Updating to Quicken Bill Manager

Question

As I try to set up the new Bill Manager, it demands that I identify a payee for Quick Pay before I even am able to identify my bank to pay from. I don't want to automatically pay anything. I have used Quicken Bill Pay for years and I enter the bills I want to pay, then confirm to make the payment. What am I missing or doing wrong?

Hello @sun guy

Yes, the online biller would be the payee.

You can try looking for a utility company that you pay by following the steps above.

Just one will need to be added to begin verifying the account.

You may also try something like Netflix or Hulu if you use any such services just to get the account verification process going.

Let me know if you need further clarification!

Maybe this is a semantics problem. I am the payer and companies I pay are payees. Is “online biller” the same as “payee”?

Hello @sun guy

The online bill will need to be available as an online biller and have login credentials to be able to connect the bill to the Quicken program.

To look for an online biller please see the steps below:First, click the + (plus sign) in the upper-right corner of the Bills & Income screen and select Online Bill.

Search for the name of the biller you wish to add.

I hope this helps!
