About This Template
Use CheckWriter's free Bank of America check template to print checks directly from your BofA checking account. Enter Bank of America's routing number (026009593 shown here as an illustrative example — confirm yours on your own statement or in BofA online banking, since it can differ by state), add your account number, fill in the payee and amount, and download a print-ready PDF. Works with any Bank of America personal or business checking account.
When to Use This Template
Bank of America customers commonly use this template to print checks for rent, contractor payments, and bill payments. It's also frequently used to generate a voided check image for direct deposit setup — employers and benefits providers often require a voided check showing your BofA routing and account number.
Who This Template Is For
Bank of America personal and business checking account holders who need to print checks on demand without ordering a checkbook. Also used by accountants and small business owners managing BofA accounts who need to issue checks quickly.
Bank of America Check Layout and Security Features
BofA checks are fulfilled by Harland Clarke, which also prints for several other large national banks, so the paper, microprinting, and security screen follow the same industry-standard specification rather than a BofA-specific design. Bank of America is the second-largest U.S. bank by assets, and like other major banks, its checks follow the shared ANSI/ABA MICR standard rather than a proprietary format — which is why a correctly filled-in BofA-format check clears through any bank's sorting equipment.

Finding Your Bank of America Routing Number
026009593 is Bank of America's most commonly cited routing number, but like most large national banks, BofA assigns different numbers depending on the state where an account was opened — the number tied to your account may not match this one. Treat the pre-filled number in this template as a starting point, not a guarantee.
To confirm your specific number, check the bottom-left of an existing BofA check, open the Bank of America mobile app or online banking and look under account details, or call BofA directly. This matters most if you're printing a check you intend to deposit, cash, or hand to someone else — an unverified routing number can cause a payment to bounce or misroute.
Business vs. Personal Bank of America Checks
BofA's personal checking lineup — Advantage SafeBalance Banking (around $4.95/month, $25 minimum to open), Advantage Plus Banking (around $12/month, $100 minimum), and Advantage Relationship Banking (around $25/month, BofA's only interest-bearing checking option) — covers everyday personal use, though SafeBalance is checkless by design and doesn't support paper checks at all. Advantage Plus and Advantage Relationship both support standard personal check printing in the layout described above.
On the business side, Business Advantage Fundamentals Banking (around $16/month, roughly 200 free transactions) and Business Advantage Relationship Banking (around $29.95/month, roughly 500 free transactions and a higher fee-free cash deposit limit) are BofA's two main small-business checking accounts (our layout guide above covers how business check formatting generally differs from personal). Use this template's business layout if you're printing on behalf of a company rather than yourself.
Ordering Checks from Bank of America
Harland Clarke fulfills Bank of America's check orders, whether you start the request from BofA online banking, the mobile app, or by phone. To see actual pricing, you generally have to start the reorder flow with your routing and account numbers entered; BofA doesn't publish a flat rate since it depends on the design and quantity you pick.
Standard shipping is typically free for most accounts and commonly quoted at roughly one to two weeks. Expedited shipping (around 5-7 business days) usually adds a fee in the ballpark of $15-25, and rush delivery (around 1-3 business days) costs more on top of that. These figures move over time, so treat them as a planning estimate rather than a quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this template affiliated with Bank of America?
No. CheckWriter is an independent check printing tool. It produces standard-format checks that work with your Bank of America account when you enter your correct routing and account numbers. CheckWriter is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Bank of America.
What is Bank of America's routing number?
026009593 is a commonly published Bank of America routing number, shown here as an example. Your actual number can differ by state, so always confirm your specific number on your Bank of America statement, in BofA online banking, or by calling Bank of America directly before printing anything you intend to deposit or send.
Can I print a voided check for direct deposit using this template?
Yes. Many Bank of America customers use this template to generate a voided check image for direct deposit setup with an employer or benefits provider. Fill in your routing and account numbers, download the PDF, and write "VOID" across it before submitting.
What paper do I need to print checks?
For checks that will be processed by banks, print on blank check stock paper (also called MICR check paper). This is available at Staples, Office Depot, and Amazon. For display or record-keeping purposes, standard printer paper works fine.
Does the template include the MICR line at the bottom?
Yes. The check includes a MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) line at the bottom showing your routing number, account number, and check number in the standard format used by US banks.
How do I order official checks directly from Bank of America?
BofA checks are printed and fulfilled by Harland Clarke, not by the bank itself — ordering online through BofA online banking routes you to Harland Clarke's ordering system. Standard shipping is typically free and takes roughly one to two weeks; expedited shipping (around 5-7 business days) usually adds a fee, and rush delivery (1-3 business days) costs more still. Exact pricing depends on your check style and is shown before you complete the order.
What's the difference between a Bank of America personal and business check?
The routing number and MICR format are the same across account types. The visible difference is the check itself: Business Advantage checking accounts typically print in a wider format with a detachable stub for recording invoice or purchase-order numbers, which most personal accounts (SafeBalance, Advantage Plus, Advantage Relationship) don't use.
Can Advantage SafeBalance customers use this template?
No — SafeBalance Banking is a checkless account by design, meaning BofA doesn't issue paper checks for it. If you have SafeBalance and need to send a payment that requires a physical check, you'd need a cashier's check from a branch or a different BofA checking product that supports personal checks.
