Quicken Windows - Seriously confused after Well Fargo Update
.
Apparently the recent update to Wells Fargo doesn't work for making payments. The system makes a change to "Express Web Direct Connect+" on alternative connection is offered. Wells Fargo advises that only "Direct Connect" will work for make payments via Check Free. Not sure this is true as I started a new Quicken to get rid of past unneeded accounts and this where I discovered the problem
Hello @Mr. Fritz,
To use Quicken to send bill payment instructions to Wells Fargo, you do need the payment account connected using Direct Connect. The reason for this is that Direct Connect is a connection option that has 2 way communication with the financial institution (which allows Quicken to send bill payment instructions to the financial institution), whereas Express Web Connect+ is a one way connection. If you accidentally switched that account to Express Web Connect+, then please follow these instructions to switch the connecting back to Direct Connect:
I hope this helps!
