Question 1

What's the difference between routing numbers and ABA numbers?

Accepted Answer

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.
