How to Read Routing Number 255078052
The 9-digit number 255078052 is structured in three segments: 2550 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 MONTGOMERY COUNTY POSTAL FCU's transactions. 7805 is the ABA institution identifier — four digits assigned by the American Bankers Association uniquely to MONTGOMERY COUNTY POSTAL FCU. 2 is the check digit — a single digit calculated from the first eight digits using a weighted sum formula (3-7-1 multipliers).
