Quick bank question
 

Just opened up a savings/checking account and i have noticed that the routing number is the same for both savings and checking account. Just wondering if that matters and if it could link 2 accounts. I never really paid attention to this before.

lol really?-----------> Bank Routing Numbers

That link is very good oge. You hit the mark spot on again!=}-

Haha thanks. I consider myself pretty well educated but i do ask some stupid questions sometimes :)

Another thing. Wouldn't pp find it a little shady if lets say they have 20 accounts in the same state going to the same routing number???? Couldn't this be a possible way of linking/causing a red flag?

question - you get 9 digits divided in to 2 parts, what are they called? routing is a long number, explain the differences

Im confused.

yes what are you talking about oompa?

I saw a statement and it said account number eg 2568-55233, does say first few digits relate to the bank it is from? is the first 4 digits part of the acc number or is it what we in uk call sortcode, which all accs at that branch have ...

It is possible only if you did it all on one day but pp does about 350 millions dollars a day in transactions so it's not likely of 20 accounts will get linked IMO

Ok now I get it here's your answer for USA -----> Routing transit number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hmm....I've read this somewhere before.Routing Transit Number (RTN) springs to mind when you think of the 9 digit code.

If I've understood this correctly, the bank company name is identified in the 5-8 digit range & the this includes a regional prefix indicating the metropolitan area &/or state.

EDITS: oge responded just as I was typing this up.

Routing transit number is not something to worry about - millions of folx have the same routing number but different account numbers.

anyone know where to get a source for the regional prefixes, cos wiki only had federal reserve ones for certain areas only

I am going to PM you oomps on this.:rolleyes:
