I recently switched to two mortgage payments per month and can't figure out how to make the change in Quicken (subscription service).
It would seem that, given that Quicken loans has a biweekly payment option they would support more than just monthly payments.

    Biweekly is not twice monthly and Quicken Loans is an entirely different company.

    To set up a twice monthly loan payment reminder, select Twice per month in the Payment schedule: pull-down menu in the Loan Details window.

    My Loan Details screen has fewer choices and the only options are reminder vs. memorized payee.

    If the terms of the loan changed, open the account and select Edit Terms... on the Loan Detail view.

    Hello @DebRun

    Thank you for reaching out on the community and telling us about your issue. I do apologize for the issue you're having. If we could get a couple of more details it may help. I believe you have the loan set up manually but to be sure if you're able to confirm. If it's a downloaded loan we're not able to add transactions manually but we'll need more information to see what exactly we can do.

     Once you get  a chance let us know more and we'll take a deeper look!

    Thanks,

    Quicken Francisco

    Why can't you set "Twice per month" as the payment schedule?
