Quicken and Quicken Bill Manager

dalewhubbard

I am confused... I currently use Quicken to send the information regarding the bill to be paid to my bank. My bank then cuts the check and sends the check on to whom ever the payment was intended for. With this new Quicken Bill Manager do I need to sign up for this new service? If so, will I still be able to use my current bank for paying my bills and sending the checks? I know Quicken also offers this bill payment service but I would like to keep paying my bills as I do now. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The bill paying service where you pay through your financial institution isn't changing.
You can continue to use it.

What is changing is for the people that didn't have a financial institution that supported bill pay through Quicken and were using "Quicken Bill Pay" instead, that service is going away, and they are suggesting "Quicken Bill Manager" as a replacement.

HOw do you know if your bank supports the "the bill paying service where you pay through your financial institution"? Where do you access this in Quicken. I currently use Bill Pay and Bill Manager but would like know if I can go thru my bank. Thanks!!!!

My credit union says they will not go to Direct Connect because Quicken sells information on its members to third parties. Is this true?
