It keeps my vendors in a list, so it will be easy to pay the same vendor next month. I tried it for the first time today, and it’s easy enough to use. What will I do without Quicken Bill Pay? My local bank has an online bill payment system. In a typical month I would have spent that much on postage, envelopes and printed checks if I did it manually. Payments to large organizations – like the electric company – show up in the electronic funds transfer list in the same statement.įor this, Quicken has charged me about $10 each month for 27 years. Most of my payments resulted in physical checks being printed and mailed to my vendors, and each month these show up on my bank statement as photocopies of the actual checks. When I request a bill to be paid, they will either print and mail a check or make an electronic funds transfer to the vendor (their decision). They have a physical location in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I will still be able to use Quicken for that, but not for paying my bills. At the end of the year I produce a report of the entire year, categorized, and give it to my accountant for his tax preparation work. At the end of every quarter I make a report of business income, categorized, and I use that to file and pay my sales taxes. There are a few critical things I use Quicken for: ledgers of my bank accounts – income, outgo, categories of expenditures, etc. And, they don’t actually tell you in their promotional material that is will no longer allow you to pay your bills online.
#QUICKEN 2015 FOR MAC FOR MAC#
Quicken 2015 for Mac is filled with wonderful features, few of which I care about. Quicken extended the life of its 2007 version, making it compatible with the newer operating systems from Apple. Many of us rebelled, and eventually we got a reprieve. This happened once before, about five years ago when we Mac users received a rude Dear John letter from Quicken telling us that they would no longer support the Mac platform. Once I told him that I was (for the second time), he indicated that Quicken will no longer support Bill Pay on the Mac. That was where I thought we had started the conversation, but he was late to the party. After about 30 minutes typing back and forth, he asked if I was a user of Quicken Bill Pay.
I went online for an arduous text session with a kind young man who tried to help me.
Quicken is not known for communicating with their customers. This week my version of Quicken stopped working for online banking. It takes seconds, and it has been, mostly, flawless all these years. Later I can post all of my payments to be paid.
Then I hit return and the bill is put into my payment queue. If I want to pay the electric bill, I type the first letter or two of the utility company, and then I hit the tab key and type in the amount. Quicken allows me to keep track of income and expenses, and it has, until now, allowed me to pay any bill to any vendor online. I have been a Quicken user since 1987 – 27 years.
