Reply to comment by Degothia in Santander Bank asks for ID when depositing money. by continue_Banca_3223

One of my banks just slaps their routing number on their homepage, not even in a sign in area.

That's because it's not a unique identifier. Banks typically assign routing numbers by state / region the account was opened in. So for example, everyone who opens a checking account with citizens in RI has the same routing number.
