What bank info do I need to give the work manager?

Question

0k so I live in Canada, is routing number the same as transit number? I have a transit number and its 4 digits. I also have the checking account number which is 7 digits. Is this all I need?

Answer 1

The jobs I've worked for always just asked for a voided check and the numbers on the bottom of the check are the routing numbers. Although, I'm not sure if it's different in Canada than in the US

Answer 2

not sure about canada...but the routing/transit numbers in the U.S. are 9 didget.  Why don't you ask them?

Answer 3

Yes, that should be all you need - assuming he's asking this so they can pay you by direct deposit (Take him a check you've written VOID over in big letters, being careful not to write over the numbers).  If its not for a direct deposit of your paycheck into your account, he may be wanting to do it as part of a background/credit check which is a different thing - its legal to do a credit check in the US if handling money is part of the job.  Be sure you know why he wants this information and if its a valid/routine question for the kind of work you're doing.
