About This Template
Free PenFed (Pentagon Federal Credit Union) check template: enter PenFed's published routing number (256078446 — the same number for all members nationwide) and your account number to create printable checks. As with any routing number, verify it against one of your existing PenFed checks or PenFed online banking before printing — an incorrect routing number causes a bounced check. Download as a high-resolution PDF and print on blank check stock. Also useful for generating a voided check for direct deposit setup. No signup required. Not affiliated with Pentagon Federal Credit Union.
When to Use This Template
Use this template when you need to print checks for your PenFed Access America Checking or Free Checking account, or to generate a voided check for direct deposit while you wait on a mailed order — PenFed's first set of 40 checks typically takes 7 to 10 business days to arrive after ordering online, by phone, or at a branch.
Who This Template Is For
PenFed members who want to print their own checks without waiting on a mailed order. PenFed membership is open to anyone who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident (a $5 minimum deposit is required to join), though the credit union was originally chartered for military members, veterans, and Department of Defense employees and their families — many of whom still make up its core membership.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this template affiliated with PenFed Credit Union?
No, this is an independent check template. It's a standard check format that works with your PenFed account when you enter your correct routing and account numbers. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Pentagon Federal Credit Union.
What is PenFed's routing number?

Can I use this for a voided check for direct deposit?
Yes. Enter your own PenFed routing and account numbers (confirmed against an existing check or online banking, not just the example pre-filled here), leave payee and amount blank, download the PDF, and write VOID across the front — a common way to set up direct deposit without waiting for a mailed checkbook.
