Look at one of your checks. The credit union's routing number is printed along the bottom of the check. Routing numbers always have nine digits and are identified on your check by a set of numbers between I: I: symbols.

Visit your credit union's website. Most credit unions provide routing numbers on their websites. In the "Search" field, type "Routing Number", or look in the Frequently Asked Questions section. Because the routing number identifies the credit union, and not your account, in most cases you do not need to log in to your online account or provide identifying information to receive the routing number. If the routing number is not available on the website, locate the customer service number for the credit union under the "Contact" tab.
