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. For Upwork, you need to use the BRSTN of your bank’s head office. If your bank is a subsidiary bank, use the BRSTN of your parent bank’s head office. It will be your account number that will identify your branch. If your branch has a BRSTN, do not use it because the Upwork system will not recognize it. Use your bank’s head office BRSTN.

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.

BPI family use the same code for BPI?
The routing number for BPI that is listed is for PayPal transactions, not the actual bank itself. I tried using this information to get my IRS return funds.
Hi Pissa, foreign remitters should use Swift code to send to Philippine banks. BPI’s Swift code is BOPIPHMMXXX. Try exploring the Transferwise borderless account.
I have found the Filipinos to be the best employees I have ever had…great workers, intelligent, highly educated. We treat them well and I truly believe that they treat us better.
Thanks a lot, Rando, for recognizing not only our skills but also our commitment to clients. And thank you too for treating your employees well. Wish you continued success and blessings!

Hi nora what is the routing number for china bank corp for laoag city branch. Greatly appreciate if you can reply to this asap. Salamat kabayan!
Hi Terry, dito sa atin, isang routing no. lang ang ginagamit ng mga banks for all their branches, kasi lahat ng nanggagaling sa abroad ay dadaan muna sa head office nila sa Metro Mla. China Bank’s routing no. is 010100013. Yong code naman kasi ng branch ay andon sa account number, usually the first 3 to 5 digits of the account number indicate the branch.
If you need China Bank’s swift code (usually needed in wire transfers), its CHBKPHMMXXX or CHBKPHMM if they ask only 8 digits.

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.

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.

Hi Lloyda, foreign banks should use Swift codes to send money to Philippine banks — I have written it on this post. Swift code for BPI is BOPIPHMMXXX. It’s Paypal that uses routing numbers for transfers to the Philippines. By the way, more power to your art business. You can use a Transferwise borderless account for your business.
I understand this post/blog is posting Routing Numbers of Philippine Banks. Is there anyway I can find the Swift Code of Union Bank of the Philippines, of a particular bank? Thank you
Hi Mar, the Swift code for Union Bank of the Philippines is UBPHPHMMXXX. This code is good for any Union Bank branch — all Swift transfers from abroad goes through the main office. If you want to search other banks, use Transferwise’s Swift code search system.
ano po ang routing code ng AUB KIDAPAWAN CITY NORTH COTABATO.
Hi Jun, sorry, hindi ko alam ang routing code ng branch na yan. Routing code for head office is 011020011. Kung sa remittance yan, puedeng gamitin yang head office kasi meron namang account number. Yong first 3 or 4 digits ng account number ay code ng branch. At lalo na kung remittance from abroad, dadaan yan sa head office. Sa Upwork at Paypal, routing code ng head office ang required.
Kung branch code ang required, kontakin mo na lang yong branch.

Hello po. if magpapadala po from abroad to philippines, routing number po ba ang kailangan or is it the swift code?
Hi Jjjj, Swift code ang ginagamit ng Philippine banks for wire transfers. For many years now, isang code lang muna for one bank; yong mga branches, ginagamit yong sa main branch. Maraming mga global remitters like Xoom or Wise or Western Union, sila na ang bahala sa Swift code. Usually, recipient’s name, address, phone no., relationship and purpose na lang ang info na required.

Hello good day kapag po ba wire transfer tama po ba yung routing number ng UNION ANK NA ANDTO po? Thank you!
Hi Kara, if it’s wire transfer, you should use the Swift code. For Union Bank, it’s UBPHPHMM. Use UBPHPHMMXXX if they need 11 digits, yong XXX refers to the branch, pero ok lang na X kasi pupunta naman ang international remittance to main branch of Union Bank, saka maforward sa branch mo.
