Quicken Bill Pay "Sent" vs. Check Number
Michael Rosen
I'm curious why some bill pay transactions appear as "Sent" vs. a check number in my register.

Hi
@Michael Rosen
Thank you for that additional information, although I apologize that you have not yet received a follow-up response.
Typically "sent" on a bill payment transaction means that the payment has been sent to the biller, but has not yet cleared your bank account. This status is typically shown for electronic (ETF) bill payment transactions.
A check number in the status column can indicate one of two things but is shown when using a physical check to pay the bill.
A manually entered check transaction that is intended to be printed from Quicken and physically mailed.
If you use Quicken Bill Pay, the check number indicates that a check for the payment has been cut and mailed by the Quicken Bill Pay service, but has not yet cleared your account.
I hope this information is helpful, but please let us know if there are any further questions/concerns the Community may assist with.
Thank you,
Sarah
