Your number will vary, so finding the ABA number for Wachovia bank requires you to do a couple of things. The first thing to do is to look at the bottom-left corner of your cheques, as your ABA number will appear there. This routing number is used for setting up direct deposit, transfers and automatic payments.

If you have a personal account with Wachovia bank, the first sequence of numbers, which should be a nine-digit number, will be your ABA number. If you own a business account with Wachovia, the ABA number will follow the six-digit check number found at the bottom of all your checks. The ABA number is also known under the other name of a routing and transit number (‘RTN’) or bank number. It was first established by the American Bankers Association to help identify the bank of the account holder. For instance, with Wachovia, when processing checks or depositing any money into an account, this would be necessary. An ABA number is also needed if you’re going to set up a direct debit with your account, transferring funds normally, or just making electronic payments.

The RTN is also used by the Federal Reserve banks in order to process Fedwire funds transfers, as well as the Automated Clearing House in order to process direct deposits, bill payments and all other automated transfers.

If you have any more queries about your ABA number or any of your bank accounts with the bank, simply get in touch with Wachovia over the telephone, via email, or by visiting your local branch. Bank tellers will be more than happy to help you with any queries you have, and give you any information you need in order to create automated transfers of your own.
