They're called routing numbers. So where do the checks get routed to?

Then we feed the checks into the MICR machine, which uses special ink to encode the account numbers on the bottom of the checks.

Welcome to Miami Mutual Bank. How may I help you? My name is Frank Taylor. I'm a copilot for Pan Am. I'd like to cash this check and then I'd like to take you out for a steak dinner.

Agent Mullen, it should be the square button by the side. This carousel doesn't work. It's a bad carousel. - Thank you. - Move it manually. This is a map of the 12 banks of the U.S. Federal Reserve. Slide. MICR scanners at every bank read these numbers at the bottom of the check. Slide. And then ship that check off to its corresponding branch. Carl, for those of us who are unfamiliar with bank fraud, you mind telling us what the hell you're talking about? The East Coast branches are numbered 01 to 06. The central branch is 07, 08, so on and so forth. You mean those numbers at the bottom of a check actually mean something? All of this was in the report I filed two days ago. If you change a 02 to a 12, that means that check, which was cashed in New York, does not go to the New York Federal Branch, but it is re-routed all the way to the San Francisco Federal Branch. The bank doesn't even know the check has bounced for two weeks. Which means our unsub can stay in one place, paper the same city over and over again while his checks circle the country. You want to talk to my wife.

Didn't that bank turn you down for a loan? Yes, they all turned me down.
