  1. shine on me... says:

    Like your bank account number, your routing number should be kept equally secret.

    Yes. With that number, they could also potentially take money out of your account unless you set up some sort of protection like a password,but even that isn’t a failsafe. If you want people to send you money, use money orders made out to you sent to your address and check your mail daily right after the mail arrives until you receive it. Then you can deposit in your account yourself without having to reveal your routing number.
