Find your Sentinel routing number

Where to look: a check, online banking, the mobile app.

  1. Look at the bottom-left of a Sentinel check — the first 9 digits are your routing number.
  2. Or sign in to online or mobile banking and open your account or routing details.
  3. Or call the number on the back of your card and ask for the ABA routing number for your account.
  4. Confirm the number with the bank before using it for direct deposit or a transfer.
Before you send

Check these before you send money

  • Confirm the bank name on the transfer matches Sentinel.
  • Match the number to the transfer type — ACH and direct deposit use one number, domestic wires another.
  • For wires, double-check the recipient's name and address too.
  • If instructions arrived by email, confirm them on Sentinel's official site or phone line before sending.
  • No one should ever need your password or full card number to confirm a routing number — that's a scam.
FAQ

Sentinel routing number FAQ

What is Sentinel's routing number?

Sentinel's ACH and direct-deposit routing number depends on the U.S. state where you opened your account. For domestic wires, Sentinel uses 291 479 291 (cross-checked against public directories — confirm before you send). The 9-digit routing number identifies the bank on a transfer; your account number identifies you.

Does Sentinel's routing number depend on my state?

Yes. Sentinel assigns ACH and direct-deposit routing numbers by the U.S. state where you opened your account. Check the bottom-left of a Sentinel check, your account details in online or mobile banking, or the routing-number table on this page to find the one for your state. Domestic wires use a single routing number regardless of state.

What's the difference between Sentinel's ACH and wire routing numbers?

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.

How do I find my Sentinel routing number?

Your routing number is the first 9 digits in the bottom-left of a Sentinel 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.
