- Five digits that identify the branch. Also called the branch number or branch transit number.
- Institution number
- Three digits that identify the bank or credit union: 003 for RBC, 004 for TD. The same for every branch of that institution.
- Electronic routing number
- Nine digits for direct deposit and payment files: a 0, the institution number, then the transit number, with no dash.
- Cheque (MICR) format
- The transit number, a dash, then the institution number, as printed along the bottom of a cheque.
