If you’re thinking that you’ll just buy Quicken 2007 instead then, you’re out of luck. Direct Connect Bill Pay is a completely different service to Quicken Bill Pay which only works in Quicken 2007 for Mac and the Windows version of Quicken. Note that confusingly, Quicken 2016 for Mac does not support Quicken Bill Pay for direct bill payments from your account. Intuit don’t seem to have provided any official list of banks that work with Direct Connect on Mac so you have to contact your bank in order to check whether it’s supported or not. Of course, this is still limited to banks that support Direct Connect Bill Pay and as many Quicken users will tell you on Mac, it doesn’t sometimes work as well as it should. 8 years after it first appeared in Quicken 2007 for Mac only for Intuit to bizarrely Kill Bill (Pay) in Quicken 2015 last year, Quicken 2016 now supports Direct Connect Bill Pay from over 450 banks and it also allows you to transfer funds between accounts at the same financial institution. You might have guessed it from the headline but the big addition to Quicken For Mac 2016 is finally – yes finally – Bill Pay online payments. The big question is, does this final throw of the dice by Intuit disappoint as much Quicken 2015 or has Intuit finally made peace with Mac users? We took a closer look and reviewed Quicken 2016 on Mac although the results were quite disappointing and we’re recommending switching to one of these alternatives to Quicken on Mac. And this is probably the last ever version we’ll see from Intuit because In March 2016, the company announced that it has sold Quicken to private investment firm HIG Capital. Quicken For Mac 2016 has been released today despite it taking 7 years for Intuit to release the last big update to Quicken last year. Check out our review of Quicken 2018 for Mac for more.

Update: Quicken 2018 for Mac has now been released and Quicken 2016 is no longer available.
