How to Read Routing Number 261388930
The 9-digit number 261388930 is structured in three segments: 2613 is the Federal Reserve routing symbol — the first two digits identify the Federal Reserve district and the next two identify the specific Federal Reserve processing office handling BCBST EMPLOYEES CU's transactions. 8893 is the ABA institution identifier — four digits assigned by the American Bankers Association uniquely to BCBST EMPLOYEES CU. 0 is the check digit — a single digit calculated from the first eight digits using a weighted sum formula (3-7-1 multipliers).
