ABA numbers are bank routing and transit numbers that are assigned to banks and credit unions in the United States. These are 9 digit values with a built-in checksum value that results from an internal algorithm to ensure that a given 9 digit string is in fact a real ABA number.
We have a small and very simple component to help programmers using .NET to perform the ABA validation without worrying about the internal algorithm involved, just feed it a string and it will perform its magic to let you know if the string is a validly formatted ABA number or not, and if it isn’t, how it is wrong so you can let your users know.
