Where is the Wachovia bank location with this routing number 026012881?

Answer 1

That is not a particular Wachovia location, but rather that is the routing code for Wachovia generally. You account number tells them where to put money in or out, once it gets to Wachovia.

The branches exist for the convenience of customers, but all banking really occurs in central processing facilities (back office operations) for the banks. Once a transaction gets to the back office from the routing number, it then debits or credits your account number.
