Are my Split Pay account and routing numbers a bank account?

No, even though they look like one. Your Split Pay account and routing numbers only work for paying through Split Pay — usually through your portal, lender, or servicer.

What they CAN do:

  • Receive a payment pull from your portal, lender, or servicer

  • Trigger the Split Pay split mechanic on that incoming payment

  • Receive a payment returned by your portal, lender, or servicer (which we automatically refund to your debit card)

What they CAN'T do:

  • Receive direct deposits (paycheck, government benefits)

  • Get used for ATM withdrawals or transfers

  • Pay other bills (utilities, credit cards, anything else)

  • Hold a balance you can spend

Think of them as a routing label, not a bank account. They tell your portal, lender, or servicer "send the payment here" — and that triggers Split Pay to handle the rest. They're not a place where money sits.

For anything other than your Split Pay-eligible bill, use your regular bank account or debit card.
