When you add a bill, what you are really adding is a reminder to pay the bill. You also have the option of paying the bill using Quick Pay and Check PayPay (Not available in Canada).
Finding the Bills & Income tab

- Add the bill to Quicken.
Enter the bill payment when it's due.
Expand title Tell me about entering the bill payment When the bill payment is due, Quicken follows your instructions and either reminds you to enter a record of the payment in the register or transaction list or automatically enters the record of the payment for you.
If you enter the record of the payment yourself, you can verify or change the way you want to make the payment. You have two options:
- Make the payment online. Select this option when you want to create one-time online payments or repeating online payments. If you're creating one-time online payments, you still need to send the payment, as described in step 3 below. Before you can make online payments from Quicken, you must activate an account to send online payments or sign up for Quicken Bill Pay.
- Make the payment manually. Select this option when you want to pay in cash or write a check (Cheque in Canada) to mail.
Send the bill payment.
Expand title Tell me about sending the payment Regardless of whether you enter the record of the payment in Quicken yourself or you have Quicken automatically enter it for you, you still need to send the payment.
- If you're making this payment online, you need to send the payment to your financial institution for processing. The one exception is if you've set up this payment as a repeating online payment, in which case the payment will be sent at the specified time without any additional intervention.
- If you're making this payment manually, you need to pay in cash or mail the check (Cheque in Canada).
