You can order checks through Bank of America's website, mobile app, or by phone — the website is fastest and shows your cost upfront
Bank of America lets you order checks 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 price 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'll need your account number and routing number, which appear on any check you already have.
The cost varies depending on the style and quantity you order. A basic box of 200 checks costs less than a box with custom designs or security features. Bank of America also offers duplicate and triplicate check options if your business needs them. You can reorder the same style later without starting from scratch — the system saves your preferences.

Ordering checks online through your Bank of America account
Log into your Bank of America account at bankofamerica.com and go to the Checks section, usually found under Account Services or Manage Your Account. Select the checking account you want checks for — if you have multiple accounts, the system asks you to pick one. Bank of America then shows you available check styles, ranging from plain to designs with logos or colors.
Choose your quantity (usually 100, 200, or 300 checks per box), select any security features you want, and review the price. The total includes the checks themselves and any shipping method you choose. Once you confirm, the order processes when ready and you receive a confirmation number by email. You can track your order status in the same section where you placed it.
Using the Bank of America mobile app to order checks
Open the Bank of America mobile app, tap on your checking account, and look for the Checks or Account Services option. The process mirrors the website: select your account, choose your check style and quantity, and confirm your order. The app shows the same pricing and delivery options as the website.
Mobile ordering works well if you're away from a computer, though some users find the website easier to navigate for comparing styles side by side. Either way, you get the same confirmation number and tracking information.
Ordering checks by phone
Call Bank of America customer service at the number on the back of your debit card or in your account statements. A representative can walk you through available styles, answer questions about pricing, and place the order for you. Phone ordering takes longer than online — typically 10 to 15 minutes — but works if you prefer speaking to someone or have questions about which style to choose.
The representative will confirm your account number, ask which checking account you want checks for, and go through the style and quantity options. They'll read back the total cost and delivery timeframe before finalizing the order. You'll receive a confirmation number at the end of the call.
Delivery timing and shipping costs
Standard delivery takes seven to ten business days from the time you place your order. This is the default option and has no extra charge beyond the cost of the checks themselves. Expedited delivery costs extra — the amount depends on how many checks you order — and arrives in three to five business days.
Bank of America ships checks to the address on file for your account. If you need them sent somewhere else, call customer service to update the shipping address before you order. Changing the address after you've placed the order may delay your delivery or require you to cancel and reorder.
Check styles and security features
Bank of America offers basic checks in black ink on white paper, as well as styles with colors, logos, or custom designs. The price difference between basic and custom is usually a few dollars per box. Security features like watermarks, microprinting, or special inks cost extra and help prevent fraud — these are more common for business accounts.
You can also order duplicate checks (two copies per check, one for you and one for your records) or triplicate checks (three copies). These cost more than single-copy checks but are useful for business record-keeping. The system shows you the price for each option before you confirm.
What information you need before you order
Have your account number and routing number ready. Both appear on any check you already have — the routing number is the first nine digits at the bottom left, and your account number follows it. If you don't have a check, log into your account online and look for Account Details or Account Information, where both numbers appear.
You'll also need to know which checking account you want checks for if you have more than one. The system asks you to confirm this before showing you pricing. If you're ordering by phone, have your debit card or account statement nearby so you can verify your identity.
Reordering the same checks later
Once you've ordered checks once, Bank of America saves your style choice. The next time you order, you can skip the style selection step and go straight to quantity and delivery method. This makes reordering faster — usually just two or three clicks online.
If you want to change the style, quantity, or any other detail on a reorder, you can do that at any point. The system treats each order separately, so changing your mind on one order doesn't affect future ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Bank of America checks cost?
The cost depends on quantity and style. A basic box of 200 checks typically costs between $15 and $25, while custom designs or security features cost more. Log into your account and go to the Checks section to see the exact price for the style and quantity you want.
Can I order checks for a business account?
Yes. Business checking accounts can order checks the same way as personal accounts — online, through the app, or by phone. Business accounts often have more style options and security features available, and you may be able to add your business logo.
What if I need checks faster than three to five business days?
Bank of America's fastest standard option is expedited delivery at three to five business days. If you need checks even sooner, you may need to visit a Bank of America branch in person to ask about rush options, though availability varies by location.
Can I cancel an order after I place it?
You can usually cancel within a few hours of placing your order online. Call customer service or log into your account to check your order status — if it hasn't shipped yet, a representative can cancel it. Once checks ship, cancellation becomes more difficult.
What address will my checks be shipped to?
Checks ship to the address on file for your account. If you need them sent to a different address, update it in your account settings before you order, or call customer service to change it before your order ships.
