An Amegy Bank routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies a specific branch of Amegy Bank. For example, the routing number for the Amegy Bank branch in Houston, Texas is 111000024.
Routing numbers are essential for processing electronic payments, such as direct deposits, wire transfers, and ACH payments. They ensure that money is routed to the correct bank and account. In 1910, the American Bankers Association (ABA) introduced the first standardized routing system, which has since been adopted by banks and financial institutions worldwide.
