Personal checks

[Jnbmom]

Aside from my navy and penfed banking accounts I also have an account with a local CU. I never got checks when I opened the account because I just pay most things online or with my debit card.

I have a our local personal property tax that I need to pay (well actually a few bills lol ) anyhow I was going to pay online but you have to put each bill separately and of course they charge a fee per transaction,  umm no. So anyhow I thought I guess I will order some checks, good grief it was 22.00 for the most simple check style and 15.00 for processing and shipping 😠are you kidding me.

So I thought about ordering online from someone other than my bank, just curious if anyone else does this? I mean I assume they would be honored by my bank correct? Or I could transfer and use navy account as I have free checks from them and just avoid the hassle. 

Just wondering if anyone of you use these online check sites?

Thanks

I don’t know about you but with the absolutely massive amount of damage that can be done with your checking account, I would just get the free checks from Navy Federal’s supplier rather than sending my info somewhere else online. I have always paid the steep prices of my bank’s preferred check supplier rather than go to a cheaper place because I didn’t want to give my checking account info to another business. It’s easy to transfer money between accounts these days, I personally wouldn’t take the extra risk.

My local bank is Chase and you can go into any branch and they'll print a few "courtesy checks" at no cost. Did you ask your local CU if they offer a similar feature?

Stupid question - why not use the bill pay functionality within your bank? NFCU should be able to print/mail a check with an account number, etc directly to the local county in question, and it'll be faster than ordering checks, *AND* should be free. Unless I missed something?

Thanks, I think I might just transfer to navy and dig up my checks since I have yet to use them lol

Yes, I've done that at Chase and my local credit Union. Just don't try it at Wells Fargo, I stopped by a branch and asked at the greeter rep, thinking perhaps I needed a manager to do that. She jerked her head at the teller line and said "Get in line", and then they charged me $5 for 3 checks.

We have a company account there just to maintain relationships with them.
 
They were the hardest to setup, generated the *MOST* errors in sign up (like the bank officer literally did it wrong multiple times) requiring re-work and re-doing paperwork, and caused the biggest headache. 
 
Chase, OTOH, isn't even local to us, and they were the easiest to work with, once we went in to the actual branch.  And we opened like 10 accounts at once.  Took a while, but they were all 100% correct.
