When to Use This Template
Citibank customers use this template to print checks for rent payments, bill payments, contractor fees, and any transaction requiring a physical check. It's also commonly used to generate a voided check for direct deposit setup — enter your routing and account numbers, download the PDF, write VOID across the front, and submit to your employer or HR department.
Who This Template Is For
This template is for Citibank customers who want to print their own checks instead of ordering from the bank. Works with any Citibank personal or business checking account across all US states.
Citibank Check Layout and Security Features
Citibank checks are fulfilled through Deluxe, which also prints for several other large banks, so the paper, microprinting, and security screen follow the same industry-standard specification rather than a Citibank-specific design. Citibank operates a notably smaller U.S. branch footprint than most other large national banks — roughly 650 branches nationwide, concentrated in a handful of major metro areas rather than spread evenly by state — which is worth knowing if you're counting on walking into a branch for a same-day counter check.

Finding Your Citibank Routing Number
021000089 is Citibank's most commonly cited routing number, generally associated with the New York metro area where Citibank is headquartered, but Citibank assigns different routing numbers by the state where an account was opened.
Confirm your specific number on the bottom-left of an existing Citibank check, in Citibank online banking under account details, or by calling Citibank directly — particularly important given Citibank's branch footprint is smaller than most, making it more likely your account was opened in a different state than the one you live in now.
Ordering Checks from Citibank
Deluxe handles the actual printing and mailing for Citibank — when you reorder checks through Citibank's own website, the request lands on a Deluxe-operated ordering page rather than anything Citibank runs in-house. You can also call Citibank's automated ordering line at (800) 374-9700 to request a checkbook by phone.
Citibank doesn't publish a flat price list; cost and delivery time depend on the check design and quantity you select and are shown before you complete the order. If cost matters more than an exact Citibank-branded design, comparing a third-party check printer against Citibank's own pricing before ordering is worth doing.
Business vs. Personal Citibank Checks
Citibank's personal checking lineup starts with Access Checking (around $5/month, checkless by design) and the Basic Banking Package (around $12/month, waived with an enhanced direct deposit and a bill payment), then moves into relationship tiers — Citi Priority (around $30/month, waived at $30,000 in linked balances) and Citigold (no fee at $200,000 in combined balances). Basic Banking and the relationship tiers support standard personal check printing; Access Checking doesn't.
On the business side, Citibank offers CitiBusiness accounts, including Streamlined Checking and Flexible Checking, aimed at different transaction volumes.

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 — useful given Citibank's roughly 650-branch footprint makes a same-day counter check harder to find than at Chase or BofA.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this template affiliated with Citibank?
No, this is an independent check template. It's a standard check format that works with your Citibank account when you enter your correct routing and account numbers.
What is Citibank's routing number?
021000089 is a commonly published Citibank routing number, shown here as an example. Your actual number can differ by state, so always confirm your specific number on your Citibank statement, in Citi online banking, or by calling Citibank directly before printing anything you intend to deposit or send.
Can I use this template for a voided check for direct deposit?
Yes. Enter your Citibank routing number and account number, leave payee and amount blank, download the PDF, print, and write VOID across the front. Submit to your employer or HR to set up direct deposit to your Citibank account.
Can I write a paper check with Citibank Access Checking?
No. Access Checking is a checkless account by design — around $5/month, waived with $250 or more in monthly direct deposits. If you need to write personal checks, Citibank's Basic Banking Package or a higher relationship tier (Citi Priority, Citigold) are the accounts that support it.
How do I order official checks directly from Citibank?
Citibank checks are printed and fulfilled by Deluxe — Citibank's own site routes you to Deluxe's ordering portal for reorders, or you can call Citibank at (800) 374-9700. Pricing and delivery time depend on the design and quantity you choose and are shown before you complete the order.
What if I need a Citibank check today and can't reach a branch?
With only around 650 U.S. branches concentrated in major metro areas, Citibank is less likely than Chase or BofA to have a nearby branch for a same-day counter check. Printing a check with this template — on blank check stock for a payable check, or plain paper marked VOID for direct deposit setup — is often the faster option while a mailed Deluxe order is in transit.
