How to Read Routing Number 262088116

The 9-digit number 262088116 is structured in three segments: 2620 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 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES CU's transactions. 8811 is the ABA institution identifier — four digits assigned by the American Bankers Association uniquely to FEDERAL EMPLOYEES CU. 6 is the check digit — a single digit calculated from the first eight digits using a weighted sum formula (3-7-1 multipliers).
