Overview

Ready to boost your bill tracking experience in Quicken? Bill Manager lets you view and pay all of your bills in one place! 

Bill Manager offers two ways to easily pay your bills with Quicken:

  • Quick Pay: Send electronic payments to billers (payees) who have online accounts accessible by Quicken. This includes over 11,000 billers. 
  • Check Pay: Send a check to anyone in the United States with an address. The check is sent through a Quicken service, so you will no longer need to print or mail checks.

Instructions

Enabling a payment account for Quick Pay

  1. Open the register for the account you want to use.
  2. Click the Settings button in the bottom right corner.  

  1. Go to the Bill Pay tab in the Account Settings screen and click Enable Quick Pay....

  1. Fill out the information in the Enter Account Details screen, then click Save

Once you've entered your payment account information, the account will appear as Enabled in the Bill Pay tab. 

Enabling a payment account for Check Pay

If you also want to use Check Pay, you will need to verify the account by recording two micro-payments (payments of between $.01 and $.99) that will be made to your account. The payments may take up to two days to appear.

  1. In the Bill Pay tab, click Start Verification....

  1. Confirm the information in the Edit Payment Account screen is correct and click Continue.
  2. Click Send Verification Deposits.
  3. Within the next two days, two micro-deposits will appear in your account. Check your register for the micro-deposits. Please note, these micro-deposits will be withdrawn by Check Pay at a later time.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. To enter the verification amounts, return to the Bill Pay tab and click Complete Verification.
  5. Enter the deposit amounts and select Submit. 

  1. If the amounts are correct, your account will be enabled for Check Pay.

Once your payment accounts are set up, you can begin adding bills.

Adding an online bill

There are two types of bills you can add, an eBill or a manual bill. An eBill accesses a web-based user account to download your bill amount and due date, which it can then use to remind you to pay the bill. These online bills can be paid with Quick Pay. To add an online bill:

  1. Select the Bills & Income tab.
  2. Under Bills, select + New Bill.

  1. Select Add eBill.

  1. Search for and select the name of your eBiller. 
  2. Link your bill by entering your login information. It may take some time to process the login and sync the account. If an error occurs, check your login info and try again.
  3. Click Done when complete. The linked bill will appear on your Bills & Income page. The new bill will appear on the Biller list with the default action Quick Pay
  4. You can continue to add more bills using the above method until all of your online bills are set up.

Adding a manual bill

If you can't 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. You also have the option of paying the bill with Check Pay.

  1. Select the Bills & Income tab.
  2. Click + New Bill
  3. Select Add Manual Bill

  1. In the Transaction Details screen, enter or select the name of the payee in the Payee field. Enter any other relevant information and click Continue.
  2. Set up the schedule and click Save
