Check Serial Number

Parsing the Check Serial Number

Most banks print the check serial number in three easily recognizable spots. The printer firmware will look for the number in these spots, using the following ordered algorithm. The examples use letters to represent symbols on the check:

t

o

$

-

c

x

Transit symbol

“on us” symbol

Amount symbol

Dash

Check serial number

Any other number

A number bracketed by “on us” symbols in the auxiliary “on us” field is the check serial number.
