You can, but it’s not advisable unless we specifically instruct you to do so.

First, it doesn’t necessarily save transit time to do so. We work in a managed office building where the front desk sorts the mail for all of the business tenants here. That adds a one-day delay to all mail we receive here.

Second, from a security standpoint, it means your payment will first pass through the hands of our landlord’s staff. While we believe them to be trustworthy people, they are not employees of our company, and if a mistake happens it’s not possible for us to hold anyone accountable.

Third, from a security and accuracy perspective, it is better payments go to the Phoenix P.O. Box. That P.O. Box is retrieved daily by a bonded armored car service employed by the bank. Checks are taken straight to the bank where they are scanned in by machines immediately upon arrival. Checks that come to us locally aren’t as secure and are entered by hand, thus being more prone to error.

There may be circumstances where it is more advantageous for your check to come to our office, and we certainly won’t refuse any such payments, but it is wiser to send your payment to the Phoenix P.O. Box unless otherwise instructed. If mailing time is a concern you can make true electronic payments using the Resident Center. There is no fee to process a payment if the payment method is the routing and account number from a bank account. You can log into your account or request one if you don’t have one by clicking here.
