and make notes or updates accordingly.
