What is a routing number on a check?
A routing number is a unique nine-digit code used in the United States to identify a financial institution. Also known as an ABA or Routing Transit Number (RTN), it directs funds accurately for transactions such as direct deposits, wire transfers, ACH payments, and check processing.
• The first number identifies the type of financial institution (e.g., bank, credit union).
• The second number indicates the Federal Reserve District where the institution is located.
• Veridian Credit Union is in Federal Reserve District 7, with checks clearing through Cleveland.
• The remaining digits identify the specific institution and its check processing details.
Veridian's routing number is 273976369.
