What I don't understand is the expense account situation.

I don't know what this means "expense account".

I do understand which BANK ACCOUNT it'll come from.

It is this bank account I would like to change where the fees come out of.

I don't see a bank account situation.

How does QB know which account is associated with QB payments fees in regard to an expenses?

Hi, Cynthia.

The expense account is the account where you want to track your fees aside from the bank account. An example is when you record a deposit for your sales transactions. You set a bank account where you want to deposit the amount or sales, then the processing or bank fees (which is an expense account) deducting your sales.

I'm adding this screenshot for your visual reference.
