   More Information about this screen

   To make a Quick Pay payment to your online biller you will need to provide a few details to help the system make a payment on your behalf. 

   • Amount: By default we will display the amount of the bill, but you have the flexibility to pay a different amount. For a credit card bill, you will have the minimum amount, total amount due, and a choice to pay any amount between those two amounts. Some billers will not allow you to pay more than the amount due.

   • Account to use: Any account that is enabled for Quick Pay payments. 

   • Date: Quicken allows you to either pay a bill immediately or to schedule that bill to be paid later. The payment date will default to today’s date. If you want to make your payment immediately, leave the date set to the default. The payment will be made as soon as possible, usually within minutes. If you want to schedule a payment, pick a future day on which you want the bill to be paid. In most cases you can schedule a bill up to 45 days in advance. We recommend you schedule your payment no later than a day or two prior to the due date to allow recovery from any possible payment issues prior to the due date to avoid late fees or penalties.
     Note: Some billers will only allow same day payments.

   • Category, Tag, and Memo fields. These will help Quicken to create better reports on your payments and transactions.

If you choose to Schedule a payment, that payment will appear immediately in your register marked as Scheduled. The status will change to Paid once the bill is paid or Failed if the bill could not be paid. You can also see your scheduled payments in Calendar view.

You can cancel a payment prior to the payment date if you want to make changes to the payment amount/date/account or to pay via another payment method.
