More Secure Than a Typical Check

The biggest difference between a cashier’s check and a regular check is that a cashier’s check is guaranteed by the financial institution, not the writer of the check. That makes them more secure for large transactions.

How to Order a Cashier’s Check

 It’s easy and convenient to order a cashier’s check from home. Use digital banking* to place an order and choose to have the check delivered to your home or available for pickup at your local branch.

Through the Mobile App* or Online Banking

  1. Sign in to your account.
  2. Select Move Money from the navigation menu.
  3. Scroll to the bottom and select Request a Cashier’s Check.
  4. Request a new Cashier’s Check or use a recent check as a template and select Continue.
  5. Complete the required fields and choose your delivery method.

You can also order checks by mail or by calling 1-888-842-6328.

Cashier’s checks may be sent to the address on your account or routed to any Navy Federal branch in the U.S. or overseas for pickup. If you choose to have the cashier’s check mailed, it will be sent to the address on your account. Delivery time will vary based on the shipping method chosen. Deliveries via regular mail normally arrive within 5–7 business days. Expedited shipping options, including overnight delivery, are available for an additional fee.

Orders made online or with a mobile device are subject to a maximum of $2,500 if the check is being sent by mail. Requests greater than $2,500 can be submitted via mail, mobile or online, with branch pickup as the delivery method.

Third Parties

You may request checks payable to yourself, yourself and another payee or to a third party. Checks made payable to a third party are available for branch pickup only.

Pickup

If you choose to pick it up at your local branch, follow the directions for branch pickup. Checks not picked up within 4 calendar days will be canceled and the funds returned to your account.
