Routing Bank Number Checker API

The Routing Bank Number Checker API is a tool that allows developers to validate bank routing numbers. This API checks the validity of the routing numbers entered, ensuring that they are correct and belong to a legitimate bank. It can be integrated into banking or financial software applications to prevent fraud and errors in transactions.

About the API: 

The Routing Bank Number Checker API is a powerful tool for financial institutions and businesses that handle financial transactions. It provides a simple and efficient way to validate the routing numbers of banks, ensuring that payments are processed accurately and securely. With this API, developers can easily integrate routing number validation into their applications, minimizing the risk of errors and fraud.

The API works by verifying the routing number against a database of legitimate banks. If the routing number is invalid or does not belong to an existing bank, the API will return an error message, indicating that the payment cannot be processed. On the other hand, if the routing number is valid, the API will deliver additional information about the bank, such as the bank name, address, and phone number. This information can be used to verify the legitimacy of the bank and ensure that the payment is being sent to the correct institution.

In addition to validating routing numbers, the Routing Bank Number Checker API can also be used to check the status of a bank account. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that need to verify the status of a customer's bank account before processing a payment. By using the API, businesses can avoid sending payments to closed or inactive accounts, which can result in costly fees and delays.

The Routing Bank Number Checker API is easy to integrate into existing applications, with a simple RESTful interface that supports both XML and JSON formats. The API also includes comprehensive documentation, code examples, and support for multiple programming languages, making it easy for developers to get started.

Overall, the Routing Bank Number Checker API is a valuable tool for any business or financial institution that handles financial transactions. By ensuring the accuracy and security of payments, businesses can save time and money, while providing a better customer experience. With its powerful features and ease of integration, the API is a must-have for any organization that wants to streamline its payment processing and improve its bottom line.

The Routing Bank Number Checker API is a tool that developers can use to validate bank routing numbers. It allows you to check the accuracy and legitimacy of routing numbers associated with banks.

Validating bank routing numbers is crucial for ensuring that financial transactions are processed accurately. By using the Routing Bank Number Checker API, you can verify that the routing numbers entered belong to legitimate banks, reducing the risk of errors or fraudulent activities.

To use the API, you pass a routing number as a parameter. The API will then check the validity of the routing number and provide information about the associated bank, including the bank's name, address, city, state, zip code, and contact phone number.

If an invalid or nonexistent routing number is provided, the API will return an error response indicating that the routing number is not valid. The response will provide appropriate error codes or messages to indicate the issue.

The Routing Bank Number Checker API processes one routing number at a time. If you need to validate multiple routing numbers, you will need to make separate API calls for each routing number.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]

To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
