Coverage is source-specific and incomplete. Unknown does not mean invalid. A listed routing number does not establish account existence, ownership or payment acceptance.

Review current source coverage, dates and limits before checking a list.

Bank-published routing instructions: ACH, paper and domestic wire scope. These observations supplement rail sources; they do not assert rail membership.

Review your routing list. Keep evidence. Test the result.

For developers maintaining payroll, ERP and payment integrations: find input errors, review source observations, save a baseline and compare your next check.

US beta: try three rows before upgrading. Payment does not unlock missing bank names or unloaded ACH/Fedwire sources. Source coverage is included in each report.

Pro supports 50 rows per run; Business supports 250. Both include saved reports and manual comparison. Generated accounts use a generic synthetic format, not bank-specific account rules.

Check a routing-number list

Pro: up to 50 rows. Business: up to 250. Paste routing numbers only, one per line — no account or customer data.

Example: two published bank routing numbers and one intentionally invalid value. No customer accounts are included. For synthetic account fixtures, use the existing US ACH test-data generator; generated data is not a live payment instruction.

Cost: one API credit per unique valid RTN, plus three per valid row if test cases are selected. Invalid rows cost zero. JSON download is included.

Rechecking an unchanged saved list against identical source data is free when test generation is off.

When you open checkout, a routing-number-only draft stays in this tab for your return. Restoring it never starts a paid check automatically.



Saved lists and comparisons

Load a list, run another check, then save it to compare. The same source file is not a new banking event. Comparisons are manual; no automatic bank alerts are sent.



US routing number questions

What does a routing number checksum prove?

It checks the nine-digit ABA structure and checksum. Passing does not prove bank assignment, account existence, ownership or payment acceptance.

Are ACH and wire routing numbers always the same?

Do not assume they are interchangeable. Check the payment rail and instructions supplied by your bank. Unloaded sources remain unknown here.

Which US sources are covered?

The routing beta includes FedNow observations. The separate institution directory contains FDIC and NCUA records. Bank names and FedACH/Fedwire assignments are not inferred from institution records.

Do banks in the United States use IBAN?

US domestic accounts do not use IBAN. Routing numbers identify a routing destination; account numbers are separate. Use synthetic fixtures only in test environments.

Can I check a CSV routing list?

Preview up to three rows free. Pro supports 50 rows per run and Business 250, with saved reports and manual comparison. Invalid rows cost zero credits.
