Once you have entered your payment account information, you’ll see a verification screen letting you know that you can now use the account for Quick Pay payments.

If you wish to only use Quick Pay: Click Done, then click Done again in the Payment Accounts for Quicken Bill Manager screen to return to the Bills & Income tab and start paying bills with Quick Pay.

If you also want to use Check Pay: There is a verification process to enable a payment account for Check Pay. This process calls for the recording of two micro-deposits (between $.01 and $.99) that will be made to your account. The payments may take up to three days to appear. Follow the steps below to complete the Check Pay verification.

1.  To start the process immediately after you’ve added your Quick Pay account, select Begin Verification.
   
   • If you’re starting from the Bills & Income tab, click the gear icon and select Payment Accounts. Once you are back in the Payment Accounts for Quicken Bill Manager screen, click the Begin Verification button next to the eligible account you want to enable for Check Pay.
2. After clicking Begin Verification, follow the on-screen prompts. Then, click Done. 

3. Within the next three days, two micro-deposits will appear in your account. Check your register for the micro-deposits (they will display the payee name, Sp Quicken). When they appear in the register, go to the Bills & Income tab and click the Account needs verification message above the billers list. Please note, these micro-deposits will be withdrawn by Check Pay at a later time. However, the amounts will still be valid for the verification process. 

4. Select Verify.

5. Enter the deposit amounts and click Verify Account. 

6. Click Done.

If your amounts are correct, your account will now be enabled for Check Pay. The Payment Accounts for Quicken Bill Manager screen will also display confirmation that the account is enabled for Check Pay.

If you cannot access your bill online, or would prefer to track your bill manually, you can add a manual bill. For a manual bill, you supply both the billing amount and the billing date/interval. Manual bills can be paid with Check Pay.

1. Select the Bills & Income tab.
2. Click + (plus sign).

3. Select Manual Bill. 

4. In the Add Bill Reminder screen, enter or select the name of the payee in the Pay to field and click Next.

5. Select Allow paying with Check Pay.

6. In the Edit Payee screen, click Copy info from Billpay. 
7. Fill out the remaining fields and click Save.  
8. Verify the address you have given. Review your address and select Done.
9. Click Done on the Add Bill Reminder screen.
