Bank checks have very hard to read digits to represent the Routing Number and Account Number. There is a character that resembles a digit that is used as a divider, but it is not clear what starts and stops on either end. The check number sometimes appears as the second item, and sometimes as the third item.
When you must provide a routing number and account number, the requesting institution (or phisher) provides a picture to inform you of how to find the info on a check. It is very condescending and ineffective. We know where the info should be. The instructions should be about Translation, not location.
It's best to keep handy this info (Routing # and Check #), extracted from a statement, welcome letter. Otherwise, you could be frustrated in an attempt to decipher the strange arrangement as printed by your Check Provider.
