  2. This routing number is printed on the bottom of your paper checks. It’s the series of nine digits on the left side. The numbers on the bottom right of a check indicate the check number itself, not the routing number.

The NCUA protects the safety and soundness of the credit union system by identifying, monitoring, and reducing risks to the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, the Share Insurance Fund provides up to $250,000 of federal share insurance to millions of account holders in all federal credit unions and the overwhelming majority of state-chartered credit unions.

**Truliant's foreign ATM fee is waived but fees from the owner of the ATM may apply (exceptions are for the 80,000 surcharge-free ATMs nationwide).
