Bill Paying - how to determine which banks support it directly

Ps56k2

I have been using Quicken Deluxe - and discovered awhile ago that I could use my Chase bank acct for Quicken bill payments directly using the Chase online bill payment feature.

I was wondering, since Quicken can tell which "Direct Connect" accounts support this arrangement - HOW does it determine that ?   Is there something in the FIDIR.TXT that indicates this support ?

Hmmm.... wonder if it is the "Payment" text - or is that for Loans / Mortgages -

10898    10898    10898    Chase    https://www.chase.com/    1-877-242-7372    https://secure01c.chase.com    ACTIVE

The PAYMENT in the FIDIR.TXT indicates the financial institution supports Online Payment.

But just because it shows as supported in FIDIR.TXT doesn't mean you can actually use it.

For example, Bank of America-All Other States supports PAYMENT, but new customers can't get it.
