Short answer: log in to Bank of America Online Banking or the app, select your checking account and choose Order account supplies/accessories. You can also ask Erica, “Order checks.” BofA Rewards members in the Preferred Plus tier and above get free or discounted standard checks; everyone else should compare the price with Bank of America-compatible checks from an online printer, which are often cheaper.

Who gets free checks: Bank of America’s fee schedule (08/2026) says BofA Rewards members in the Preferred Plus or Preferred Honors tiers get free standard checks or discounts on certain designs. At the Premier tier, checks and deposit tickets are free in any style, and the expedited delivery fee is waived. If that’s you, ordering through the bank is the cheapest option.
SafeBalance has no checks. Bank of America tells Advantage SafeBalance customers not to buy checks anywhere; checks presented on the account won’t be paid.

Cheaper option: order Bank of America-compatible checks online
Your checks don’t have to come from Bank of America. What makes a check work is the routing, account and check numbers printed in magnetic ink along the bottom, so any U.S. check printer can print them. Checks Unlimited verifies every order against your bank’s records.
Without BofA Rewards check pricing, a printer is usually cheaper. It also has far more designs, which is what most people searching for “Bank of America check designs” want.
What you need
- Your Bank of America routing number (bottom left of a Bank of America check)
- Your checking account number
- A starting check number higher than your last check
- Your name and address exactly as Bank of America has them on file
- A current check to copy from (not a deposit slip)
Steps
- Pick a design and quantity (singles are cheapest; duplicates make a carbon copy).
- Enter your bank details, starting number, name and address.
- Preview carefully: printers print exactly what you type.
- Choose shipping (trackable is safer) and pay.

Security features
Bank of America’s check shipping page recommends trackable delivery for financial documents.
Checks Unlimited lists a MicroPrint signature line (it turns dotted when copied), chemical and erasure protection, and a security screen on the back. Its optional SentryShield protection is added at extra cost and can be removed. Choose trackable delivery and store unused checks securely.
Delivery time
Bank of America’s check shipping page says printing takes 1–2 business days. Standard trackable delivery then takes 7–10 business days and First Class Mail 5–7 business days, untracked. Overnight and 2-day options include rush printing, but you must order by 11:00 a.m. local time on a weekday, and they don’t deliver to P.O. boxes.
Checks Unlimited: printing usually takes 2–5 business days, and printing plus standard delivery takes up to 15 business days in total after order verification (7–11 with trackable delivery). In-Plant Rush ($6.99) gets your order ready to ship within 2 business days. If you’re nearly out, pay for rush or use the bank’s fastest option.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use checks from another company with my Bank of America account?
Yes, for checking accounts that allow check writing. A printer uses your routing and account numbers and verifies them before printing. Don’t buy checks for an Advantage SafeBalance account; it has no check writing.
Are Bank of America checks free?
BofA Rewards members in the Preferred Plus or Preferred Honors tiers get free standard checks or discounts on certain designs, and the Premier tier gets free checks in any style. Otherwise the price depends on the style and appears when you order.
How long do Bank of America checks take?
About 1–2 business days to print plus 5–10 business days to ship, unless you pay for overnight or 2-day delivery.
Where do I find my Bank of America routing number?
It’s the first 9-digit number along the bottom of your checks, also shown in Online Banking. It varies by the state where you opened the account.
How do I order checks with Erica?
In the app, ask Erica “Order checks,” or “Track check order” for a recent one.
