Sometimes you can’t avoid writing checks, even if you’d rather pay another way. Whether you’re paying rent or for a home repair, cash and credit aren’t always acceptable forms of payment. That’s why it’s a good idea to keep an ample supply of checks on hand. Ordering checks before you run out is the best way to ensure you always have checks available. Read on to find out how you can order checks from PNC Bank.
How To Order Checks From PNC Bank
The easiest way to order checks through PNC Bank is online or through the mobile app. Here are the steps you can follow:
- Log in to your PNC account online or open the PNC mobile banking app.
- Select the “Help” tab.
- Under “Manage Accounts,” select “Order Checks and Supplies.”
- You’ll be directed to Harland Clarke, where you can place your check order.
If you’re ordering online, be sure to have your routing number and account number on hand before you start. You can find these numbers on your checks and they’re also located on your bank statements.
Alternative Methods
If you prefer not to order online, you can order PNC checks in a few other ways:
- Visit a branch: Stop by your local branch and place an order in person.
- Call customer service: Contact PNC Bank customer service at 888-762-2265. Be prepared to provide your account details along with your preferred check details.
Automatic Check Reorder
Rather than placing an order manually every time you need more checks, you can sign up for Automatic Check Reorder.
PNC tracks your average check usage, and about 3 months before your current supply is projected to end, PNC will automatically send you a new batch and debit the cost from your account.
You’ll see the automatic reorder activation option after you follow the steps above.
Cost of PNC Bank Checks
The cost of ordering checks depends on the style you choose and whether you add optional services like expedited shipping to your order. Prices also vary according to whether you purchase your checks through PNC Bank or an alternative supplier.
