Routing Transit Information
There are four types of numbers found on your checks. Below is a
diagram that helps explain the meanings of these numbers.
1: Financial Institution Routing Transit Number – 9 numbers located
between two symbols. This number identifies the bank holding your
account and check processing center.
2: Account Number – This is your complete account number (excluding
spaces and special characters). If you have more than one account, each
account will have a separate number which may not be in sequence. Your
personal SunTrust account number may be up to 13 digits.
3: ACH Routing Transit Number – 9 numbers used to set up automatic
debits for payments and payroll direct deposits. This number reflects the
electronic processing center for your account and may differ from your
Financial Institution Routing Transit Number.
4: Check Number – Each time you write a check, even for an electronic
payment by phone, you should use the next available number in
sequence and be sure to record the necessary information in your
checkbook.
