Banner Bank routing number

Banner Bank has 35 different routing numbers due to its extensive acquisition history. Founded in 1890 in Walla Walla, Washington, Banner Bank grew significantly through strategic acquisitions of other banks across the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. Since 1999, Banner Bank has acquired over 15 financial institutions, including AmericanWest Bank in Spokane, Skagit Bank in Burlington, AltaPacific Bank in Santa Rosa, and numerous other community banks. When banks are acquired, the acquiring institution often maintains the original routing numbers for existing accounts to avoid disruption to customers' automatic payments, direct deposits, and bill pay arrangements. This means your routing number depends on which bank you originally opened your account with and when.

The easiest way to find your correct Banner Bank routing number is to check the bottom left corner of your personal checks, where the nine-digit routing number is printed. You can also log into Banner Online Banking, select your account, and view account details to see your routing number. If you opened your account directly with Banner Bank (especially after 2000), you likely use routing number 323371076, which is Banner Bank's primary routing number. However, if your account originated with an acquired bank like AmericanWest (Spokane area), you may use a different routing number such as 125108191. When in doubt, call Banner Bank at 1-800-527-6435 for verification.

No, you must use the specific routing number assigned to your account. Using an incorrect routing number can cause payment delays, rejected transactions, or funds sent to the wrong account. Even though Banner Bank maintains 35 different routing numbers, each account is associated with one specific routing number based on where and when it was opened. Always verify your routing number by checking your checks, online banking, or contacting Banner Bank customer service before setting up direct deposits, automatic payments, or wire transfers.

Banner Bank uses the same routing number for both ACH transfers and wire transfers for each individual account. For example, if your account uses routing number 323371076 for ACH transactions, you'll also use 323371076 for wire transfers. However, wire transfers require additional information and fees. Domestic wire transfers typically process same-day but require calling Banner Bank or using Business Online Banking for business customers. ACH transfers take 1-3 business days but are often free. Banner Bank also offers international wire services with SWIFT code BNNEUS66 for business customers through their Treasury Management division.

Banner Bank has SWIFT code BNNEUS66 for international wire transfers, primarily available through their Business Online Banking platform and Treasury Management services. International wire services are designed for business clients engaged in importing goods or services, with options to send funds in U.S. dollars or foreign currency. For personal international transfers, Banner Bank's capabilities may be limited, and you'll need to contact a branch or call 1-800-527-6435 to verify if international wire services are available for your account type. Most international wires require visiting a branch or working with Banner's international services team due to the complexity of cross-border payments.
