How this service works
Validate a US ABA routing number before initiating a transfer: the 3-7-1 checksum, the public structure rules (9 digits; assigned prefixes 00-12 primary, 21-32 thrift, 61-72 electronic, 80 traveler's cheque) and the implied Federal Reserve district. Checksum and structure only — no bank-name directory (the Fed's is redistribution-restricted) and no proof of assignment. ?attest=1 → Ed25519-signed.
Output
Returns a JSON object with: valid (boolean, AND of checksum + structure), checksumValid (3-7-1 weighted checksum result), structureValid (9 digits and assigned prefix), federalReserveBank (district city), category (primary/thrift/electronic/travelers_cheque/government), optional message on structural failures, and optionally an Ed25519 attestation object containing algorithm, base64url signature, payload with timestamp, key ID, endpoint, and SHA-256 hash of the result for audit verification.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you check whether routing number 021000021 is a valid ABA routing number — specifically verify the 3-7-1 checksum and structure, and also give me a signed attestation so I have an audit trail?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://402utils.com/v1/routing-check?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to pre-validate an ABA routing number before initiating a US bank transfer (ACH, wire, payroll) and want checksum + structural assurance without hitting a live bank directory. Prefer this over a full bank-name lookup when you only need validity confirmation and optionally a cryptographically signed audit record. Ideal for automated payment pipelines, compliance checks, or any workflow where a tamper-evident Ed25519 attestation of routing number validity is required.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-9-digit input returns structureValid=false with an explanatory message field
- Unassigned prefix range returns structureValid=false
- Checksum failure returns checksumValid=false with valid=false
- Missing required routing query parameter returns an error response
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns HTTP 5xx
- Payment failure (x402) blocks access if USDC not provided
- Malformed routing string with letters or special chars returns structure error
