What is the Routing Number?

A routing number identifies the financial institution and the branch to which a payment item is directed. Along with the account number, it is essential for delivering payments through the clearing system.

In Canada, there are two formats for routing numbers:

EFT Routing Number

An Electronic Fund Transactions (EFT) routing number is comprised of a three-digit financial institution number and a five-digit branch number, preceded by a "leading zero".
Example : 0XXXYYYYY
  • 0 : Leading zero
  • YYY : Institution Number
  • XXXXX : Branch Number
The electronic routing number is used for routing electronic payment items, such as direct deposits and wire transfers.
