I need to create a positive pay file for the bank

    I work for a Bank in Treasury Services. We are actively promoting Positive Pay to all of our business banking customers to minimize check fraud. Through our Banking Software we are charged over $3000/month for Quicken and QuickBooks Direct Connect usage with no support from either party. The bank is on its own.

     

    I have been dealing with the issue of trying to export check register reports from both Quicken and QuickBooks for Positive Pay for several years and it always either requires custom programming or an expensive third party software or consulting engagement for our customers.

     

    Intuit should include Positive Pay support in its integration services for Direct Connect to all financial institutions that support Positive Pay. We pay significant integration fees and monthly usage fees totaling thousands of dollars which we do not charge customers for in using Intuit Products!

    I'll suggest our PoaitivePay apps again. They're inexpensive & they work with QuickBooks, both Online and Desktop, and also with Excel (no accounting software needed) which can work with Quicken reports, exported to Excel.

     

    Here are links to each product:

    BRC PositivePay file Creator - QB Desktop

    BRC PositivePay file Creator - QB Online

    BRC PositivePay file Creator – Excel

     

    If your bank isn't listed, drop us a support request to add it. We can usually add a new bank within a week.

    Hi susiecpa,

    Creating a positive pay for the bank would be a great option. As a workaround, you can head over to QuickBooks Desktop Apps. The page will give you a full list of Third Party Applications for the positive pay file.

    You can also let our product managers know about this suggestion, so they can apply it on our next release. Just click the Help menu and select Send Feedback Online.

    All feedback goes to them and everything we update in QuickBooks is based on that information.

    Feel free to visit the Community at any time you have other questions or concerns. Thanks.

    We used VBA code in Excel to create the NACHA compliant positive pay file. Runs fast. No apps. No monthly fees.  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/OlxESWuubcU">https://youtu.be/OlxESWuubcU</a> is a video of how it works.   Protects the client and GREATLY reduces manual data manipulation and errors.  You can give us a call if you don't feel like writing it yourself!  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.turnkeyoffice.net">www.turnkeyoffice.net</a>

    To create positive pay file directly from your QuickBooks company and with no additional data entry, use our BRC PositivePay file Creator app, which will pull data directly from your QB bank account and create positive pay files for ~50 banks.  If your bank is not listed, let us know and we can probably add it.

     

    For QB Online, use our BRC PositivePay file Creator - QB Online

          Can anyone send the steps to create a positive pay payee file using QuickBooks Enterprise?

            Thanks for joining in the thread, @Lucym18.

             

            Let me share some information about creating a positive pay file. At this time, this feature isn't available in QuickBooks Enterprise. As mentioned by my colleague above this thread, you'll have to visit our QuickBooks Desktop Apps to check for a third-party application. 

             

            Additionally, our Community Backers can recommend and assist you on how to create this using a third-party app. 

             

            If you need anything else, do let me know. I'll be around to help. Have a nice day!

              Is this feature available now - almost 2 years later?

               

              With check fraud at an all time high, banks will soon be forcing companies to do this.... we are right at the edge of that cliff...
