I’d like to open a Money Market, please.
Okay.
Teller: Welcome to Miami Mutual Bank. How may I help you?
Frank: My name is Frank Taylor. I’m a copilot for Pan Am. I’d like to cash this check here, and then I’d like to take you out for a steak dinner.
Teller: … and then we feed the checks into the MICR machine which uses special ink to encode the account numbers on the bottom of the checks.
Frank: And where are these numbers?
Teller: They’re, um… right here.
Frank: Right there?
Teller: See? They’re called routing numbers.
Frank: So where do the checks get routed to?
Teller: You know, I don’t exactly know. Nobody ever asked me that before.
