What is the Direct Express routing number?
The routing number for Direct Express is not publicly available. The Direct Express Debit Mastercard, issued by Comerica Bank, only accepts funds paid to you by the federal government, so a routing number is not necessary for use. The card can receive federal government benefits, such as Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and veterans' payments, electronically.
Even though you cannot receive or deposit money onto your Direct Express card, you can make purchases from merchants that accept debit card payments, withdraw cash from an ATM, bank or credit union with a MasterCard logo, and pay your bills online or over the phone.
Direct Express also allows you to make transfers to a personal bank account in the U.S. for a service fee of $1.50 per transaction. You can process the transfer via www.usdirectexpress.com, through the mobile app, or by calling customer service at 1-888-741-1115.
