I am trying to setup online bill payment in Quicken 2006 Home & Business. If I understand correctly I can do this without using "Quicken Bill Pay". My bank offers the service to me for free, so that's what I want to set up. But, it seems that "Quicken" wants to guide me through setting up their service.
I've got the account set up on line, and I've down loaded transactions. I can go into the banks site and set up payments, then download them to quicken after they have been made. I would prefer to work from the checking account register and select "send online payment" from the number field. (I've seen this in the book.) However, it's not an option in my dropdown list, and I can't seem to set up online payees in the "Online Center".
The "Overview" window for the checking account shows Transaction Download = Activated, but Quicken Bill Pay = Activate Quicken Bill Pay . I don't want to use "Quicken's" service, but rather that available from my bank. The way to set this up seems well hidden.
Thanks in advance for your help.
