Different Withdrawal and Posting Dates on Accounts (Not investment accounts)

Nemo

Quicken Classic for Windows / Windows 11 home

I request a check withdrawal from a savings account. When I update Quicken the check has the date they processed my request (e.g. 09/10/2025). Then I receive the check and deposit it in a checking account with a different institution on 09/20/2025. When I update Quicken, it uses 09/10/25 as the withdrawal AND deposit date for both accounts. In the past when I deposited the check Quicken would ask "Is this the same check as (savings account)?" and then, when I answered "Yes", use two different dates, the process date for the savings account (09/10/25) and the deposit date for checking account (09/20/25).

Now it does not ask if the transactions are for the same check; it uses one date only.

Thanks for your help.

Looks to me like that's because the transaction in Quicken is recorded as a single linked transfer transaction from ABC Bank Savings to Category = "[DEF Bank Checking]" and not two separate, unlinked transactions.

May I ask why you're asking for a paper check to be mailed to you instead of initiating a direct electronic transfer of funds from the Savings account's website? This, when processed as ACH transfer thru the US banking system, normally takes no longer than 1 - 3 business days.
