Checks might seem like a relic from the past in this era of online and mobile transactions, but they’re still alive and well. Some people have no choice — renters, for example, are often required to pay by check.

Whether check writing is a necessity or a simple preference, you will eventually run out of checks if you use enough of them. It’s easy to get checks from your bank. If you’re a TD Bank customer, refilling your checkbook before that happens can save you from having to make a last-minute trip to purchase a money order to cover an upcoming bill.

How To Order Checks Through TD Bank

TD Bank offers several ways for you to order checks. Choose the method that works best for you and follow the steps below:

Online

The most convenient way for most customers to order checks is online, via the TD Bank website.

1. Go to the TD Bank website and log in to online banking.
2. Select “Account Options,” then “Account Services,” then “Order Checks.”
3. Follow the prompts to complete your order.

Have your TD Bank routing number and account number handy. These can be found on the bottom of your current checks or preprinted deposit slips.

Phone

If you want to order checks over the phone, you can contact TD Bank’s check provider, Harland Clarke, directly at 800-355-8123. Before calling, ensure you have your routing and account numbers ready. Be prepared to specify the check style, quantity and any additional features you would like.

In-Person

For customers that prefer face-to-face assistance, you can visit any TD Bank branch to order checks. A bank representative will guide you through the process and ensure your order is placed correctly.

Cost of Ordering Checks With TD Bank

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 TD Bank or an alternative source. Once you complete your order, the cost will be automatically debited from your TD account.

Good To Know

Some TD Bank checking accounts offer free cashier’s checks. Review the terms of these accounts carefully — other charges, such as monthly maintenance fees, will offset any savings you stand to gain by getting your checks for free.

If you want to open an account with TD, here are the details on a few TD Bank accounts and what they offer:

TD Beyond Checking

The TD Beyond Checking account comes with free official checks and money orders. However, you’ll pay a $25 monthly maintenance fee on this checking account unless you maintain a $2,500 minimum daily balance, receive $5,000 in direct deposits each statement cycle or maintain a $25,000 minimum balance across all TD Bank accounts.

TD Complete Checking

TD Complete Checking offers cashier checks for $8.00. This account has a $15 monthly maintenance fee, but you can get the fee waived by maintaining a $500 minimum daily balance, or receive $500 or more in direct deposits.

TD Essentials Checking

TD Essentials Checking customers get official checks for $8.00, but personal checks are not offered for this type of account. Customers over age 17 pay a $4.95 monthly service fee.

Alternatives To Ordering Checks From TD Bank

Alternative check suppliers might save you money or give you a more comprehensive selection of check styles and designs to choose from. Here are some alternative sources for ordering checks.

Costco

Costco uses the same check provider as TD Bank: Harland Clarke. Being a Costco member can carry some perks, like discounted costs on services, including ordering checks. Look into the details of your membership to find out if your tier qualifies for a discount.

Harland Clarke sells checks in packs of 200. For 2 packs of single green safety checks, or 400 checks, Harland Clarke currently lists a price of $29.60. For 4 packs, or 400 checks, expect to pay $38.40.

Walmart

A two-pack of Walmart blue secure checks — 120 checks per pack — is only $23.49. You’ll pay $35.24 for three packs, which contain 360 checks. A four-pack with 480 checks is $46.98.

Vistaprint

Vistaprint is the only supplier listed here that lets you purchase small quantities — 25 checks for $4. You’ll pay $15 for 150 checks, $24 for 300 checks, $34 for 450 checks or $38 for 600 checks.

What You Should Know

To keep your accounts safe, special check-ordering rules apply to certain circumstances.

If you’re an online banking customer and you’ve changed the mailing address on your checking account within the last three business days, you can order checks right away at a TD Bank branch. However, you’ll need to wait three additional days to order online.

Customers placing an order for the first time and who’ve not yet enrolled in online banking must place their order by phone or at a TD Bank branch.
