How to Use Quick Pay / Check Pay

I just want to use Quick Pay to electronically pay an amount (OF MY CHOOSING) to an account that will accept electronic payment from Quicken. I keep getting caught up in the amount of my current monthly bill (none of Quicken's business) and scheduling future payments (I'll decide when to pay when I want to pay, thank you), just like it use to be years ago. Why can't I just enter the information for either Quick Pay or Check Pay on an image of a CHECK and let Quicken decide to electronically pay it or to send a check? So confusing and I've had/made too many mistakes. So now I pay online via my bank's website and then re-enter the transaction in Quicken. Way too many mistakes or forgotten entries doing that! HELP!

    Hi @Dean Mechler,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Quicken community!

    If you haven’t tried this yet, I suggest following the steps below to set up and use Quick Pay and Check Pay.

    To pay with Quick Pay:

    • Open Quicken
    • Click Bills & Income tab.
    • Click “+” then Online Biller
      WinAddOnlineBill_support
    • Search for your biller
    • Enter your login credentials for that biller
    • Wait for the bill to sync
    • Quicken will pull in: Amount due and due date
    • Click the gear icon in the upper right.
    • Select Pay Bills with Bill Manager.
    • Review the Terms of Use and click Agree if you want to proceed.
    • Complete the verification process (including the mobile verification, if prompted), then click Enable Accounts.
    • In the Payment Accounts for Quicken Bill Manager screen, select the account (usually checking) that you want to use to pay bills with and select Enable.
    • Follow the process to enable the account
    • Click Done, return to the Bills & Income tab, and start paying bills with Quick Pay.

    To pay with Check Pay:

    • Click the Bills & Income tab.
    • Click "+" > Manual Biller
      QBMManualPlus_support
    • In the Add Bill Reminder screen, enter or select the name of the payee in the Pay to field and click Next.
    • Select Allow paying with Check Pay.

    Provide the following information in the Edit Payee screen:

    • Payee: The name of the person or biller receiving the payment. This should already be filled in.
    • Account Number: This is the account number of your payee. This field is optional, but it is helpful when making payments to an account.
    • Address: The address where the check will be delivered to the payee.
    • City, State, and Zip: These fields need to be entered correctly to deliver the check to the payee.
    • Verify the address you have given. Review your address and select Done.
    • Click Done on the Add Bill Reminder screen.
    • The new bill will appear on the Biller list with the default action as Check Pay.
