The fastest way to order checks from TD Bank

You can order checks from TD Bank in three ways: online through your account, by phone, or in person at a branch. Online ordering is the quickest — you log into TD Bank's website or mobile app, find the checks section, choose your design and quantity, and submit your order. Most people get their checks within 7 to 10 business days. If you need them faster, calling the bank's customer service line or visiting a branch in person may give you options for expedited delivery, though this usually costs extra.

Before you order, you'll need to know your account number and routing number — both appear on any check you already have, or you can find them in your online banking dashboard. You'll also choose how many checks you want (typically sold in packs of 25, 50, or 100) and whether you want a standard design or a custom one with your name and address printed on them.

Key Takeaways

  • TD Bank lets you order checks online, by phone, or in person, with online being the fastest option at 7 to 10 business days.
  • You need your account number and routing number before you start, both of which appear on existing checks or in your online banking account.
  • Standard check designs cost less than custom designs, and you choose your quantity in packs of 25, 50, or 100.
  • Expedited delivery is available but carries an additional fee; ask about timing when you place your order.

Ordering checks online through TD Bank's website

Log into your TD Bank account at tdbank.com or through the TD Bank mobile app. Once you're signed in, look for a section labeled "Checks" or "Order Checks" — this is usually found under Account Services or a similar menu. Click on it and you'll be asked to confirm which account you want checks for (if you have multiple accounts).

Next, you'll choose your check style. TD Bank offers standard designs at a lower price and custom designs where you can add a logo or choose colors. Select the quantity you need — most people order 100 checks at a time, though you can order smaller packs. Enter your delivery address (this is usually your mailing address on file, but you can change it), review the cost, and submit your order. You'll receive a confirmation number by email.

Payment is charged to your TD Bank account automatically. You don't pay separately — the cost is deducted from your checking account balance. If you want to track your order, you can usually do this through the same online portal where you placed it, though TD Bank may also send you an email when your checks ship.

Ordering checks by phone

Call TD Bank's customer service number, which you can find on the back of your debit card or on the TD Bank website. Tell the representative you want to order checks. Have your account number ready, and be prepared to confirm your identity — they may ask for your Social Security number or other personal information to verify you're the account holder.

The representative will ask you the same questions as the online form: which account, how many checks, what design, and where to send them. They can also tell you about expedited shipping options and their costs if you need checks faster than the standard 7 to 10 business days. Once you've answered their questions, they'll process the order and give you a confirmation number.

Ordering checks in person at a TD Bank branch

Walk into any TD Bank branch with your ID and ask to order checks. A teller or customer service representative will help you fill out an order form or process the order on their computer. This method takes the longest overall — you have to travel to the branch and wait — but it can be useful if you have questions or want to see sample designs in person before deciding.

In-branch ordering also works well if you're having trouble with online banking or prefer to handle financial matters face-to-face. The representative can explain your design options more thoroughly and answer questions about delivery time and cost.

What information you need before you order

Gather these details before you start your order, whether online, by phone, or in person:

  • Your account number: Find this on any check you already have, or log into online banking and look at your account details.
  • Your routing number: This is also on your checks (usually the first set of numbers on the bottom left). TD Bank's routing number varies by state, so don't guess — use the one from your existing checks or your online account.
  • Your mailing address: This is where your checks will be sent. Have it ready even if it's already on file, in case you want them sent somewhere else.
  • How many checks you want: Decide whether you need 25, 50, or 100 checks. Most people use 100 checks per year, so ordering 100 at a time is common.
  • Your preferred design: Decide between standard (cheaper) and custom (more expensive) before you order.

Cost and timing for TD Bank checks

The cost of checks varies depending on the design you choose and how many you order. Standard designs are cheaper than custom designs. Ordering larger quantities (like 100 checks instead of 25) usually brings the per-check cost down. TD Bank does not publish exact prices online — you'll see the cost when you place your order, whether online or by phone.

Standard delivery takes 7 to 10 business days from the time you place your order. If you need checks sooner, ask about expedited options when you order — these typically cost more and may take 3 to 5 business days instead. Some branches may be able to print checks on-site or offer rush delivery, but this is not available at all locations.

If you order online, the charge appears on your account within a day or two. If you order by phone or in person, the charge may take a few days to show up, but it will be deducted from your checking account balance.

What to do if your checks don't arrive

If your checks don't show up within the timeframe you were given, contact TD Bank's customer service using the number on your debit card or the TD Bank website. Have your confirmation number ready. The representative can check the status of your order and tell you whether they're still in transit, if there was a delivery issue, or if they need to reorder them.

If checks are lost in the mail, TD Bank can usually reorder them at no extra charge, though this will add another 7 to 10 days to your wait. In the meantime, you can use your debit card, online bill pay, or mobile payment apps to pay bills instead of writing checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order checks with a different address than what's on my account?

Yes. When you place your order online, by phone, or in person, you can specify a different mailing address for your checks. This is useful if you're moving or want checks sent to a work address. Just make sure the address is correct before you submit your order, because changing it after that may require you to place a new order.

What if I need checks before the standard 7 to 10 days?

Ask about expedited delivery when you place your order. Some TD Bank locations offer rush printing or faster shipping for an additional fee, though this is not available everywhere. Call customer service or visit a branch to find out what options are available in your area and how much they cost.

Can I order checks for a joint account?

Yes, but both account holders may need to be present or provide authorization, depending on your account setup and TD Bank's policies. Call customer service or visit a branch to confirm what's required for your specific account before you order.

Do I have to order checks through TD Bank, or can I use a third-party printer?

You can use a third-party check printer if you want, but make sure they use the correct routing number and account number for your TD Bank account. Many people find it simpler to order directly from the bank, and the cost is usually comparable. If you use an outside printer, keep a few blank checks from TD Bank on hand in case there are any issues.

What happens to my old checks if I order new ones?

Your old checks remain valid unless you close the account or TD Bank deactivates them for fraud reasons. Once you receive your new checks, you can use either the old or new ones — they draw from the same account. Most people straightforward stop using the old ones once the new ones arrive.
