The fastest way to order checks from Chase
You can order checks through your Chase online banking account, by phone, or in person at a branch. The online method is fastest — you log in, go to your account settings, and submit your order in about five minutes. Chase will mail the checks to the address on file, usually within 7 to 10 business days.
If you need checks sooner, you can pay for expedited shipping, though this costs extra. If you need them urgently — within a day or two — you may want to order from a third-party check printer instead, since those can sometimes deliver faster, though they are not Chase checks.
Before you order, have your account number and routing number ready. You will also need to decide how many checks you want and what style (standard, duplicate, or other options). Chase offers several designs, though the plain white standard check is the most common and least expensive.
Key Takeaways
- Order checks online through your Chase account by logging in, finding the checks or account services section, and following the prompts to select quantity and style.
- Standard delivery takes 7 to 10 business days; expedited shipping is available for an additional fee if you need them faster.
- You will need your account number, routing number, and the mailing address where you want the checks sent.
- Chase charges for checks — the cost depends on the quantity and style you choose, and you can see the price before you confirm your order.
- If you lose or misplace a check number, contact Chase when ready to report it, as anyone with that check number could potentially use it.
Ordering checks online through Chase.com
Log into your Chase online banking account at chase.com. Once you are signed in, look for a section labeled "Account Services," "Checks," or "Order Checks" — the exact label varies depending on whether you are using the desktop site or the mobile app, but it is usually in the account settings or account management area.
Click on the checks option. You will see a form asking you to confirm your mailing address and choose how many checks you want. Chase typically offers packs of 25, 50, or 100 checks. Select the quantity that makes sense for how often you write checks — if you rarely use them, 25 may be enough; if you write several a month, 50 or 100 is more practical.
Next, choose the check style. Standard white checks are the default and least expensive. Chase also offers designer checks with different colors or patterns, but these cost more. Once you have selected your options, the system will show you the total cost. Review it and confirm your order. You will receive a confirmation number.
Chase will mail the checks to the address you have on file. If that address is not correct, update it in your account settings before you place the order. Checks cannot be sent to a different address without contacting Chase directly.
Ordering checks by phone or at a branch
If you prefer not to order online, you can call Chase at the number on the back of your debit card or on your account statement. A representative will walk you through the same choices — quantity, style, and mailing address — and process your order over the phone. This takes about 10 minutes.
You can also visit a Chase branch in person. Bring your debit card or account information, and a banker can help you order checks on the spot. This is useful if you want to ask questions about check styles or if you need to update your mailing address before ordering.
Phone and in-person orders follow the same 7 to 10 business day delivery timeline as online orders, unless you pay for expedited shipping.
What to do if you need checks faster
Chase offers expedited shipping for an additional cost. When you order online, you will see the option to upgrade to faster delivery — usually 3 to 5 business days — before you confirm. The extra charge appears on your order summary, so you know the total cost upfront.
If even expedited Chase checks are not fast enough, you can order from a third-party check printer. Companies like Costco, Walmart, and online check printers like Deluxe or Carousel can print checks with your account and routing number in 1 to 3 business days. These are not Chase checks, but they work the same way in your bank account. You will need to provide your account number, routing number, and the name and address you want printed on the checks.
Third-party checks sometimes cost less than Chase checks, but not always — compare prices before you order. Make sure the printer you choose prints checks that are compatible with your bank (most are, but it is worth confirming).
Understanding check costs and what you are paying for
Chase charges a fee for checks. The amount depends on the quantity and style you order. A pack of 25 standard checks costs less than a pack of 100, and designer checks cost more than plain white ones. You will see the exact price when you place your order, before you confirm it.
Some Chase checking accounts include free checks as part of the account benefits — usually one free order per year or a certain number of free checks. Check your account details or call Chase to learn about your account includes this benefit. If it does, you may not be charged for your first order or may receive a discount.
The cost of checks is separate from your monthly account fee. It appears as a one-time charge when you order and is deducted from your account balance.
What information Chase needs to print on your checks
Chase will print your name, address, and account number on your checks automatically, using the information in your account. Your routing number (Chase's routing number, not a personal number) is also printed automatically and is the same on all Chase checks from your region.
You cannot add a phone number, email, or other personal details to the check itself through Chase's ordering system. If you want custom text or images on your checks, you would need to order from a third-party printer that offers that service.
Make sure the name and address on your account are correct before you order. If they are wrong, contact Chase to update them first, then place your order. Checks printed with incorrect information may not be accepted by banks or merchants.
What to do if your checks arrive damaged or with errors
Open your check pack as soon as it arrives and inspect it. If the checks are damaged, misprinted, or have the wrong account number, contact Chase right away. You can call the number on the back of your debit card or visit a branch with the damaged checks.
Chase will reorder your checks at no charge if there was an error on their end. This usually takes another 7 to 10 business days. If you need checks urgently while you wait for the replacement order, ask Chase if they can expedite the reorder or if you can pick up temporary checks at a branch.
If you notice that a check is missing from the pack or a check number is skipped, this is usually not a problem — check packs sometimes have slight variations. However, if you are missing an entire sequence of checks or suspect fraud, contact Chase when ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order checks to be sent to an address different from the one on my account?
Not through the online system — checks are mailed to the address on file in your account. If you need them sent elsewhere, call Chase at the number on your debit card and explain the situation. A representative may be able to process a special request, though this is not may provide.
What if I lose a check before I use it?
Contact Chase when ready and report the check number as lost. Chase can flag that check number in the system to prevent someone else from cashing it. You will need the check number, which is printed on the bottom left of each check. Have your account information ready when you call.
Do I have to order checks in a pack, or can I order just a few?
Chase sells checks in standard pack sizes — usually 25, 50, or 100. You cannot order fewer than 25 checks through Chase's system. If you only need a few checks, consider ordering from a third-party printer or asking your branch if they have temporary checks you can use while you wait for your order.
How long do checks take to arrive if I pay for expedited shipping?
Expedited shipping typically takes 3 to 5 business days, depending on your location and the time you place the order. The exact timeframe will be shown when you select expedited shipping during checkout. This is faster than standard delivery but still slower than third-party printers.
Can I reorder the same checks without going through the whole process again?
If you have ordered checks from Chase before, the system may remember your previous order and let you reorder with the same style and quantity. When you log in to order, look for a "Reorder" option. If it is not there, you can place a new order using the same steps as before.
