View Full Version : Ordering personnal checks

The bank(s) seem to charge a very high amount for additional checks, last batch was $40-50 for ~120 checks.
Online these are much less, HOWEVER, in looking at the reviews some of these sites have really bad reputations.
So I am asking fellow villagers if they have used an alternative to bank supplied checks that were a reasonable cost. Please feel free to us PM, if you do not want reply in public.
Thank you,
VT

I used Walmart.com. Had used vistaprint for a club account, paid with a never used debit card, and it was compromised soon thereafter, so, I shy away from vistaprint.

I rarely use my checks BUT I just got news ones from Citizen's State Bank and they were free.

Thank you, I saw VistaPrint had this as a service, and we have used them for our villages cards. Will look into this option. VT

Between online bill pay and debit cards, I can't remember the last time I ordered checks. :024:

I've never ordered checks from a company other than my bank. I've always worried about giving some unknown entity my banking information. Does that worry anyone else?
I use online banking so I write very few checks. I just like to have some on hand!

Thank all of you. I will check with the bank about the cost today, and then make a decision.

Darn, I thought it was because I was special and they liked me.

Everytime you write a check and send it to someone it has your bank acc't number on it. :shrug:

You are so right, good example was the fraud by the hairdresser ? I think recently some how was able to draft on ladies bank account when she wrote check to pay for it. I usually pay by cash no loose ends tied to it as long as you get receipt.

All, I checked at the banks today, both that I normally deal with use Harland Clarke, very expensive. I checked out vista print and they are very reasonable. Thanks for the tip on sam's club, will check them out also.

Bank of America - no chages
What!?! I just paid for checks from Bank of America in November. I was in the bank changing around some accounts and their representative told me that it would be cheaper to purchase the checks through their website. But, I still paid for them.

SAMs club with no problems
I went to the Sam's club website, and found no references to preprinted personal bank checks, all I found were blank checks that you use your our accounting software to print. If you have a link, let us know. Or can this be done at the store?
Thanks, VT

It might be because my accounts are in a trust. I think I remember her saying that.
