How to order checks from Chase

You can order checks from Chase in three ways: through your online banking account, by calling Chase customer service, or by visiting a branch in person. The fastest method is usually online — you can place an order in minutes and checks typically arrive within 7 to 10 business days. Calling takes longer because a representative has to process your request manually, and visiting a branch works only if you need checks urgently and are willing to pay a premium for expedited printing.

Before you order, have your account number and routing number ready. Chase will print your name, address, and account information on the checks automatically. You'll choose the style and quantity you want, then pay the fee — Chase charges for checks, and the cost varies based on the design and number of checks you order.

Key Takeaways

  • Online ordering through your Chase account is the fastest and cheapest way to get checks, with delivery in 7 to 10 business days.
  • You can call Chase customer service to order checks by phone, but processing takes longer than ordering online.
  • Visiting a Chase branch lets you request expedited checks, though you'll pay more for faster printing and pickup.
  • Chase charges a fee for checks based on the quantity and design you choose; the cost appears on your statement or is deducted from your account.
  • You need your account number and routing number to place an order, but Chase already has your name and address on file.

Ordering checks online through Chase

Log into your Chase online banking account and look for the "Checks" or "Order Checks" option, usually found under Account Services or a similar menu. Click through to the check ordering tool, select your account, and choose the check style you want. Chase offers standard designs and premium options with custom images or colors — the premium designs cost more.

Select the quantity of checks you need. Chase typically sells checks in packs of 25, 50, or 100. Enter your delivery address (this is usually your mailing address on file, but you can change it if needed), review the total cost, and confirm your order. You'll receive a confirmation email with an order number. Checks usually arrive within 7 to 10 business days, though delivery times can vary by location.

Ordering checks by phone

Call the customer service number on the back of your Chase debit card or on your monthly statement. Tell the representative you want to order checks. They'll ask for your account number, confirm your address, and walk you through style and quantity options. The representative will also tell you the cost before finalizing the order.

Phone orders take longer to process than online orders because the representative has to manually enter your request into the system. Expect your checks to arrive in 10 to 14 business days. If you're in a hurry, ask the representative whether expedited shipping is available and what it costs.

Getting checks at a Chase branch

Walk into any Chase branch with your debit card or ID and ask to order checks. A teller or banker can process your request on the spot. If you need checks urgently, ask about expedited options — some branches can print checks in-house or arrange for same-day or next-day pickup, though this service costs significantly more than standard ordering.

Not all branches offer in-house printing, so call ahead or ask when you arrive. If your branch doesn't have the capability, the teller can still place a standard order for you, which will arrive by mail in 7 to 10 business days.

Understanding check ordering costs

Chase charges for checks, and the price depends on the quantity and design. Standard checks cost less than premium designs with custom images, logos, or special colors. Ordering 25 checks costs less per check than ordering a smaller quantity, so buying in bulk saves money over time.

The fee is either deducted from your account balance or charged to your account and shown on your next statement — Chase will tell you which before you confirm the order. Expedited or in-house printing at a branch costs more than standard mail delivery. Some Chase accounts include free checks as a benefit, so log into your account or call to confirm whether your account type qualifies.

What to do if you need checks before they arrive

If you need to make a payment before your ordered checks arrive, ask the payee whether they accept electronic payments, a cashier's check, or a money order instead. You can get a cashier's check or money order from any Chase branch — a teller can issue one immediately for a small fee. A cashier's check is drawn on the bank's account rather than yours, so the payee knows the funds are may provide.

If you absolutely need personal checks within a day or two, visit a Chase branch and ask about expedited printing. Not all branches offer this, and the cost is high, but it's an option if the standard 7 to 10 day timeline doesn't work for you.

Reordering checks and managing your account

Once you've ordered checks once, reordering is simple — you can use the same online tool or call the same number. Chase keeps your preferences on file, so you can usually reorder the same style with one or two clicks. Some accounts let you set up automatic reordering when you're running low, though you'll need to check your account settings to see if this feature is available.

If you change your address, update it in your Chase account before ordering new checks. If you've already ordered checks and then move, contact Chase to see whether you can update the address on an order that hasn't shipped yet. Once checks are printed with your old address, you'll need to order a new batch with the correct address.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Chase checks cost?

The cost varies based on the quantity and design. Standard checks cost less than premium designs with custom images or colors. Ordering more checks at once usually lowers the per-check cost. Some Chase account types include free checks as a benefit. Log into your account or call customer service to see the exact price for your order.

Can I order checks if I just opened my account?

Yes. You can order checks as soon as your account is open and active. You'll need your account number and routing number, which Chase provides when you open the account. If you haven't received these yet, call customer service or visit a branch and they can help you order.

What if my checks arrive damaged or with errors?

Contact Chase customer service right away with your order number and photos of the damage or error. Chase will reprint and resend your checks at no charge. Do not use damaged checks or checks with errors — contact the bank first.

Can I order checks for a joint account?

How long do checks take to arrive?

Standard mail delivery takes 7 to 10 business days. Expedited options at a branch may take 1 to 2 business days or offer same-day pickup, but cost more. Call your local branch or ask when you order to confirm the timeline for your specific situation.
