The fastest way to order checks from Chase

You can order checks through Chase online, by phone, or in person at a branch. The online method is fastest — you log into your Chase account, go to the Checks section, choose your design, and the order ships to you in about 7 to 10 business days. If you need checks sooner, you can pick them up at a Chase branch in as little as one business day, though this option costs more.

Chase also lets you order through a third-party printer that Chase partners with. This route is usually cheaper than ordering through Chase directly, but takes longer — typically 10 to 14 business days. You do not need to go to a branch or call anyone; it all happens online.

Key Takeaways

  • Ordering checks online through your Chase account is the standard method and takes 7 to 10 business days to arrive.
  • You can pick up checks at a Chase branch in one business day if you need them urgently, but this costs more than mail delivery.
  • Third-party printers partnered with Chase offer cheaper checks but take 10 to 14 business days.
  • You will need your account number and routing number, which you can find on your existing checks or in your Chase account.
  • Reorder checks before you run out so you do not have gaps in your supply while waiting for delivery.

Ordering checks online through your Chase account

Log into Chase.com or the Chase mobile app and look for the Checks option, usually found under Account Services or a similar menu. You will see a button to order checks. Select your account, then choose from available check designs — Chase offers basic styles and some with custom options like your business logo.

Enter the quantity you want (typically 25, 50, or 100 checks per box), review the price, and confirm your delivery address. Chase will ship the checks to the address on file for your account. Standard delivery takes 7 to 10 business days. You will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number once the order ships.

Same-day or next-day pickup at a Chase branch

If you need checks right away, visit a Chase branch in person with your ID and ask about rush check orders. Not all branches offer this service, so call ahead to confirm. You will pay a rush fee on top of the check cost — the exact amount varies by branch and how quickly you need them.

For same-day pickup, you usually need to order before mid-morning. For next-day pickup, you can order later in the day. The branch will print your checks on-site or have them ready from a local printer. This option is useful if you have an urgent payment but costs significantly more than mail delivery.

Ordering through Chase's third-party printer

When you start an order online, Chase will show you the option to order through its partner printer. This is usually the cheapest way to get checks. The printer ships directly to you, and delivery takes 10 to 14 business days. You choose your design from the printer's catalog, which may be more limited than Chase's own options.

The trade-off is clear: you save money but wait longer. This route works well if you are not in a rush and want to keep costs down. You will still receive a confirmation and tracking information, just as you would with a Chase-direct order.

What information you need before ordering

Have your account number and routing number ready. Your account number is the long number on your existing checks, usually at the bottom right. Your routing number is the nine-digit code at the bottom left of your checks. If you do not have a check to look at, log into your Chase account online — both numbers appear in the Account Details or similar section.

You will also need to confirm the address where the checks should be mailed. Chase will default to the address on file for your account. If you want checks sent somewhere else, you can usually change this during the order process, though some branches may require you to update your address in your account first.

Cost and what affects the price

Chase charges for checks based on the quantity, design, and delivery method you choose. A basic box of 100 checks ordered online typically costs between $10 and $20, though the exact price depends on your account type and current promotions. Fancier designs cost more. Rush delivery or same-day branch pickup adds a significant fee — sometimes $15 to $30 or more.

Some Chase account types include free checks as a benefit. If you have a premium checking account, ask your branch whether checks are included. Third-party printer checks are usually the least expensive option, sometimes costing half what Chase charges directly.

How to reorder before you run out

Order new checks when you have about 20 to 30 checks left in your current box. This gives you a buffer so you do not run out while waiting for delivery. Chase makes this straightforward by letting you reorder the same design and quantity you ordered before — just log in, find the Reorder option, and confirm.

If you want to change the design or quantity, you can do that too. Just remember that standard delivery takes 7 to 10 business days, so plan ahead. If you miss this window and run out of checks, you can always use the rush pickup option at a branch, though it costs more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order checks if I just opened my account?

Yes, but you may need to wait a few days for your account to be fully set up in Chase's system. If you cannot find the Checks option online, call Chase or visit a branch — they can help you order, and you may be able to pick them up at the branch faster than waiting for mail delivery.

What if I made a mistake on my check order?

If you catch the error before the checks ship, contact Chase right away — you may be able to cancel and reorder. Once checks have shipped, you cannot stop them. If they arrive with errors, contact Chase customer service with your order number and photos of the mistake. Chase will usually reprint them at no charge.

Do I have to order through Chase, or can I use another printer?

You can order checks from other printers like Walmart, Costco, or independent check printers. They are often cheaper than Chase. Just make sure the printer uses your correct account number and routing number — mistakes here can cause checks to bounce or be rejected by banks.

How long do checks take to arrive if I order online?

Standard delivery through Chase takes 7 to 10 business days. Third-party printer orders take 10 to 14 business days. If you need them faster, visit a Chase branch and ask about rush pickup — usually available in one business day for an extra fee.

Can I order checks for a business account?

Yes, the process is the same. Log into your business account online, find the Checks section, and order. Business checks may have more design options and different pricing than personal checks. Some business account types include free checks, so ask your Chase business banker first.
