You can find your routing number in the U.S. Bank mobile app by selecting your account and tapping the “Account & routing number” option on the account details page. The whole process takes about 30 seconds once you’re logged in.
Steps to Find It in the App
Open the U.S. Bank mobile app and log in. From your main dashboard, tap the specific checking or savings account you want the routing number for. At the top of the account page, select “Account & routing number.” Both your full account number and nine-digit routing number will appear on screen.
If you have multiple accounts, you’ll need to select each one individually. The routing number is typically the same across your U.S. Bank accounts, but it’s worth confirming on the specific account you plan to use for a direct deposit form, wire transfer, or ACH payment.
Using Your Digital Statement as a Backup
If you’re having trouble finding the option on your account page, your monthly statement is another reliable place to look. In the app, open the main menu and choose “Statements & docs.” Select “Document type,” then pick the account from the dropdown menu. Tap any recent statement to open it as a PDF. Your routing number and account number are printed near the top of every statement, just as they would be on a paper copy.
You can also download or print the statement from the app if you need a copy for your records or to share with an employer setting up direct deposit.
What the Routing Number Is For
The routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies U.S. Bank as your financial institution. You’ll need it any time money moves electronically into or out of your account: setting up direct deposit with an employer, linking an external bank account, scheduling bill payments, or initiating a wire transfer. It’s not unique to you personally. Everyone who banks at U.S. Bank uses the same routing number (or one of a small set of them), while your account number is what identifies your specific account.
Other Quick Ways to Find It
If you don’t have the app handy, a few alternatives work just as well:
- Check or checkbook: The routing number is the first nine digits printed along the bottom left of any U.S. Bank check, followed by your account number.
- Online banking: Log in at usbank.com, select your account, and look for the same “Account & routing number” link.
- U.S. Bank website: The bank publishes its routing number on its public ABA routing number page, no login required.
For most everyday needs like direct deposit or linking accounts, the routing number shown in your app is the correct one to use. Wire transfers sometimes require a different routing number, so if you’re sending or receiving a wire, confirm with U.S. Bank’s customer service line or the wire transfer instructions on their site before submitting.
