What Is a Routing Number, and Why Does BECU Have Just One?
Here's the thing that confuses a lot of people: big banks like Chase and Wells Fargo have different routing numbers for different states. BECU doesn't.
BECU — Boeing Employees' Credit Union — operates with a single routing number nationwide: 325081403. Whether you opened your account in Seattle or Spokane, whether you're setting up direct deposit in Washington or anywhere else in the U.S., the number is the same.
Your routing number is a 9-digit code assigned by the American Bankers Association (ABA). Think of it as your bank's address in the U.S. financial system. Here's what those 9 digits actually mean:
- Digits 1–4 (3250): Federal Reserve Routing Symbol — identifies the Federal Reserve district (BECU is in the 12th district: Seattle)
- Digits 5–8 (8140): ABA Institution Identifier — unique to BECU
- Digit 9 (3): Check digit — mathematically validates the entire number to catch typos
