How to find out my bank reference number?

How do you find your 'routing number' for paypal if you only have a savings bank account, and no checks?

  • I'm trying to sign up for a paypal account, but do not have any information regarding my routing number, hence the fact that it's a savings account, and that I don't have checks. My general question is, is there a way to add a bank account to your PayPal account without the 'routing number', or is it completely necessary. If it IS necessary, then how do I find it without any checks to reference?

  • Answer:

    Every financial institution has a routing number; it is assigned by the Routing Number Administration Board (governed by the Federal Reserve and the American Bankers Association). Go to your bank's website and search for their routing number. I found mine on my credit union's website in about 3 seconds. They will hopefully have a search feature on their site. The number should be 9 characters in a 4-4-1 configuation (####-####-#). Good luck.

Yes, there are routing numbers for a savings account. However, some banks have different routing number for their savings accounts. In the U.S. For savings you are only allowed four electronic transaction a month. (Atm at your bank and in person transaction are not suppose to be counted)

Savings Accounts also have Routing No's just call your Bank, where you have a Savings account and ask them to give you the Routing No. Yes the routing No is necessary.
