BoA and Quicken BillPay? BRH 03-06-2008

 Because I will soon be moving to an area not serviced by Wachovia (my
current bank), I'm considering opening a checking account at Bank of
America (BoA). Since BoA has branches both here and where I'll be
moving to, I figure that I can start transitioning my finances over to
them now.

I've always paid my bills online with Wachovia thru Quicken, and have
never been charged any fees. Does anyone know whether Bank of America
works the same way, or do they charge a monthly fee if you pay bills
thru Quicken?

Thanks!

Yes. They tried to charge us when we first opened the account because they
thought we had signed up for the Quicken bill pay. When we told them that we
were only downloading into Quicken they reversed the charge.

The work around is to do your bill paying on the BoA website instead. That's
how I pay my bills and don't have a monthly service fee. I also have several
vendors that send me e-bills through BoA. I don't think that is available if
I pay through Quicken. I can also pay my bills if I am on someone else's
computer when traveling.

SORRY I DON'T SEE ORIGINAL TO REPLY TO:
I have quicken set up to pay certain bills automatically thru BA and I also
input into quicken other bills I want BA to pay. When I do a update or one
step update BA comes back with check nrs that they assigned to my checks.
ALL FREE and I do not need to go to BA website.

That is similar to what I can do through Citibank. However, you have to
have a special account (an "everything counts" account) and an
unconscionably high balance in your total accounts. That was simple when
I had a mortgage there, no some IRA funds are still (barely) doing that
trick.

While different in "feel" both Citibank and Chase have good websites,
IMHO
