Do you have the right financial institution? zWachovia is the special name they cooked up for old First Union accounts. Have you tried just "Wachovia Bank"? (I use zWachovia for the accounts that were transferred from FU and Wachovia Bank for those I opened since the merger. And pretty soon they will al be Wells Fargo.

I have been using zWachovia for years with MS Money. Quicken finds my accounts at zWachovia. Quicken will dowload my account transactions from zWachovia. Quicken will transfer money between accounts at zWachovia. But Quicken will not set up online bill pay at zWachovia.

I'm running Money in parallel until I get Quicken sorted out and it still works fine.

I have the same issue. I was playing with my account setup when my zWachovia credit card went to Wells Fargo and it never came back.. It does everything except send checks from Quicken. Everybody blames the other party but we know it is Wachovia. It was a handy service to have. I hate losing it but for the five checks I write a year, not worth trying to find another bank.

I think if you can download your account transactions, zWachovia bill pay is already setup. In Q2010 with zWachovia, you can use Tools, Online Payee list, New. This gets you to "Set up Online Payee". Enter the appropriate information for the new payee. Now in the Online Payee screen, select the new payee and click on "Use". Fill in the information and click on "update/send". The next time you go online to download your transactions, the check you just "wrote" will be uploaded.

I can download but it gives an error every time when it tries to check for payments. If I actually set up a payment, it just sits in Q desktop and the pending transaction flag is on.

Bummer. Don't know what to tell you. I've been using it for many years and never had the problem you describe. Sorry I can't help.

Online Payee List is grayed out so not selectable. In the account info, it tell me Online Bill Pay Not Enabled.

I think I hosed it when I tried to shift to wachovia from zwachovia and them back. I use it so seldom, I don't really care.

Wachovia has a pretty good Quicken dedicated helpdesk. They will probably pass you to Intuit but that makes the call free. Try them

I tried the same thing a while back and it wouldn't work. Fortunately, I had a back-up and was able revert to zWachovia with no problem after I restored the back-up file.
