  1. Great post!!Thanks for sharing it with us....really needed. Banks and credit Unions would love to be the only avenues from which you order your checks. Now, thanks to the online world, check ordering is much easier and less expensive. Most of the time when you order checks the banks merely order the checks for you thru other check printing companies. currently you may be ready to order bank checks yourself directly online...Check Ordering
