Stopping Checks

Last updated: July 1, 2026

At Denim, we believe every company has the right to a secure and electronic payment, and this is why we make setting up ACHs easy. (Please see Contractors: Setup Payment Methods for detailed steps.)

We understand that some carriers ask for checks, and we are happy to issue them in those cases. If a check does not reach its destination and the contractor requests a check to be re-issued, there is a $25 bank charge associated with this. Denim does not make money off of these fees.

When check needs to be reissued

When a check needs to be reissued, please follow these steps:

  1. Work with your carrier to set up ACH payments for them, by notifying them of the fees associated with stopping checks.
  2. Since it takes time to deliver checks, we recommend not stopping them until one month has elapsed since the check issue date.
  3. If one month has elapsed and a check has still not been cashed, send an email for stop payment to support@denim.com. In the email, please mention whether you or your contractor's company will pay for the $25 stop fee.
  4. Submit a contractor payment change request to update your carrier's payment method.
  5. Once the check is stopped, Denim reissues the payment via ACH if the contractor has since been set up.
