## About

## What it does

US Bank Routing Numbers looks up US banks from the Federal Reserve's FedACH (Automated Clearing House) and Fedwire (wire transfer) directories. You send a nine-digit routing number, a bank name or a transfer type, and get back the bank's name, city, state and whether it supports ACH, Wire or both.

`USA BANK INFORMATION` lists the whole directory, 10,795 institutions, page by page with `limit` and `offset`. `US Bank Lookup by Routing Number` returns one bank for a routing number, and its `transfer_type` parameter picks the ACH or Wire directory. `US Bank Search by Name` finds banks by a full or partial name.

US Bank Routing Numbers is a good fit when you need to validate a routing number before a payment, fill in a bank's name and location from a routing number in a payout form, or find the routing number for a named US bank.
