What is a routing number, and why do I need it?
A routing number is a unique nine-digit code assigned to each financial institution by the American Bankers Association (ABA). It serves as an identifier for the bank or credit union and helps facilitate the smooth transfer of funds between different accounts. You may need your Chase routing number when initiating direct deposits, setting up automatic bill payments, or sending/receiving wire transfers.
