Deductive reasoning is that the B's and A's are your account number I direct deposit off cheques many times a month. I am 100% sure on that one ;) *NNN* *TTTTT*YYY* BBBB*AAAAAAA*

N= cheque number
Y= bank (which in your case I imagine is 003 for TD, BMO = 001, etc)
T= Branch (5 digits with alberta ending in 9, Sask in 8, BC =?)
Deductive reasoning is that the B’s and A’s are your account number

I direct deposit off cheques many times a month. I am 100% sure on that one ;)
