Question

QBO's new bill pay is wonky. Checks sent out do not have the vendor account number on them so I have had checks returned to me saying they don't know what account

to post to. This invoice number is also not on the check.
In addition only one invoice can be paid with each check.
AND it is slow. I sent a test check to myself and it took 2 weeks. Two weeks after my bank account was bebitted..
My solution so far is to NOT USE BILL PAY.
Anybody know if all this will be fixed? Clearly this is beta coding without notifying us that we will be bug testers.

You can signup for a free Melio account to integrate with QBO as a workaround. They use USPS to send checks with regular delivery time of 5-7 days. If you need to pay your vendors/contractors faster, you can use their Fast Check option (+ flat fee $20) and will be sent in 3 days via FedEx. Another strong point, you can easily void the check anytime in the app. QB Billpay ignores this important feature.

You can also get $100 cashback to pay the first bill.
