Canadian Transit Number generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The Canadian Transit Number generator creates standardized 9-digit codes used to identify financial institutions and their specific branches in Canada. These transit numbers are essential for processing domestic payments, such as checks and electronic funds transfers.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
CTN	18117-056, 34482-671, …	character varyingcharactertextdecimalintegerbigint	CA

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

The column name starts with ‘CA’, then goes ‘Transit’, preceded or followed by any or no characters, and ends with ‘Number’, regardless of the table name.
The column name is ‘CTN’, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.
