Making an online payment

TioMarcos

I wanted to pay a bill. I put all my information in and clicked confirm. After that it just went back to the screen I was looking at. I'm not sure if my bill is payed or not. I confirmed but didn't get a confirmation. I'm not sure if I should go to the credit card website and pay it there or if this payment has gone through. The bill is due in 2 days and I don't want to get a late fee. Can anybody give me any guidance?

1) what connection method are you using? 
2) if in doubt, pay at the credit card site.

I'm using Express Web Connect

If your bank recently required you to reauthorize your account and/or your bank has changed from "Direct Connect" to either "Express Web Connect" or "Express Web Connect+" you can no longer use Online Bill Pay direct to the bank or Quicken Bill Manager's Quick Pay function. The banks no longer support this function through Quicken.

Alternatives:

1. Use Quicken Bill Manager's Check Pay
2. Logon to the bank's website and make your bill pay payments from the bank. In parallel to that, in Quicken use a regular Scheduled Reminder to record your payment.
3. Logon to the biller's website and set up their Autopay, APS, Direct debit, etc. to make the current payment and/or all future payments on Due Date directly from your checking account. In parallel to that, in Quicken use a regular Scheduled Reminder to record your payment.
4. Write (or print with Quicken) a paper check and mail it to the biller, making sure to mail payment early enough (around 10 days before due date) to allow time for delivery and processing.

I've been using a variation of method #3 for decades, since before the Internet and dial-up were even invented. It's easy to get used to this process. And I have yet to miss a single payment.
