What is a Routing No.?
It is a 9-digit number that identifies your bank and your bank branch. The first 5 digits identifies your bank. The other 4 digits identifies your branch location.
In the Philippines, you can see your bank’s Routing No. on a cheque issued by your bank. It’s the R/T No. on the top right portion of your bank’s cheque.
Your bank’s R/T Nos. will have the same first 5 digits. The other 4 digits will vary, as these will represent the branches of your bank. Each branch of your bank will have a different 4-digit.
Routing Nos. for Paypal and Upwork, formerly Odesk
If you need a Routing No. to link to your Paypal account, or to your account with Upwork, formerly called Odesk, use your bank’s Routing No. in this set of Routing Nos. below.
In the Philippines, a Routing No. is sometimes called Paypal Code because this is the number required by Paypal to link your bank account to Paypal.
Upwork, formerly called Odesk, also uses Routing Nos. to transfer funds to the bank accounts of its workers in the Philippines. It calls a Routing Number a BRSTN, which stands for Bank Routing Symbol Transit Number.

In the USA, a Routing No. is also called Routing Transit No. (RTN), or ABA Routing No. or checking account Routing No. It’s mainly used for tracking CHECKS.
Routing Nos. are issued by the American Bankers Association (ABA). The ABA developed Routing Nos. in 1910 mainly to track checks. Now, a Routing No. is also used in other negotiable instruments, automated clearinghouses, electronic funds transfer and online banking
For big banks with many branches in different states, the RTN denotes the region or location of the branch where the checking account was opened.

Hello, pls help me the routing number of PS BANK in the PHILIPPINES? thank you.
For big banks with many branches in different states
When I first opened a bank account and learned how to conduct transactions, it was not as easy as it seemed to me. It took me weeks to find the routing number 314074269. Like it took 5 minutes from the moment I found this site, understood the way it works and entered the code. But before that I had no idea how to find the code, so that's why it took me so long. But now I'm fine, because I have that site.
Hi wat is the routing number of Bank of the phillipines island
What is the routing number of rural bank? Help me out pleaseee
Hi Angelle, what is the name of the rural bank?
I ask my BPO bank in Dipolog the routing number and they told me they don’t have one only a swift code. They went as far as calling Manila headquarters, same reply but I found it here )
(010530667). So would this be safe to use to transfer funds from my US bank to my BDO USD savings account?
Thanks in advance
Hi Fred, if it’s a wire transfer, use BDO’s Swift code which is BNORPHMM. Only one is used since every transfer from abroad goes through BDO’s main office in Makati. If they say it lacks 3 letters, use BNORPHMMXXX. If it’s a Global Direct Deposit, use 010530667. This number is called Bank Routing Symbol Transit Number or Bank Identified Code (BIC).
Thanks Nora,
When trying to do this Wells Fargo will not allow me to use letters only numbers. Again would I be safe in using 0100530667? We are building a house so we need to wire large amounts, do you see any problem in doing this?
Thanks again in Advance
Just wanna make sure, does the routing number matters the branch as well?
Hi Aina, the routing nos. above are the routing numbers for the head office. If it’s transfer or payment from abroad, you can use these nos. even if your account is in another branch.
