When you create an invoice, is it common to include account number and routing number?

Question

I'm getting paid for my services and sending an invoice to the client. Is it okay for me to include my account and routing # at the bottom of the invoice for the client to wire the money to my account? Serious answers only. Thanks!

Answer 1

Clients should pay by check, why give out sensitive info over the internet? This could work against you financially.

Answer 2

I assume you know if its a checking or savings, if not you can call the bank with your account number and they can verify that. You account number will be on your statement, or on a check/deposit slip, usually the second set of numbers after the |: the routing number is ALWAYS 9 digits. You can get verification that you have the correct routing number from the bank as well, the customer service line knows all! But they porbably won't tell you your account number, only verify (security and privacy reasons, etc.)

Answer 3

Why would your client want to wire you the funds? Wire transfers are a very expensive way to transfer small amounts of cash. By small amounts were are talking about less than a few hundred thousand.
