Edge Cases: Unusual Situations and Special Handling

Edge cases: Routing Number has 3 common edge cases that require special handling. This page covers the unusual situations and how to handle them.

Edge Case 1: Routing Number Change After Bank Merger

Banks occasionally change routing numbers, especially after mergers. The recon cutoff tool’s per-routing-change-flag identifies the case and the source of the new routing number.

Edge Case 2: Routing Number Discrepancy Between Sources. Sometimes the routing number on a check doesn’t match the bank. The recon cutoff tool’s per-routing-discrepancy-flag identifies the case.

Edge Case 3: Routing Number Unavailable (Faded or Hidden). Sometimes the routing number is not visible (e.g., faded, hidden). The recon cutoff tool’s per-routing-unavailable-flag identifies the case.

3 Common Mistakes

Mistake 1: Confusing routing number with similar attributes. The recon cutoff tool’s per-routing-number-confusion-flag identifies this.

Mistake 2: Ignoring the edge cases. A common failure mode bookkeepers report is the routing number edge case causing a denial. The recon cutoff tool’s per-routing-number-edge-case-flag identifies this.

Mistake 3: Using generic examples instead of real values. The recon cutoff tool’s per-routing-number-real-example-flag validates the values.
