Terminology:

Routing Number

The routing number is the nine-digit number in the bottom left corner of your check. A routing number NEVER begins with “5.” DO NOT copy the numbers from a deposit slip. Usually, these are not valid. 
*If you are not sure what the routing number is, contact your bank.

Account Number

The account number is a series of numbers found at the bottom of your check following the routing number. Do not enter your debit card number – this is not your account number.
*If you are not sure what the account number is, contact your bank.
