How to Read Routing Number 272486449
The 9-digit number 272486449 is structured in three segments: 2724 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 RIVER VALLEY CU's transactions. 8644 is the ABA institution identifier — four digits assigned by the American Bankers Association uniquely to RIVER VALLEY CU. 9 is the check digit — a single digit calculated from the first eight digits using a weighted sum formula (3-7-1 multipliers).
