Abstract
A system and method for paying bills which uses bank routing numbers. A service provider receives a bank routing number from a consumer, the routing number belonging to the bank at which the consumer maintains a deposit account. The service provider verifies that this received routing number is correct. The verification includes comparing the received routing number to a database of routing numbers which the service provider has obtained from banks.
