Buying Quicken preprinted checks
There seems to be a lot of vendors out there, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations.
Last time I bought checks my bank was First National Bank of Chicago, then it became Bank One, then maybe something else, then Chase bank. The routing and account numbers are the same, but I always worry that someone's going to notice there is no longer a First National Bank around any more.l

You can buy from any respectable vendor that offers "Quicken and Quickbooks - compatible" checks.
Quicken US version only:
For a review of Quicken - compatible check styles and perhaps to order new supplies, please see https://intuitmarket.intuit.com/checks (the website talks about checks for use with QuickBooks but the same style checks also work with Quicken) or order from any check printing company that offers Quicken or Quickbooks - compatible checksQuicken Canada Cheque Reordering
https://intuit.ecommerce.dh.com/en/?CN=001&CB=aaa&LANGUAGE=E&ACTION=chequeorderThe last time my local Credit Union went thru a merger or a name change I had just started using a new box of 500 preprinted checks. Just as in your case, routing and account numbers remained the same.Being a cheapskate and all that, I captured an image of the new bank name and logo from their website, created a Word doc with the image positioned properly and preprinted a small number of my checks, putting the image next to the preprinted bank name. There was room enough on my voucher checks to do so.And so far, knocking on wood, nobody has complained about these modified checks. What's important for a check to be processed correctly is the MICR code line ... and that's OK.My 2cents' worth:
I use Voucher checks (1 business size check + 2 stubs on an 8.5x11 sheet). My printers do not have a manual feed tray or 2nd paper tray that can easily be reconfigured to feed partial pages (1 or 2 checks left from a 3-checks-per-page sheet), so for my occasional check printing needs voucher checks are easiest to use.
When considering your own check stock to use, consider how easy or difficult it is to feed special forms or odd-size partial pages into your printer when making a purchase decision for a new supply of checks.

Hello @vernea,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community with your question.
Though Quicken doesn't sell checks, we recommend buying from Intuit.
Thank you,
