You can order checks through Bank of America's website, mobile app, or by calling their customer service line

Bank of America lets you order checks in three ways: online through your account, through the mobile app, or by phone. The online and app routes are fastest — you'll see your order confirmed in minutes. Phone ordering takes longer because you'll need to speak with a representative, but it works if you prefer not to use digital channels.

Checks typically arrive within 7 to 10 business days after you place the order, though this can vary depending on your location and the time of year. You'll pay a fee for the checks themselves — the cost depends on the style and quantity you choose. Bank of America also offers rush delivery for an additional charge if you need them sooner.

Key Takeaways

  • Order checks online through your Bank of America account, through the mobile app, or by calling 1-800-432-1000 to speak with a representative.
  • Standard delivery takes 7 to 10 business days; rush delivery is available for an extra fee if you need checks sooner.
  • You'll need your account number and routing number handy, though the system usually pulls these automatically if you're logged in.
  • Bank of America charges for checks based on the style and quantity — the price varies, so you'll see the total before confirming your order.
  • You can choose from standard designs or personalized options with your name and address printed on them.

Ordering checks online through your Bank of America account

Log into your Bank of America account on their website or mobile app. Look for the "Checks" or "Order Checks" option — this is usually found under account services or settings. Click through and you'll see a list of check styles available, along with the price for each quantity (typically 25, 50, or 100 checks per order).

Select the style you want, choose your quantity, and review the preview to make sure your name and address are correct. The system pulls this information from your account automatically. You'll see the total cost before you confirm, and you can choose standard or rush delivery at this point. Once you confirm, you'll receive an order number and an estimated delivery date.

Ordering checks by phone

Call Bank of America's customer service line at 1-800-432-1000. Tell the representative you want to order checks. They'll ask for your account number and verify your identity — be ready to answer security questions or provide information from your account.

The representative will walk you through the available styles and quantities, give you pricing, and confirm your delivery address. This process takes longer than ordering online, but it's useful if you have questions about which style to choose or if you're having trouble with the website or app.

What information you'll need to have ready

If you're ordering online or through the app, you won't need much — just log into your account and the system pulls your account number and address automatically. If you're ordering by phone, have your account number ready, though the representative can look it up if you provide your Social Security number and other identifying information.

Make sure the address on file with Bank of America is correct before you order, because that's where your checks will be printed and mailed. If you've moved recently and haven't updated your address, do that first — you can change it in your account settings or by calling customer service.

Understanding check styles and pricing

Bank of America offers standard checks with basic designs and personalized checks where you can add your name, address, and sometimes a logo or image. Standard checks cost less; personalized options cost more. The exact price depends on the quantity you order and the style you choose.

You'll see all available options and their prices before you confirm your order, so you can compare and choose what fits your budget. Some people order just 25 checks to start if they're not sure how many they'll use; others order 100 at once because the per-check cost is lower.

Rush delivery and expedited options

If you need checks faster than the standard 7 to 10 business days, Bank of America offers rush delivery for an additional fee. This typically gets your checks to you in 3 to 5 business days. The exact timeframe and cost vary, so check the delivery options when you're placing your order.

Rush delivery is useful if you've run out of checks unexpectedly or if you're opening a new account and need them quickly. Keep in mind that even rush delivery takes several days, so if you need a check today, you'll need to visit a branch in person and ask about getting a counter check or cashier's check instead.

What happens after you place your order

You'll receive a confirmation email with your order number and estimated delivery date. Your checks will be mailed to the address on file with your account. If you don't receive them within the timeframe given, you can contact Bank of America customer service with your order number and they can look up the status.

When your checks arrive, inspect them to make sure they're correct — your account number, routing number, and personal information should all match what you provided. If something is wrong, contact Bank of America right away and they can reorder them at no charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order checks if I have a savings account instead of a checking account?

No. Checks are only used with checking accounts. If you have a savings account and need to make payments, you'll need to transfer money to a checking account first or use other payment methods like transfers or bill pay.

What if I want to order checks with a different name or address than what's on my account?

You can't order checks with information that doesn't match your account. Checks must have your legal name and the address on file. If you need to change either, update your account information first through your Bank of America account settings or by calling customer service.

Do I have to order checks from Bank of America, or can I use a third-party printer?

You can order from third-party check printers, which are often cheaper than ordering through the bank. However, you must make sure the checks are compatible with your account — they need the correct routing number and account number printed on them. Bank of America can provide these numbers if you ask.

How much do Bank of America checks cost?

Pricing varies based on the style and quantity you choose. Standard checks cost less than personalized ones, and ordering 100 checks is cheaper per check than ordering 25. You'll see the exact price before you confirm your order.

Can I reorder the same checks without going through the whole process again?

Yes. If you've ordered checks before, Bank of America usually lets you reorder the same style and quantity with one or two clicks. Look for a "reorder" option in your account or contact customer service.
