Our Canadian customers may be confused when entering their bank information in the signing up process. Many users turn to us because they find that their bank only has a 8-digit routing number while Borderless's form asks for 9. However, the way Borderless collects Canadian Routing numbers is correct. It causes confusion because of how the order is read on the cheques in Canada.

👉 To form a routing number, start with 0 followed by INSTITUTION NUMBER and followed by TRANSIT NUMBER.
