At the bottom of your checks, you will see a line of computer numbers (MICR line) that indicate the individual check number, your bank’s ABA Routing number, and your checking account number. Please note that these numbers may occur in any order, but the symbols described below will be consistent, and will help you determine which numbers belong to which category.
This character appears before and after the 9-digit ABA Routing number in the MICR line.
This character appears after the checking account number.
The check number appears both in the MICR line and in the upper right-hand portion of your
check.
