List Routing Numbers

You can use this API to confirm if a routing number is valid, such as when a user is providing you with bank account details. Since routing numbers uniquely identify a bank, this will always return 0 or 1 entry. In Sandbox, only a few routing numbers are valid. 110000000 is an example of a Sandbox routing number.
