Golden plains credit union routing number near hays, ks

Routing Number? Please Explain This To Me Like I'm Five.

It is a number issued by the American Bankers Association that identifies the individual bank in question. It has a few different names, such as Routing Transit Number and American Bankers Association number. In order to do business in the US, all US banks must have a routing number.

Why does a bank need a routing number?

First, they need it because the law requires it. Second, they need it for practical logistical reasons. It is used to route money transfers, such as check payments or direct deposits. Without it, they are dead in the water and cannot move funds.

Where can I find this on my checks?

The routing number can be found at the bottom of the check. It may precede or follow the checking account number. This same line will also contain the check number for the check in question. These three pieces of information are needed to give each check full and unique identification for purposes of moving money between accounts.
