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

How to Read Routing Number 242076821
The 9-digit number 242076821 is structured in three segments: 2420 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 GENERAL ELECTRIC CREDIT UNION's transactions. 7682 is the ABA institution identifier — four digits assigned by the American Bankers Association uniquely to GENERAL ELECTRIC CREDIT UNION. 1 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.
