You can order checks directly from Bank of America through their website, mobile app, or by calling customer service

Bank of America offers three main ways to order checks: online through your account dashboard, through the mobile app, or by phone. The online method is fastest — you can place an order in minutes and choose delivery speed at checkout. If you prefer to speak with someone, calling 1-800-432-1000 connects you to a representative who can process your order and answer questions about pricing and delivery times.

Checks typically arrive within 7 to 10 business days for standard delivery, though Bank of America also offers expedited options if you need them sooner. You'll pay a fee for each box of checks you order — the cost varies depending on the style and quantity you choose, and whether you select standard or faster shipping.

Key Takeaways

  • Order checks online through your Bank of America account, through the mobile app, or by calling 1-800-432-1000.
  • Standard delivery takes 7 to 10 business days; expedited options are available at a higher cost.
  • You'll need your account number and routing number, which appear on your existing checks or in your account details.
  • Bank of America charges a fee per box of checks, with prices varying by check style and design options.
  • You can customize check designs, add a second signature line, or order duplicate checks if needed.

Ordering checks online through your Bank of America account

Log into your Bank of America account on the website or open the mobile app. From the account menu, look for "Order Checks" or "Manage Checks" — the exact wording varies slightly between the website and app, but both options appear in the main account settings. Click through and you'll see your account information pre-filled, including your account number and routing number.

Select the number of boxes you want to order. Bank of America typically sells checks in boxes of 25, 50, or 100. Choose your check design from the available styles — options range from plain to personalized with your name and address. You can also add features like a second signature line or duplicate checks (a carbon copy that stays in your checkbook). Review the price for each option before you proceed.

At checkout, select your delivery method. Standard delivery costs less but takes longer; expedited options arrive faster at a higher price. Enter a shipping address if it differs from your account address, then complete the payment. You'll receive a confirmation number and an estimated delivery date.

Ordering checks by phone

Call Bank of America customer service at 1-800-432-1000 and tell the representative you want to order checks. Have your account number ready — they'll verify your identity and pull up your account details. The representative will walk you through the same choices you'd see online: number of boxes, design style, and delivery speed.

Phone ordering takes longer than online ordering because the representative must enter your information manually, but it's useful if you have questions about pricing, design options, or delivery times. The representative can also help if you need checks sooner than standard delivery allows — they can explain expedited options and their costs.

What information you'll need to have ready

You'll need your Bank of America account number, which appears on your existing checks or in your online account dashboard. You'll also need your routing number — for Bank of America, this is usually 026009593 for most accounts, but it can vary by state and account type. Both numbers appear on the bottom left of any check you already have.

If you're ordering checks for a joint account, both account holders' names will appear on the checks. If you want only your name on the checks, contact Bank of America before ordering to discuss options. Have your shipping address ready, especially if it differs from the address on your account.

Delivery times and expedited options

Standard delivery takes 7 to 10 business days from the time Bank of America processes your order. This means if you order on a Monday, your checks will likely arrive the following week or the week after. Expedited delivery options are available but cost more — Bank of America offers 3-business-day and next-business-day options depending on when you place your order and your location.

If you need checks urgently, next-business-day delivery is the fastest option, though it carries a significant fee. For most situations, standard delivery is sufficient — plan ahead if you know you'll need new checks soon. If your checks run out before new ones arrive, you can use your debit card or mobile payment apps as alternatives.

Pricing and what affects the cost

Bank of America charges per box of checks, not per individual check. A standard box of 25 checks costs less than a box of 100, so ordering larger quantities spreads the cost across more checks. Personalized designs, duplicate checks, and special features like a second signature line add to the price.

Expedited delivery also increases the total cost — next-business-day delivery costs significantly more than standard 7 to 10-day delivery. The exact prices change periodically, so check the order page for current rates. Some Bank of America account types or membership levels may offer discounts on check orders, so ask the representative if you may have access to.

Reordering checks and managing your supply

You can reorder checks at any time through the same online or phone methods. Many customers order new checks when they have about 50 checks left in their current supply, which gives them time to receive the new order before running out. Bank of America's system remembers your previous order details, so reordering is faster — you can usually just confirm the same design and quantity.

If you want to change the design, add features, or order a different quantity, you can do that during reordering. If you've lost checks or suspect fraud, contact Bank of America when ready — they can stop payment on missing checks and may offer a replacement order at no charge.
