Ops normal from pushback to takeoff roll.  I was flying pilot; [the] Captain non-flying pilot.   Power was set and autothrottles and FMAs all had normal indications. At approximately 60 knots there was a loud bang and the jet swerved to the right.   I steered the jet back to centerline with rudder and the Captain initiated the abort.  We stopped quickly on the runway and told ATC we'd aborted and instructed the passengers to remain seated.  After quickly assessing the risk; and talking with the Lead Flight Attendant; Captain determined it was safe to taxi clear of Runway XX and we stopped on the parallel taxiway. We requested assistance from [the] Fire Department to look at the landing gear to ensure we hadn't blown a tire or had smoke/fire coming off the brakes.   After getting the all-clear; we coordinated with Operations/Tech Ops to return to Gate X.  We closely monitored brake temp indications during the taxi back and saw that they were all decreasing in normal fashion as expected.  We were met by many company personnel at the gate and Maintenance was able to quickly determine we had an Engine Number 2 compressor stall during takeoff roll.  Passengers deplaned in normal fashion through Door 1L; and the flight crew was then escorted up to ZZZ Flight Ops to discuss our readiness and ability to continue flying the trip.  Captain and I then proceeded to fly as scheduled.
During takeoff roll; heard a loud bang and aircraft swerved to the right.  Executed rejected takeoff procedure.  Exited runway.  Personnel inspected aircraft externally.  No visible damage and no fires were detected.  Returned to gate.  Maintenance data showed engine stall on Number 2 Engine. My compliments to the First Officer and Flight Attendants for their professionalism during this unexpected event.
Air carrier flight crew reported that an engine compressor stall occurred during takeoff roll; causing the aircraft to swerve and the crew to reject the takeoff.
