You can order checks through Bank of America's website, mobile app, or by phone — the website is fastest and shows you pricing upfront
Bank of America lets you order checks in three ways: online through your account, through the mobile app, or by calling customer service. The online route takes about five minutes and you see the cost before you confirm. Checks arrive in seven to ten business days under standard delivery, or three to five business days if you pay for expedited shipping. You can also order checks through third-party vendors that Bank of America partners with, which are sometimes cheaper but take longer.
You need your account number and routing number to place an order, both of which appear on your existing checks or in your account details. If you do not have checks yet, you can still order — Bank of America will print your account number on them. The cost varies depending on the style and quantity you choose, and whether you use Bank of America's own printing service or a partner vendor.
Key Takeaways
- Ordering online through your Bank of America account is the fastest method and shows you the exact price before you complete the order.
- Standard delivery takes seven to ten business days; expedited shipping costs extra but arrives in three to five business days.
- You can order through Bank of America's own printing service or through partner vendors, which may have different pricing and delivery times.
- You need your account number and routing number to place an order, both visible on existing checks or in your account settings.
- Reordering checks is simpler than the first order — the system remembers your previous design and can print the same checks again.
Ordering checks online through your Bank of America account
Log into your Bank of America account on the website or mobile app and look for the "Order Checks" or "Checks" option, usually found under Account Services or a similar menu. Click through and the system will show you the account number and routing number it will print on your checks. You then choose your check style — Bank of America offers standard designs and some decorative options — and select the quantity (usually 100, 200, or 300 checks per box).
The system shows you the price for each option before you confirm. Bank of America's own checks typically cost between $10 and $30 per box depending on the style and quantity, though prices change. You can choose standard shipping (seven to ten business days) at no extra charge, or pay for expedited shipping if you need them sooner. Once you confirm and pay, you receive a confirmation number and an estimated delivery date.
Ordering through the Bank of America mobile app
The mobile app has the same ordering process as the website. Open the app, navigate to Account Services or Checks, and follow the same steps — select your design, quantity, and shipping speed. The app shows you the same pricing as the website. Some people find the app faster if they already have their login saved, but the process is otherwise identical.
One advantage of the app is that you can place an order from anywhere without needing a computer. The confirmation number and tracking information appear in the app when ready after you complete the order, so you can check on your shipment status anytime by opening the app again.
Ordering by phone
Call Bank of America customer service at the number on the back of your debit card or on your statement. Tell them you want to order checks. They will verify your identity, confirm your account number and routing number, and walk you through the available styles and quantities. They can tell you the price over the phone and process the order when ready.
This route takes longer than online ordering but works if you prefer speaking to someone or do not have access to a computer. The representative can also answer questions about design options or shipping times before you commit to an order. You will receive a confirmation number by phone and typically a follow-up email with tracking information once the checks ship.
Using Bank of America's partner vendors
Bank of America partners with third-party check printing companies that you can order through directly. These vendors sometimes offer lower prices than Bank of America's own service, and they may have more design options. However, delivery typically takes longer — often two to three weeks instead of seven to ten days. You can find links to these partners in your Bank of America account under the Checks section, or ask customer service for the current partners.
When you order through a partner vendor, you still use your Bank of America account number and routing number, but you are paying the vendor directly rather than Bank of America. Make sure you are ordering from a vendor Bank of America actually partners with, not a random check printing website, to may support the checks will work with your account. Partner vendors may also offer bulk discounts if you order a large quantity at once.
What happens after you place your order
Bank of America or the vendor will print your checks and ship them to the address on file with your account. You can usually track the shipment if you ordered online — the confirmation email or your account will have a tracking number. When the checks arrive, inspect them to make sure the account number and routing number are correct before you use them. If something is wrong, contact Bank of America or the vendor when ready.
Your old checks remain valid even after you order new ones. You do not need to stop using your current checks or wait for the new ones to arrive before you can write checks on your account. This means you can order new checks well before your current supply runs out, ensuring you never run short.
Reordering the same checks
If you want to order the same checks again — the same design, account number, and routing number — the process is even simpler. Bank of America remembers your previous order and can reprint it without you having to choose a design again. Log into your account, go to the Checks section, and look for an option to reorder.
The system will show you your last order and let you confirm the quantity and shipping speed. This is much faster than ordering checks for the first time because you skip the design selection step entirely. Most people reorder the same checks multiple times over the life of their account, so this streamlined process saves time each time you need a fresh supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Bank of America checks cost?
Bank of America checks typically cost between $10 and $30 per box of 100 checks, depending on the design and style you choose. Partner vendors may offer different pricing. The exact price appears on the screen when you order online, so you know the cost before you confirm.
Can I order checks if I just opened my account?
Yes. Bank of America will print your new account number on the checks. You can order them as soon as your account is open and you have your account number and routing number, which appear in your account settings or on any temporary checks the bank provides.
What if I need checks in a hurry?
Bank of America offers expedited shipping that delivers checks in three to five business days instead of seven to ten. This costs extra — typically $10 to $20 depending on how fast you need them. If you need checks even faster, some partner vendors may offer rush delivery, though this is less common.
Do I have to order checks from Bank of America?
No. You can order checks from any third-party check printing company and use them with your Bank of America account, as long as you provide the correct account number and routing number. These vendors are often cheaper than Bank of America's service, though delivery usually takes longer.
What if my checks arrive with the wrong information?
Contact Bank of America or the vendor when ready with your confirmation number and photos of the error. They will reprint the checks at no charge and ship them to you. Do not use checks with incorrect account or routing numbers, as they may not clear properly.
