I use Wells Fargo checking and I cannot see the check input box anymore to write a check.
If you switched from Direct Connect to Express Web Connect + you can no longer use bill pay through Wells Fargo, using Quicken. That is a Direct Connect only feature.
My account is with Wells Fargo. Do you know how I can change it to Direct Connect. I tried doing what they said in Help but it didn't work.
See if this helps:
thanks so much but i tried it and it would not go through. I'll call the Bank on Monday and see what they say. If i get a fix, I'll post it.
@Dismyth99 You might have better luck with Quicken support trying to help you get it fixed.

OK I'll try them tomorrow.
What a pain this is
Hi , right now there is no way to use direct connect with Wells Fargo. The Bank is working a solution but if you call support they just run you through the way to do it but it still doesn't work.
Called Q Support and here's a work around solution:
1.
Select a Checking account in the sidebar.
2.
In Quicken, choose Transactions > Write Check.
•
You can also use the keyboard shortcut ⌘J.
You can also get to the check-writing screen at any time while entering (or editing) any transaction from your checking account. Just enter a transaction normally (using the New icon in the sidebar or typing ⌘N) and click on the Checks tab.
You should now see the Check tab
Enter the payee.
3.
Enter the amount of the check.
4.
If you are using window envelopes, enter an address for the payee.
If you have used more than one address for this payee, you can click Other Addresses to select an alternate address.
Select the To be printed checkbox.
When you are finished, you can simply press Enter and move on to your next task.
If you are printing this check from Quicken, you do not need to enter a check number. Quicken enters the check number after the check is printed. If you are recording a check you wrote manually, you can enter the check number.
Oh, very good. For you as a Q Windows user, you posted instructions that only work for Q Mac.
If your bank (the one that runs your checking account) recently required you to reauthorize your checking 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 bank no longer supports this function through Quicken.
IMHO, you have these alternatives (in no particular order of preference):
I've been using method #3 for decades, since before the Internet and transaction download capabilities were even introduced. It's easy to get used to this process. And I have yet to miss a single payment.
