Where can I find my routing number?

So, I'm a college student with a checking account and a prepaid web card through JPMorgan Chase... and now I've run into a bit of a snag. I'm expecting an international wire transfer, and they're asking me for my Fedwire code and IBAN. I managed to track down the Fedwire info, but the IBAN thing is totally confusing me. Does anyone know how I can find it, or am I going to need to open some other type of account at the bank just to actually receive the money?

Just head down to your local branch and ask them for your IBAN.
Edit: You'll definitely need to have a foreign currency account set up first.

If you’re staring at an account number like 2360000-1234567890, just Google "convert to routing number format" or look up how to turn it into an ABA number.
Basically, the routing number setup is just the old school system—you’ve just got to add the right prefix and those two little check digits that get calculated from the account itself.

I mean, can't you just see your account number on your online banking app?
I’ve been using my account over at Zabiti for months now, and my routing and account info have been sitting right there on the dashboard this whole time. 🤷

Just head over to JP Morgan Chase and ask them for the payment instructions. It’s honestly super straightforward.

If you need to grab your IBAN using just your bank account number and routing info, check out this guide here:

I swung by Student Services today to drop off my bank account info, and the guy there basically told me they don't even need it. I have no idea how they're planning to handle my payouts starting July 1st. 🤷

For another year, the recipient's account can stay in the old format. Starting June 1st, an IBAN is mandatory only for the sender.

They're basically the ones handling my paychecks (my employer sends the cash to them, they take their cut, and then the rest lands in my account).🤷

Yeah, well, you're the one receiving the funds.

They don't need it because they probably already have it on file. The IT guys have likely automated everything by now—anyone who actually needs one can just convert a standard account number into a routing format in two seconds flat.
The tech support guys set that up for me months ago, so I’m guessing the university has it handled too.

Could you please send a link for this? I have a mountain of payments due next week and I don't have the recipients' routing numbers, so I'm wondering if I should maybe panic 🙂 or if I can just fill out the Hub's forms using the old account format (for the recipients). I definitely have my own routing number.

You can still use those old PRIMATEL account formats (the 7+10 digit version) on the new HUB forms (HUB-3 and HUB-3A) until June 1st, 2014.

So, they actually rejected my transfer at Chase today just because I didn't have the recipient's routing number handy. I don't even know how to argue with them since I can't exactly tell them, "Well, placidmaker6 on the forum said it was fine without it." 🙂 Basically, I'm just warning you all that either the people at the bank are totally clueless or they just don't care; they think they're untouchable, so maybe be careful if you're trying to make any last-minute payments.

I'm bumping this thread because I'm a little stuck on something;
I'm currently filling out some paperwork for a federal agency, and they're asking me to provide a Routing Number.
Is a Routing Number strictly for foreign currency accounts (which I actually just closed), or can I use one for my standard checking account (specifically at Chase)?
I tried calling their help desk, but they shut down at 5 p.m.🤷

At Chase, they assign a routing number to your checking account, so you should just give them a call or swing by a local branch. I'm pretty sure that info is even printed right on the receipt you get from a Chase ATM.

Basically, every single bank has assigned a routing number to all types of accounts—checking, savings, business, you name it.
Can't find yours? Just run it through a routing number calculator.
Google: routing number calculator (it’s the same algorithm everywhere)

Awesome, thanks a ton.
That routing number calculator is a lifesaver; saved me an extra trip to Chase 😉

For anyone who might find this useful now or down the road, 🙂

They told me they couldn't process my transfer because JPMorgan Chase basically brushed me off, claiming they couldn't verify my account number.
I’ve been scouring the JPMorgan Chase website, and honestly, it’s a mess; looks like I’ll have to actually trek down to a local branch (maybe somewhere near 19 miles), grab the number in person, and just sit there in line...🙂

After spending a good couple of hours wading through the bank's endless online explanations, I decided to check back on the forums. And what do I find?!

An IBAN CALCULATOR.
That number isn't some mystery; it’s calculated mathematically using the exact same formula everywhere in the world.
I plugged my details into three different calculators just to be sure: everything checks out perfectly.

WHY ARE THEY TURNING PEOPLE AWAY AT THE COUNTER😠? It's not rocket science—anyone could calculate this with a basic calculator! What is their deal?!
Why do they host these massive, confusing pages about this "mysterious" number on their own websites instead of just pointing us toward a simple calculator?

WHY are they like this?
