How to Read Routing Number 231176570
The 9-digit number 231176570 is structured in three segments: 2311 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 STATE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION's transactions. 7657 is the ABA institution identifier — four digits assigned by the American Bankers Association uniquely to FIRST STATE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION. 0 is the check digit — a single digit calculated from the first eight digits using a weighted sum formula (3-7-1 multipliers).
