Check Pay is a way to automatically send payments by check through the Quicken application. Unlike our check printing feature, this service sends the actual payment. You select the account to make the payment from and the payee. Quicken sends the check using our service, Check Pay. Through our tool, you can set your payment account, add a payee, confirm the address, send a payment, and verify that the payment has been sent.
