It is registered with the American Bankers Association and the Federal Reserve E-Payments Routing Directory.

How to Read Routing Number 082900319

The 9-digit number 082900319 is structured in three segments: 0829 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 FIRST NATL BK's transactions. 0031 is the ABA institution identifier — four digits assigned by the American Bankers Association uniquely to FIRST NATL BK. 9 is the check digit — a single digit calculated from the first eight digits using a weighted sum formula (3-7-1 multipliers). Payment processing systems run this calculation in real time to catch routing number entry errors before any funds move.
