Check routing is a process used to route checks and other negotiable instruments to the appropriate financial institution for processing. It is typically done by entering a nine-digit routing number, also known as an ABA number, on the bottom of a check. This nine-digit number indicates which bank or financial institution the check should be sent to, and it is located in the magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) line on the bottom of the check.
