transactions from my bank are downloading with a different payee than the payee I wrote the check to

Question

What's causing this?  Isn't happening with any other accounts like credit cards and the bank website shows them correctly.

Chris_QPW · Answer

The financial institutions don't scan the payee information, and as such it can't be provided to Quicken.
The "best practices" is to pre-enter checks so they have this information and can be matched to the downloaded transaction when it come in.
