Why is your Quicken Bill Pay not working anymore?
As of 2021, Quicken has shifted to a new Bill Pay platform. The Bill Pay service was discontinued on May 31, 2020, due to the withdrawal of service from its provider. The Quicken Bill Pay service was offered and managed by a third-party company named “Metavante”. Metavante made the decision to discontinue their bill payment service offering as of 5/31/2020. The new pay platform is called the ‘Quicken Bill Manager‘ and it offers two ways to easily pay your bills, namely:
1) Quick Pay– You can send electronic payments to billers (payees) who have online accounts accessible by Quicken. This includes over 11,000 billers.
2) Check Pay– You can send a check to anyone in the United States with an address. The check is sent through a Quicken service. You will no longer need to print or mail checks.
