Does My Bank Account Routing Number Change If I Change My Address?

Question

I bank with Chase. I used to live in NJ but I moved to NYC about a month ago and I updated my address with Chase from NJ to my new address in NY. I want to sign up for direct deposit with my job and they need my account and routing number. I don't have any checks to find out my routing number so I looked on Chase website and they have routing numbers by regions. My routing number was always the one for NJ but now that I changed my address do I use the routing number for NY instead? or do I still use the one for NJ? I heard routing numbers are based on the region where you OPENED your account NOT your home address so would I still use my NJ routing number?

Answer 1

If the bank has routing numbers based on the region in which you live then as you have changed addresse from New jersey to New York, yes indeed, there would be a change of rotuing number as well , you would now have a New York routing number for your bank although the account number would remain the same. Best get in touch with Chase customer support and confirm this as well.

Answer 2

In general a bank has only one routing number that never changes. However, a bank such as Chase has bought up and merged with MANY other banks and now owns all of their routing numbers as well. Most will work but there are so many variables that come into play that I recommend you contact the bank (call customer service number) and just ask for their routing number, most banks will only give out the main routing number (not the one's from all the acquired banks).

Answer 3

The routing number belongs to the bank that has the account.



If this account is still open and you are using it - then you use that routing number.



Doesn't matter a twit where you live.

Answer 4

No.



Its the banks routing number, not your address routing #.

Answer 5

I suggest you contact Chase and ask to make sure. Better to get it right the first time.
