How do I pay rent with a check?

2 min read

You can pay with a paper check by taking a photo of the front and back.

Important: We recommend using the Prisma Resident Portal app for check deposits, on a desktop you must take the photos separately and transfer them to your computer first.
Note: Before you begin: have your filled-out check signed and a phone to capture a picture.

Step 1: Open Make Payment #

On the Dashboard (the first page you see after you log in), select Make a Payment. You can also select Make Payment in the menu on the left.

Step 2: Choose Check Deposit #

Under Payment Type, select Check Deposit.

Step 3: Read the photo tips #

A Check Deposit Guidelines window opens. For a good photo:

  • Lay the check on a dark, solid surface (not white).
  • Use good light with no glare.
  • Make sure all four corners of the check are in the photo.
  • Make sure all writing is clear and easy to read.

Select Got It.

Step 4: Add a photo of the front of the check #

Under Front of Check, select Upload Image. Take or choose a clear photo of the front of your check.

Step 5: Sign the back and add a photo of it #

Sign (endorse) the back of the check.

Under Back of Check, select Upload Image. Take or choose a clear photo of the back.

Step 6: Choose the check type #

Under Check Type, choose Personal check (from your own account) or Business check (from a business account).

Step 7: Validate the information is correct #

Under Check Amount, type the exact amount written on the check.

Step 8: Review and finish #

Select Next. Check everything on the next screen, then follow the prompts to finish your payment.

Important: Blurry, cut-off, or hard-to-read photos can cause your payment to fail. Keep your paper check in a safe place until the payment shows Completed in Payment History.
