Online Payments
Bank Routing Number
The bank routing number identifies your bank or financial institution. This number is the nine digit number that usually appears at the lower left of your check.
While most checks are printed with the bank routing number first, some checks show the account number first. Please check your bank statement to identify which number is your account number if you are not certain.
If you have questions, please contact your bank.
Bank Account Number
Your bank account number can vary in the number of digits. It is the number that usually appears just to the right of the bank routing number. The check number sometimes follows the account number. The check number is not part of your account number.
While most checks are printed with the bank routing number first, some checks show the account number first. Please check your bank statement to identify which number is your account number if you are not certain.
If you have questions, please contact your bank.
Bank Account Type
If you would like to use a money market account or credit union account to make online payments, please contact your financial institution to verify whether your account is checking or savings.
If you are using a savings account to set up your online payments, please reference a savings deposit slip to complete your enrollment.
