Answer :

answer:Personal checks are one of those specialty items that has limited application today. I would imagine there is little incentive for banks to contract with printing companies to provide these to customers for free. The banks likely want you to continue to expand your online activity. We actually ordered a box of checks a few years ago when we moved because we found that contractors were unlikely to accept personal checks, and the new school was requesting checks for my kids’ activities. We paid around $15 for the checks (if I’m not mistaken) back in 2009.
