Hello StephanieG, and welcome to the community!

All banks do have routing numbers if you contact your bank and ask them for it they will be able to provide it.  Also when using a saving account most banks put limitations on how you can use them and could create issues with your PayPal account :(.  If the bank is not able to provide you the routing number then you would have to use a checking account. 

Hope this helps.
