Santander Bank routing number

Santander Bank's multiple routing numbers stem from its acquisition history. The bank was originally founded as Sovereign Bank in 1902 in Pennsylvania. After Banco Santander acquired Sovereign in 2008 and rebranded it as Santander Bank in 2013, the institution retained different routing numbers from various regional acquisitions, including Independence Community Bank in 2006. The May 17, 2012 date represents when Santander consolidated certain operations, which is why some states have different routing numbers before and after this date.

No, you must use the routing number specific to the state where you opened your account and the date you opened it. Using the wrong routing number can cause payment delays, rejections, or funds being sent to the wrong account. The safest way to confirm your routing number is to check your account opening documents, look at a recent bank statement, or call Santander customer service at 1-877-768-2265.

Santander Bank typically uses the same routing number for both ACH transfers and domestic wire transfers. However, the routing number varies by state and account opening date. For international wire transfers, you'll need to provide Santander's SWIFT code (SVRNUS33) in addition to your routing number. Always verify with your bank before initiating a wire transfer to ensure you have the correct information.

Check your account opening documents, which should list the branch location where you established your account. You can also call Santander customer service at 1-877-768-2265 for assistance, or look at old bank statements which often show the branch location. Additionally, if you know whether your account number has 10 or 11 digits, this can help determine which routing number to use (11 digits = 011075150, 10 digits = 231372691).

No, routing numbers only work for domestic U.S. transfers. For international wire transfers, you need Santander Bank's SWIFT code: SVRNUS33. The recipient will also need your full account number, full name, and mailing address. International wire transfers must be initiated in person at a Santander branch and carry a fee of $40 per transfer, plus potential intermediary bank fees.
