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 can place an order in a few minutes and see pricing before you commit. Phone orders take longer but work if you prefer talking to someone or have questions about check styles.
Checks typically arrive within 7 to 10 business days after you place the order. You can choose standard checks or add features like duplicate copies or extra security. The cost varies based on the style and quantity you order, and Bank of America charges per box rather than per check.

Ordering checks online through your Bank of America account
Log into your Bank of America account at bankofamerica.com and look for the "Checks" or "Order Checks" link, usually found under the Accounts or Services section. Click through and select the account you want checks for — if you have multiple accounts, the system will ask which one. You'll see a list of check designs with prices displayed next to each one.
Choose your design, then select the quantity (usually 25, 50, or 100 checks per box) and any add-ons like duplicate copies. Review your order, confirm your mailing address, and complete the purchase. You'll receive a confirmation number and an estimated delivery date. Bank of America will charge your account when ready.
Ordering through the Bank of America mobile app
Open the Bank of America app, tap the menu icon, and navigate to "Checks" or "Order Checks." The process mirrors the website: select your account, choose a design, pick your quantity, and confirm your address. The app shows the same designs and pricing as the website, so you're not limited by ordering mobile.
One advantage of the app is that you can photograph your existing check to confirm your account and routing numbers are correct before you submit the order. This reduces the chance of an error that would delay delivery.
Ordering checks by phone
Call Bank of America at 1-800-432-1000 and tell the representative you want to order checks. Have your account number ready. The representative will walk you through available designs, explain the pricing for each, and ask about quantity and add-ons. They can also answer questions about delivery time or special requests.
Phone orders take longer than online or app orders because the representative has to enter your information manually. However, if you're unsure about which design to choose or want to discuss options, this route gives you real-time guidance. The representative will confirm your mailing address before finalizing the order.
Check designs and pricing
Bank of America offers several standard designs at no extra charge, plus premium designs that cost more. Standard designs typically run $15 to $20 per box of 25 checks. Premium or personalized designs range from $20 to $30 or higher depending on the level of customization.
You can also add duplicate copies (a carbon copy behind each check) or security features like watermarks. These additions increase the per-box cost. When you order online or through the app, the system shows the final price before you confirm, so you know exactly what you're paying.
Delivery and what to do if checks don't arrive
Standard delivery takes 7 to 10 business days. Bank of America sends checks to the mailing address on file for your account. If you need checks faster, expedited shipping is available for an additional fee — ask about this option when you order.
If your checks don't arrive within the stated timeframe, contact Bank of America customer service at 1-800-432-1000 with your order confirmation number. They can track the shipment and reorder if necessary. If checks arrive damaged or with errors (wrong account number, misspelled name), call the same number and request a replacement at no charge.
Information you need before you order
Have your Bank of America account number and routing number ready. Both appear on the bottom left of any existing checks you have. If you don't have a check to reference, log into your online account and look for your account details — the routing number is usually listed there as well.
You'll also need to confirm the mailing address where you want checks sent. Bank of America defaults to the address on file, but you can change it during checkout if you're moving or want checks sent elsewhere. Make sure the address is correct before you submit the order, because checks sent to the wrong address will be delayed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Bank of America checks cost?
Standard checks cost between $15 and $20 per box of 25 checks. Premium designs and added features like duplicate copies or security watermarks cost more, typically $20 to $30 per box. The exact price depends on the design you choose and appears on screen before you confirm your order.
Can I order checks for a joint account?
Yes. When you log in and select the account to order for, joint accounts appear in the list. The checks will print both account holders' names if that's how the account is registered. If you want only one name on the checks, contact Bank of America customer service before ordering.
What if I need checks faster than 7 to 10 days?
Bank of America offers expedited shipping for an additional fee. The timeframe for expedited delivery varies, so ask about it when you order. You can also visit a Bank of America branch in person to ask about emergency check options, though availability depends on the branch.
Can I reorder the same checks without going through the design process again?
Yes. If you've ordered checks before, Bank of America stores your previous order details. When you order again, you can usually select "Reorder" to use the same design and settings, which speeds up the process.
What happens if my checks arrive with the wrong information?
Contact Bank of America at 1-800-432-1000 with your order confirmation number and a description of the error. They will reorder your checks at no charge and send them to the correct address. Do not use checks with incorrect account numbers or routing information.
