Routing number 101205940 is the official 9-digit ABA routing number registered to WELLS BANK at P O BOX 380, PLATTE CITY, MO 64079-0368. It is registered with the American Bankers Association and the Federal Reserve E-Payments Routing Directory.

How to Read Routing Number 101205940
The 9-digit number 101205940 is structured in three segments: 1012 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 WELLS BANK's transactions. 0594 is the ABA institution identifier — four digits assigned by the American Bankers Association uniquely to WELLS BANK. 0 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.
