I want to order some bank checks that I see online, but with the scare of identity theft, I wonder if it is safe to order checks this way. I would hate to have some hacker get my checking account number and spend all my money. Have any of you ever ordered bank checks online, and what were your experiences? Positive? Negative?

Hey Nan,

Whenever I need cheques, I just go online to my bank's website to order them - no problem! If you are ordering them through your bank, you should have no troubles at all. It's a misconception that most identity theft is done through people hacking websites, mostly it comes from stolen mail - HOWEVER be sure that you know the site is legitimate and make sure it uses a secure server when sending personal information.

Mua! Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

From my banks web site

No negitive experience with that thus far

Cool. So it looks like ordering from my bank's website is the way to go. I was looking at checks on bradfordexchange.com and some others, but was not sure if they were safe or not.

I do all the time..never had a problem.

Yes, only to the bank you are affilated with online. Its a lot safer.

I did order checks today, but by phone, since it was not thru my bank, and I did not feel safe posting my information (even though the website claimed to be "safe"). I felt much safer doing it this way, and the checks should arrive in about 9 days.

I've done Checks In the Mail for years, never a problem...

Funny you should say that, because Checks in the Mail is the company that I ordered my checks from. Glad to hear you haven't experienced any problems.
