Is Your Check Taking the Scenic Route? Why Electronic Payments Are Faster, More Secure, and More Convenient

July 6, 2026

At Dennisville Fence, we recently received a customer payment in the mail that was quite a surprise.  The envelope arrived on July 6, 2026, but the check inside was dated March 19, 2026—more than three months earlier.

Fortunately, the check was still valid and could be deposited.  However, it serves as a great reminder that traditional mail isn’t always as reliable or timely as we’d like.

Whether a payment is delayed by the postal system, misplaced along the way, or simply sits on a desk before being mailed, paper checks can create unnecessary delays for both customers and businesses.

The Challenges with Mailing Checks

While mailing a check has been a trusted payment method for decades, it does have its drawbacks:

  • Mail delivery can be delayed.
  • Checks can be lost or misplaced.
  • Payments may take several days to arrive.
  • There is no immediate confirmation that your payment has been received.
  • A delayed payment can create unnecessary concern for both you and our office.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your payment made it to us, you’re not alone.

A Faster, Easier Way to Pay

To make paying your invoice as simple as possible, Dennisville Fence offers secure electronic payment options.

When your invoice is ready, you can use the payment link included with your invoice to make a payment anytime—day or night—from your computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Our secure online payment portal provides immediate confirmation that your payment has been submitted, helping eliminate the uncertainty that can come with mailing a paper check.

Want to Save on Processing Fees?

Many customers appreciate the convenience of paying with a credit or debit card.  However, if you’d like to avoid card processing fees, our secure payment portal also allows you to pay directly from your bank account using your banking information.

This option provides the same convenience of paying online while helping you save on service fees that are typically associated with card transactions.

It’s fast, secure, and often the most economical way to pay.

Security You Can Trust

Our secure payment portal uses industry-standard encryption to help protect your financial information.  Your banking details are transmitted securely, giving you peace of mind while making your payment.

We’re Here to Help

Our goal has always been to make every part of your experience with Dennisville Fence as easy and convenient as possible—from your initial estimate through the final payment.

If you ever have questions about your invoice or need assistance using our secure payment portal, our office staff is happy to help.

Thank you for choosing Dennisville Fence.  We appreciate your business and are continually looking for ways to make doing business with us even easier.
