About This Template
Free Ally Bank check template: enter your Ally Bank routing number (124003116 shown here as an illustrative example — Ally publishes a single routing number for all accounts nationwide, but confirm yours on your own check or in online banking) and account number to create printable checks. Download as PDF, print on blank check stock. No signup required. Not affiliated with Ally Bank. Note: as an online-only bank, Ally does not issue physical checkbooks by default, making this template especially useful for Ally customers who occasionally need to write a check.
When to Use This Template
Ally Bank customers use this template whenever they need a physical check — Ally is an online bank so many customers don't have checkbooks at all. Common uses include rent payments to landlords who require checks, one-time contractor payments, setting up direct deposit with a voided check, and any situation where an electronic payment isn't accepted.
Who This Template Is For
Ally Bank Spending Account holders across the US who need to write a physical check. Since Ally doesn't have branches and doesn't automatically issue checkbooks, this template fills the gap for the many Ally customers who occasionally need checks. Particularly useful for recent Ally converts from traditional banks who no longer have checkbooks.
Ally Check Layout and Security Features
Ally checks use the same MICR line, microprinting, and background security screen standard on most U.S. check stock — Ally hasn't published which specific printer handles fulfillment, but the mechanics don't differ from any other bank's checks regardless of vendor. Ally began as GMAC Bank, the financing arm of General Motors, before rebranding to Ally Bank in 2009 and becoming a fully independent, branchless online bank.

Ordering Checks from Ally
Standard checks are free with the Ally Spending Account — one of the few U.S. banks that doesn't charge for reorders — ordered through the Ally website or mobile app, typically arriving in about 7-10 business days. Because Ally has no branches, there's no in-person counter-check option; this template is the practical stopgap while a mailed order is in transit.
Personal Banking Only
The Ally Spending Account has no monthly fee, no minimum balance, and pays interest — 0.10% APY under a $15,000 balance, 0.25% APY at or above it. Ally doesn't offer a business checking account at all; its product lineup is entirely personal (checking, savings, CDs, auto loans, and investing), so businesses looking for an Ally-style online-only experience need to bank elsewhere.

How to Use This Template
- 1
Note Your Ally Bank Routing Number
Ally publishes one routing number for all accounts nationwide, shown on this page as 124003116 — still worth confirming in Ally online banking, since it's the only way to check it without a paper statement.
- 2
Click "Use This Template"
Opens the check editor pre-loaded with Ally's routing number — especially useful since Ally doesn't automatically mail checkbooks.
- 3
Enter the Payee, Amount, and Your Ally Account Number
Once you enter the dollar figure, the written amount fills in on its own beside it.
- 4
Download the Print-Ready PDF
Generates a high-resolution PDF with a correctly formatted MICR line, ready to use immediately rather than waiting on Ally's free mailed checks.

Print It, or Use It as a Voided Check
Print on blank check stock for a payable check, or write VOID across a printed copy — one of the most common uses for Ally customers setting up direct deposit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this template affiliated with Ally Bank?
No. CheckWriter is an independent tool not affiliated with Ally Financial Inc. or Ally Bank. This template produces standard-format checks that work with your Ally account when you enter your correct routing and account numbers.
What is Ally Bank's routing number?
124003116 is Ally Bank's published routing number, shown here as an example. Ally states it uses a single number for all accounts nationwide since it has no state-specific branches — but confirm it in Ally online banking under Account Details before printing anything you intend to deposit or send.
Does Ally Bank give you checks?
Ally Bank does not automatically issue checkbooks. Some customers request checks through Ally, but they can take time to arrive. This template is the fastest way to print a check from your Ally account — especially useful for urgent rent payments or voided checks for direct deposit.
Can I print a voided check for direct deposit with Ally?
Yes. This is one of the most common uses for Ally customers. Enter your own Ally routing and account numbers (confirmed in Ally online banking, not just the example pre-filled here), leave payee and amount blank, download the PDF, print, and write VOID. Many Ally customers use this to set up direct deposit with a new employer.
What paper should I use?
For checks to be processed by a bank, use blank check stock paper. For voided checks used only to show your routing and account number for direct deposit setup, plain printer paper works fine.
How do I order official checks directly from Ally?
Order through the Ally website or the Ally Mobile app — standard checks are free, one of the few things Ally doesn't charge for, and typically arrive in about 7-10 business days. Custom check designs can be ordered by phone for an extra cost.
Does Ally Bank offer business checking?
No. Ally is built around personal banking — checking, savings, CDs, investing, and auto loans — and doesn't offer a business checking account or any business-specific bank accounts. If you need commercial banking, you'll need an account elsewhere.
