Payment information is entered when finalizing the transmittal. When finalizing, click Pay Now and the banking account window will open to enter your bank account and routing number. If you receive an error while entering payment information, please confirm the routing and account information with your financial institution for ACH payments.
- How to Find Routing Number on a Check
Look in the lower left-hand corner of the check where routing numbers are located.
Look for an icon on the check. The icon is a character is from the BankerScriber MICR font.
Identify the first nine numbers. All routing numbers are nine numbers.
- How do you identify a Routing Number on a Check?
The easiest place to find your bank’s routing number is to look at your paper checks. The check will typically have the 9-digit routing number down on the bottom left of the check. It will be in a sequence of three numbers printed in MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) form.
- How many numbers are in a bank account number?
The account number works in conjunction with the routing number. While the routing number identifies the name of the financial institution, the account number-usually between eight and 12 digits -identifies your individual account.
- How long is a standard bank account number?
The most common length for bank account numbers is 9, 12, or 10 digits. Although they range from 4 to 17 digits long. I have a large database of valid numbers and there's no pattern that I can see to the "account number".

Bank information can be updated when finalizing the transmittal. The Transmittal Payment window has a link to Update Account Information.
