Paying your bill by electronic check (eCheck) is fast, easy, and free. To pay by eCheck you need two pieces of information: your account number and your U.S. bank’s nine-digit routing number.
On a paper check, your account number is found on the bottom of the check and can vary in length. Your account number is the number you use when you make a deposit into your account.
Your bank’s routing number is found to the left of the account number. If you don’t have access to a paper check or you’re paying from a savings account, ask your bank for its nine-digit routing number.
Still not sure? Don’t worry. You can get the information you need with a quick call to your bank. Banks get these questions every day, and you’ll have your bill paid within minutes of making your call.
