To chase order checks, you have three main options: Chase.com, a phone call to customer service, or an in-branch visit. Personal checks remain necessary for many rent payments, utility companies, and government offices that do not accept electronic transfers. This guide walks through each ordering method, explains what fees may apply, and covers a cheaper third-party alternative so you can choose the best approach, and covers a cheaper third-party alternative so you can choose the best approach for your needs.
Why Paper Checks Still Matter
Many landlords and small businesses continue to require personal checks. Not all payees accept Zelle, ACH, or credit cards. Having a checkbook available prevents payment delays when a check is the only accepted method. The CFPB recognizes checks as a common consumer payment instrument with specific consumer protections.
Order Checks Online at Chase.com
Log in to your Chase account and select the checking account you want checks for. Look for "Order checks or deposit slips" under account services or the "More" menu. You will be redirected to Chase's check-printing partner, where you choose your style and quantity. Confirm your name, address, and MICR account information before submitting.
Order Checks by Phone
Call the number on the back of your Chase debit card and ask the representative to place a check order. They will verify your identity and confirm your mailing address before processing the request. This option is convenient if you prefer not to navigate an online portal. Processing and shipping timelines are typically the same as ordering online.
Order Checks at a Chase Branch
Visit any Chase branch with a valid government-issued ID. A teller or personal banker can submit the order on your behalf. In-branch ordering does not speed up delivery — checks are still printed and shipped by an external vendor. Bring your existing checkbook if you have one, as the account number makes verification faster.
Fees and Account Benefits
Chase does not publish a fixed check price publicly, as costs may vary by account type and check style. Some Chase checking accounts — such as Chase Premier Plus Checking — may include free or discounted check orders as an account feature.
Third-Party Check Printers: A Lower-Cost Option
Independent printers such as Checks in the Mail and Vistaprint typically offer personal checks at a lower price than bank-ordered checks. You will need your routing number and account number — both are printed at the bottom of any existing check or visible in your Chase online account. The CFPB recommends reviewing any third-party financial service before sharing account details.
Delivery Timeframes
Standard shipping typically takes 7–10 business days from the order date. Expedited options may be available for an additional fee, depending on the vendor. Plan ahead if you have a specific payment deadline. You will receive a confirmation email with tracking details from Chase's printing partner after your order is placed.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The most common reason orders go missing is an incorrect mailing address — double-check it before submitting. Confirm your name appears exactly as you want it printed. If you recently moved or changed your name, update your account information with Chase first. Ordering at least one week before you need checks gives adequate buffer for delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order checks from Chase right after opening my account?
Yes, you can typically order checks as soon as your Chase checking account is active. If your account was just opened, confirm eligibility with Chase customer service in case a brief verification period applies.
What information appears on a Chase personal check?
Your checks will include your name, mailing address, bank name, routing number, and account number. The check number appears in the upper right corner and as part of the MICR line at the bottom.
How do I find my Chase routing number without an existing check?
Log in to Chase.com, select your checking account, and view the account details — your routing number is listed there. Chase also publishes routing numbers by state on its public website.
Are third-party checks accepted at banks and businesses?
Generally yes, provided the check includes a valid MICR line — much like a void check — with correct routing and account numbers and meets standard check specifications used in the U.S. banking system.
How do I reorder checks when I run out?
Use the routing and account numbers from the bottom of any existing check to reorder through Chase.com, by phone, in a branch, or directly through a third-party printer.
