I'm trying to pay a vendor, they sent me a link to the online invoice so I could pay them. I filled out the details (business checking, rtg number, acc number) and it threw the error

Payment declined. Your payment method was declined. Please use another method or try again.

I checked with my bank (Bank Of America) and they say there are no restrictions on the account that would cause this. I then tried to pay with an old PNC bank account and the payment went through fine. How can I get more details on the error? The error shown on the website is less than helpful and I need to resolve this before I can close the old account. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

I found a method that worked for me on the receiving end after days of fighting with this terrible platform. I went into the invoice in question, unchecked / rechecked the bank transfer option on payments, then deleted and reentered the customer’s billing address. Payment was finally successful, even though nothing was technically changed.

Glad I finally got my money, but will be closing my QuickBooks account and switching to a different company after this. I’ve never been more disappointed with a program in my life since day one. The iOS app is useless and shows inaccurate info, servers constantly having issues, inconsistent grouping on transactions, etc… absolutely unacceptable for a program that is supposed to HELP with bookkeeping, not make it more difficult. Good luck everyone.

I recently closed Intuit account due to relocating to other state but was successfully used it for verdor's invoice payment with BOFA. When I opened a fresh Intuit account and assigned BOFA again I never was able to pay invoices getting same error "Payment declined". So, I was advised by Intuit support to subscribe to "QuickBooks Bill Pay Basic" on Intuit and then was able to enter Bank info to pay the invoice. Unfortunately, payment didn't go thru and I received the same error. I noticed, the BOFA has two types of Routing, one is for paper & electronic transfer, another one for wire transfer. When I recreated bank with WIRE routing type the payment went thru right away!
