A Southside Bank routing number is a nine-digit code used to identify a specific financial institution and branch where an account is held. For example, the routing number for Southside Bank’s main branch in Tyler, Texas is 111900614.
Routing numbers are essential for processing electronic payments, such as direct deposits and wire transfers. They ensure that funds are sent to the correct account and help prevent fraud. The routing number system was originally developed in the 1910s by the American Bankers Association (ABA) to facilitate the exchange of paper checks between banks.
