071 025 661 is for direct deposit and ACH; 071 000 288 is for domestic wires. The 9-digit routing number identifies the bank on a transfer; your account number identifies you.
Use the ACH and direct-deposit number for payroll, direct deposit, and everyday transfers. Use the wire number for domestic wire transfers, which also need the recipient's name and address. The two are not interchangeable — sending an ACH payment with a wire routing number (or the reverse) can be rejected, so match the number to the transfer type.
Your routing number is the first 9 digits in the bottom-left of a BMO Bank check, or in your online and mobile banking under account or routing details. If anyone asks for your online-banking password or full card number to "verify" a routing number, it's a scam — a routing number alone is public.
