My checking account has an eleven digit number ACH#, instead of a routing #. Your system won't accept my ACH#, so how can I complete my payment?

I don't know what the "ACH#" is, but you cannot use it for direct debit or direct deposit. Ask your bank what the 9-digit routing number is for direct debit.

(My guess is that the routing number is either the first 9 digits or the last 9 digits of the "ACH#," but ask the bank to be sure.)

@mcdanielmotors - google the name of your bank and 'routing number' - it is a 9 digit number that is standardized by the Federal Reserve. Also, if you have a check, it's the 9 digit number in the lower left corner of the check. this is a US Bank, right?

Only take the routing number from a check, not from a deposit slip.

Your account number may be 11 digits. But the routing number is nine digits. If it's not nine digits, then it's not a recognized financial institution of any type. The routing number is sometimes referred to as the ABA number. The ACH number is the identifier for the Automatic Clearing House and is also 9 digits. While for most banks the ACH number and ABA number can be the same, there's nothing that says they have to be.
