How does this affect Bill Pay?
After this change, you won't be able to use Chase Bank, First USA, CardMember Services, Bank One, or Bank of America Bill Pay in QuickBooks. Any scheduled or recurring payments you’ve already set up with:
- Chase Bank, First USA, CardMember Services, or Bank One will still go through until 9/27/2022.
