Remitly FAQ
-
What's the difference between routing numbers and ABA numbers?
Routing numbers and ABA numbers are the same thing. Both terms refer to the nine-digit code used to identify U.S. banks for processing direct deposits, wire transfers, and bill payments. "ABA" stands for the American Bankers Association, which developed this system, so "ABA number" is another way to refer to the routing number. -
Are SWIFT codes and routing numbers the same?
No, SWIFT codes and routing numbers are not the same. SWIFT codes are used for international transfers to identify banks globally while routing numbers are used for domestic transactions within the U.S. to identify banks and financial institutions. -
